Aldo's Pizzeria - Kirklees

This was always one of our family favourite restaurants and a Go-to venue for us. I am writing this as the last couple of times we have had mixed experiences and maybe a 3.5 would be a fairer score. On our last visit the starters were good with a nice Mozzarella in Carrozza and a good Tagliatelle alla Paesana starter. Our granddaugher enjpoyed her penne all moda and the pasta was ok. However the pizzas were not good with the bottom of my diavola very hard. The ham on the prosciutto just did not look right and we took that off as it looked very old. The ham in the calzone was also not good and this pizza was taken off the bill. All in all it was a disappointing night as generally the food was good and it may have just been a new pizza chef. We just want them to get the standards back to where they were.

Visited here for family birthdays intending to eat Italian food. I had forgotten that they also serve Indian food. Hard to choose as I love both! In the end 3 of our party had indian the other 3 Italian. Both menus extensive with lots of dishes I hadn't come across before. Every one of us had starter and main and every dish absolutely faultless. Served piping hot and nicely presented. You can also see onto the Italian kitchen which is always a good sign. The service was excellent. Extensive wine list although only wanted one glass on work night. Will absolutely visit here again to try indian. My husband said his curry was the best he's had in a long time.

Aldo's specializes in pizzas and pasta, with a fantastic open kitchen where you can watch the pizza man expertly preparing the fresh bases before adding the yummy toppings and baking them in the oven. Upon arrival, you are greeted with a warm "ciao bella" and a kiss on each cheek from one of the waitresses or Pino, the owner. I cannot recommend this place enough - the atmosphere is always lively, the food never disappoints, and it's a hidden gem in the quiet town of Cleckheaton.

I have been a loyal customer of Aldo's for over a decade now. After a long day at work, I decided to treat my eldest son to a meal there while his younger brother was at football training. Aldo's has surpassed many competitors in Cleckheaton and recently transformed into a bar, adding a touch of class to the area. I opted for the two-course early bird menu and enjoyed meatballs in a spicy tomato sauce for the starter and Tagliatelle with chicken liver and bacon for the main, all for less than £10. My son chose chicken goujons from the children's menu and loved them. While some dishes on the specials board seemed overpriced, overall Aldo's deserves 4 stars for its atmosphere, service, location, friendliness, and food variety. Although I have enjoyed better meals at other restaurants, Aldo's remains a favorite and I will continue to dine there.

I had a fantastic experience at this restaurant. The pizza was delicious and the atmosphere and staff were amazing. The food was excellent and I will definitely be returning in the future. Highly recommend!
