Barrio and Lewigi, South Wales

Offering pop-up wood-fired pizza, Barrio and Lewigi have made a name for themselves in Newport and beyond, despite opening just over a year ago.

Sharron Mulachy said: “I would definitely recommend Barrio and Lewigi – they do absolutely amazing pizzas.

“They are two local guys, doing a job they love, and they already have a big following with their pop-up events.”

The independent team consists of Lewis Garner-Mayo and Barry Seaman, who will be carrying out more pizza pop-ups at Rogerstone Welfare Ground in the future.
