Freshly prepared in the traditional Italian way, our stone oven baked pizzas are a firm favourite with many of our customers. Measuring up to 12 inches, they are available with a range of toppings to choose from. Unable to finish your pizza? No problem, we are always happy to pack leftovers for you to take home. As well as pizza, you will find a selection of other great Italian dishes on the menu, including pasta, fish, meat, seafood and salad options.
Located in the Norwich Lanes area, we are fortunate to be amidst a great mix of unique independent shops. The Forum, market area, Maddermarket Theatre, Theatre Royal and Chapelfield Shopping Centre are all also just a short walk away making Paolo’s Restaurant a convenient place to stop off and stretch ones legs whilst grabbing a tasty bite to eat.
A family business run with professional and friendly staff, Paolo himself is always happy to chat about how the dishes are prepared.
Aged 17, I moved to Bolzano, a city in North Italy and became friends with my good friend Pino. Pino helped run the family restaurant and this is where I watched my friend and his father go about their business and thought, one day I would love to run my own little Italian restaurant.
I spent a great deal of time in Pino’s restaurant, sometimes lending a helping hand, and also frequented other restaurants in the area, watching and learning. I worked in various manual jobs and saved so that one day I could open my own business.
Over the years, I’ve developed my knowledge of Italian cooking and I’m a great believer in doing things the traditional way to capture true Italian flavours. This is why we order some ingredients such as flour, olive oil, pasta, tomatoes, and supplies such as coffee and wine, from Italian suppliers who deliver goods from Italy to the UK.
We are a family run restaurant in Norwich, led by primo chef Paolo Duraj. Throughout his career, owner Paolo has developed his knowledge of Italian cuisine and is a great believer in doing things in the traditional way to capture true Italian authentic flavours.
