BEST PIZZA IN TAUNTON
Homemade Dough • Flame-Fired • Independent • Town Centre
The Only Place in Taunton That Makes Dough From Scratch
At Ludacrust, we don’t cut corners. We’re the only pizza restaurant in Taunton’s town centre that actually makes its dough in-house, every single day. No frozen bases. No factory-made crates arriving on a lorry.
Just flour, water, salt, a little yeast and time – plus a team that genuinely cares.
Our dough ferments slowly for flavour and texture you simply can’t buy in.
A One-Off Pizza Oven Built for Taunton
Most places buy an oven.
We built ours.
Our custom-designed, stone-lined oven gives Ludacrust pizzas their signature bake: blistered crust, soft centre, and a fired flavour that only comes from doing things properly.
It’s the heart of the restaurant — and the reason our pizzas taste different.
Local Ingredients, Local People, Local Energy
We work with suppliers from across Somerset and the South West, chosen for quality rather than convenience.
- Italian cheeses from trusted producers
- The best local buffalo mozzarella
- Seasonal veg – including wild garlic when in season
- Independent drinks and softs that aren’t available in supermarkets

Everything is selected to make the best pizza we can — and to keep money flowing through the local economy.
Eat-In Only: We Focus on the Pizza, Not the Postcode
We don’t deliver.
That’s deliberate.
Ludacrust is built around craft, not courier logistics. Our pizza is meant to be eaten fresh out of the oven — not steaming in a box or shaken on a bike. We put all our energy into:
- exceptional in-house service
- consistent food quality
- a relaxed, warm town-centre space
- people over platforms
If you want pizza that travels well, there are plenty of places doing that.
If you want the best pizza in Taunton, served the way it’s meant to be, you come to us.
