About
Welcome to Friday’s Pizza!
Hi, we’re the Cunliffe family, and we’re so glad you’re here. Every Friday night, we open our home to friends, family, and newcomers to share the joy of being together over incredible pizza and great conversation. Our ethos is all about making memories.
Eating together is better
Gathering around the table isn’t just about the food — it’s about creating a regular rhythm for conversations that go deeper, wider, wilder, and funnier than any quick catch-up or text exchange. In today’s fast-paced world where loneliness is rising, gathering around the table with others over a shared meal has become increasingly rare, and more important than ever.
We believe that ending the week with good food, laughter, a few tears, and the company of friends is the best kind of therapy.
It’s easier than you think and better than you imagine
When people ask how long we’ve been hosting pizza nights, they’re often surprised to learn it’s been over twenty years! During that time, we’ve learned a lot, experimented, tweaked, and improved our process for both pizza-making and hosting the evening. But the basics have always stayed the same. Eating together makes life richer — and yes, it’s sustainable!
Many people worry that hosting communal meals involves too much work, cleaning, or expense, but we’ve found the opposite to be true. Sharing food with others is not only less work but also more cost-effective. Plus, the leftovers often provide enough for two extra meals! Think omelets, grilled sandwiches, quiches, or tortilla wraps. Oh — and you really don’t need a magazine-perfect, spotless house to invite others in.
“Taking care of people is like working at a hospital. Restaurants and hospitals use the same word: hospitality.”
The Bear, Season 2, Episode 7
