We love good pizza, and even on a trip where we're focusing on local cuisine, if good pizza is available, we're willing to forego a meal of local culture to put it in our mouths. Black Isle Bar is located on Church Street, in the main couple of blocks stretch of bars and restaurants in the heart of Inverness. After a day out exploring Speyside whiskies, it was exactly what we needed for dinner. You order at the counter and find a table where they will deliver your food. The pizza menu has a handful of good vegetarian options, and there are plenty of beers on tap. My wife and I shared the Broccoli and Stilton pizza...It had a good, light, and chewy crust and overall good flavor, though I didn't taste much of the honey listed as one of the ingredients. We also shared a salad, which was quite fresh. They've got a nice rooftop garden-like seating area too (though it was too cold for us Californians to enjoy that space) Great pizza in a lively atmosphere with very friendly service. We'd definitely get it again if we were in Inverness.

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!

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.

I ordered a plain Margherita pizza and they had a selection of craft sodas, drinks, beers when you walk in. They also had other random things to buy (cheeses, wines, chocolates, snacks, etc) which took up a lot of room that could have extra tables added in place of. Food came out pretty quickly and I really enjoyed my pizza. I got the lavender lemonade and that was also delicious. This place closes pretty early so mostly just a lunch spot.

The food here was solid, but honestly, the service was a little goofy. First of all, why is it…read morethat some of these restaurants in the smaller towns have no idea what to do with a solo diner? I have no problem travelling alone or eating alone. Trust me, it's by choice. In some examples, it is excessive deference; in some, the coldest indifference; in some, utter bewilderment. In any case, it drives me crazy to see a server's behavior change going from my table to a family of four across the aisle. Second, I have to tell this story about marinara sauce. Maybe this was a cultural disparity, or maybe this girl was dumber than a box of rocks. You make the call. I ordered a calzone and, when it came out, asked for some marinara sauce. "I don't know what that is. I don't think we have that." "Uh...tomato sauce?" "Oh, sure, okay." And as she's walking away, I think, "Come on, we both speak English here. How can you work in food service and not know what marinara sauce is? And this is a PIZZA HOUSE?" Okay, so maybe they don't call it "marinara" in Scotland. After all, I read that the boom in Americanized Italian cooking in the United States occurred after WWII GIs returned from tours of duty in Italy raving about the food that they had eaten there; so maybe British Italian cooking is different than what evolved in the U.S. So she comes back with a dish full of...ketchup. Wow. Okay, that was funny. We clearly have a cultural barrier here, for which I can't fault her. The thought of ruining a perfectly good calzone with ketchup offends me, but oh well. Third try: "Uh, actually I wanted tomato sauce, like pasta sauce. Like pizza sauce--what you would put on the pizzas?" "I don't think we have that." Now I'm just stunned. My mind is going through all these wild possibilities, such as, Maybe they don't use tomato sauce on their pizzas here...? Nothing but white pizza? So I splutter, "Wh--uh--what? Don't you make your pizzas with tomato sauce? Any of the pizzas? Like those folks over there, that seems to be a regular pizza, with tomato sauce, right?" "Oh, like THAT stuff? You want that in a dish?" And then she looked at me as if I had a weird skin disease but she didn't want to be impolite but she was failing and still making a face. You know that look, right? So anyway, then she brought me the marinara sauce, but what the fuck. So the calzone was good--a vegetable calzone, which included corn! And they made me a delightful little chocolate sundae with cookie pieces at the end, so I was mostly satisfied with the experience other than those two minutes which I will never forget as long as I live.
