The Besta Wan Pizza House

Bestawans what did you do we lived in Cardiff for 10 years, and went to Bestawans every weekend for the majority of those years. (I had an ornament made for my Christmas tree with a picture of the Bestawan’s sign, if you want to know the extent of my love for this place.) We moved away and now visit Cardiff yearly. We came back for our typical pizza order, and are now mourning the loss of something amazing. The pizza is no longer fluffy and oozing cheese. It is thin crust, hard, and honestly just standard pizza you could get anywhere. We used to have to hunt for 5lb of toppings within all the cheese on the pizza. Now, it’s just light, and kind of bland with minimal flavor. A colossal pizza use to be hard to finish, and now it’s super easy. Overall, just a really disappointing experience that reflects the new management and however they have decided to cut costs. Just a warning for those that are coming here for the pizza that was pre-2023. I’m so sad!

Peanut butter chicken wings are absolutely amazing - a local favorite

Super locals-only vibe with new ownership, stellar food, TV's, outdoor seating, and a friendly staff. Vegetarian options: Not a Veg place, but the owner is a terrific chef and may change that up soon

Best pizza ever

Best pizza! The peanut butter wings are tasty. Excellent food and also great beer and drink selection.

@Catherine L , we can all see you ate all that pasta . What a croc of a review . This place does not serve small portions. Don't believe pictures of half eaten pasta posted. In Catherine's picture for example you can see how much of that pasta that pig devoured before posting her 1 star review. Catherine you need to get a life cupcake. Be better.

My wife, kids, and I’m I went to Besta-Wan for an early dinner this weekend. I guess it has been around for awhile, , but we happen to stumble upon it while in Cardiff. Wish we would’ve found this place sooner. Our family enjoyed an early dinner outside. The service was great, and the food was amazing. We ended up bringing some of it home. Our kids loved the chicken tenders. Probably should’ve ordered more for them, since they inhaled it right away. Definitely a place we will visit again soon.

I am so glad we discovered Besta Wan. This place is adorable. The location is perfect, ofc a super busy street, but still super close to the beach, that you get that beach atmosphere. We went with our 1 and 4 year old. I love that they have the picnic tables outside. My oldest was so excited to sit at it to eat. We ordered the BTLA with the best aioli ever. I actually asked for it on the side, since sometimes I don’t like the flavor, but this one was amazing. I brought my leftover portion home. My sandwich and salad was so good and generous, it was actually 2 meals for me. My husband had the burger and my two daughters each had the chicken tenders. My 4 year old said they are the best she has ever had, and now only wants them from here. Whatever the chef does to make these, I wish I knew the secret. Now that we have discovered Besta Wan, we will definitely be back, and a lot according to my daughter.

I've dined at Bestawan for brunch and dinner and everything my table had, both times, was incredible. Their penne bolognese is comforting and flavorful; the Besta Salad is to die for (we all couldn't get enough!) I loved the Huevos Rancheros for brunch. The atmosphere is truly memorable and feels as if you're dining in someone's home surrounded by cheerful decor. It's truly a special place to eat and a memorable experience. Also their portions are very generous and I had to take half my pasta home so it was pretty much two meals in one.
