    New friends from Indiana USA and Montreal, Canada

    A great selection of beer and pizza! If you time it right, you are able to snag a table when someone is leaving, then invite others to join you. So us Americans met some Canadians and made new friends as we are on our respective trips touring beautiful Scotland. Service was excellent for a very busy pub with great ambiance!

    Anchovies and olive pizza

    Black Isle was recommended to us by a local we met on a tour. There are several large community tables inside. Menus are on the tables. Once you decide on your selection you order and pay at the bar where you pick up your drinks and wait for your pizza to be delivered. They offer a nice selection of beers and interesting pizzas. We got the anchovies and olive pizza. We like a crisp crust and asked for the crust to be on the charred side but were advised they come one way. The pizza was good and has a lot of cornmeal on the crust which helps with the crispiness. I would have preferred Kalamata olives to the canned black olives but it was still enjoyable. My husband liked his beer and my wine was fine.

    Stout, Imperial ale and bourbon ale. We like them dark.

    Black Isle Bar left me speechless. Good food, good drinks and awesome staff. What more could you ask for! We will be back again. Keep up the great work.

    Good food. Great atmosphere. Order downstairs and they'll bring it up. We sat inside the wood huts which was a lot warmer than sitting straight outside. Pizza was thin and delicious. Next time I would try different toppings. Salad was great and had like a pepper in oil dressing. Friendly bartenders. 9/10 would recommend.

    We got back in town late from a day tour and were on the hunt for dinner. Most of the pubs' kitchens were closed when we found Black Isle. It was packed so we opted to order their black pudding and goat cheese pizza with a salad for takeaway. The pizza was delicious! Savory black pudding and tangy goat cheese atop crispy wood fire crust drizzled with wild scottish honey. For those that aren't afraid of black pudding, this one isn't to be missed

    The Venison pizza

    Ordered a Spider Money IPA and the venison Salami Pizza. It's an awesome place for beer and pizza. I would highly recommend this especially if you're hungry and thirsty. Service was awesome!!!!! Ambience was as it should be.

    Great service, beer & pizza. Estimated 30 min wait for pizza, it was out in 16!! We ordered a plain cheese for our 7year old, they mistakenly brought out a pesto margarita and immediately let me know the chef is remaking the plain cheese, as they made a mistake. Awesome service! Kids cheese pizza was out minutes later and all was well!! -they let us have the pesto marg, it was delish too!

    Kids drink :)

    Pizza was awesome!! Ordered a simple pepperoni pizza, a mushroom and - we came at the perfect time - because right when we were sat, and got our drinks and pizza there was some kind of a rush. People there were stellar - service was on top. Definitely recommend! Ambiance was casual and simple. Urban fun!

    Very good pizza

    Very good pizza, but great beer. Bought an eight pack (hand carried) and t-shirt to bring back to the states.

    We found our way to ZIZZI because it was right next to the apartment where we stayed in Inverness…read more And I'm so glad we did, because ZIZZI was great! I don't know how to describe the interior exactly, so I'll just call it rustic chic. A variety of different chairs around simple wood top tables. But each table was ornately set with large clear glasses, a wine bottle with the table number and wheat stocks(?) in it, a small candle, and vivid, brightly colored menus. And let's talk about those menus, shall we? So many tantalizing options. So many things just looked absolutely fantastic, and we were just a one couple, so we had a difficult time choosing between all of the different dishes. We started off with a Garlic Bombe. It was amazing. For drinks, we started with an Amalfi Sundown and a Limoncello Spritz. Those were both very delicious and refreshing. For our main dishes, we shared a Mushroom and Truffle with Burrata pasta (cause I have come to learn that you can never have too much burrata cheese), and a Pepperoni Campagna Pizza. These were unbeLIEVABLY good. We really didn't need any more food after all this, but they went and put a Baked Lemon and Black Currant Cheesecake on their dessert menu, and I'd never heard of that before. So naturally, I had to try it. It was fantastic, of course, and an excellent way to finish off our spectacular meal. The service was very friendly, and I was quite impressed by how fast everything came out. The place was hoppin', so that's just another indication that it's a good spot to grab a bite, when it's full of customers. We absolutely loved our visit to Inverness, and should we be fortunate to go back someday, ZIZZI would definitely be on our list of places to stop in for a meal.

    I was a 5pm walk-in solo diner. They put me in a corner basically on top of another 4-top table…read morewith 2 kids despite numerous open 2-tops. The table was oriented so the seats sat facing directly into the setting sun and they never offered to lower the blinds, despite being literally blinded. They didn't clear the 2nd place setting which I HATE. No one offered me water. I ordered the strawberry mocktail which was supposed to be made with soda but tasted completely flat. For food I ordered the margarita pizza and I got a huge piece of cheese flatbread with 3 pathetic leaves of basil. Tasted as bland as it looked. I was in and out in about 25 minutes. I'd never come back.

    We ate here on our last night in Inverness after a very long day on a tour. We did not have…read morereservations but the restaurant was accommodating and kind. The World Cup Game was on so it was lively and fun. I will tell you, this was some of the best seasoned food we had the entire time we were in the UK (two weeks). Finally we didn't feel the need to add salt to something. The flavor was just spot on. My husband had the beer steak pie with puff pastry, I had the Cullen skink, my son had a pizza (I can't remember if it was on the kids' menu or not) and my daughter had a Caesar salad with chicken, which she eats a lot at home and had been craving. Both the skink and the stew were perfectly flavored! The fish in the stew was tender and so was the steak in the pie. If we ever go back to Inverness, we will be sure to be returning to Johnny Foxes. Oh! And our waiter was wonderful! I don't remember his name but a young blonde man with a mullet kind of haircut. Thank you to him!

We had the pepperoni and Spicy beef pizzas and they were great! If you like thin crust, they were super . A little light on the cheese sonic you like lots of cheese and a thick crust, may not be your best choice. The reason for the rating is that it took us close to an hour to get our food. I'll take some heat as I should have spoke up earlier. Our waiter checked on us after about 40 minutes and was clearly distraught that we hadn't seen the food yet. About 15 minutes later, he came back and said it was almost ready. At the hour mark, I was ready to surrender and walk out. The manager showed up with the food, comped it and apologized for the mistake that he said he had made. All in all, still frustrating but the manager did his best to make it right. I would probably try another place first but the pizzas was great!

    Great pizzas, quick service and prices could be a bit better…read more I wish they had more options in their menu like soups, more pasta options etc. Would definitely recommend it if you fancy some nice pizzas in Inverness. For a more authentic Italian with more options I would recommend Bella Italia. 4 pizzas plus soft drinks was around 61pounds which for me is a bit too much when it's only pizza. Can't complain about the flavors and quality though, that's why I give 4 starts. Would like to take 1 star and a half off them because of lack of options in the menu and price.. All the rest is spot on.
