Here are some of your favourites, according to reviews left on TripAdvisor.
Caesars Pizza Palace
First up on our list in Caesars Pizza Palace on Feilden Street, which comes in with a total score of 4.5 stars out of 5 from 10 reviews.
It ranks fourth out of 20 for pizza in Blackburn and 56th out of 140 total restaurants in the town.
One review said: “I’ve tried pizza from most places in Blackburn and Caesars is in a league of its own. The chef actually takes pride in his work and it shows in the product. Will definitely go back.”
The restaurant initially closed in December 2018 but re-opened at its new site less than a year later, to the delight of its regulars.
Checco’s – Great Harwood
Checco’s sits on Whalley Road just outside Great Harwood and boasts a score of four stars from a massive 232 reviews.
Out of Italian restaurants in Blackburn it places fourth out of 11 and is ranked 28th out of all restaurants.
One review said: “We didn’t know about this place until we happened to drive past it last week. Nice seating/waiting area, traditional Italian interior with candles in the evening, very friendly staff and good choice of menu.
According to most reviews this place is more of a sit-down joint, but they offer takeaway as well for you to enjoy their extensive menu in the comfort of your home too.

Another said: “Lovely food, lovely service, and great value for money.”
Amalfi also offers delivery though the homely feel inside makes this place look like one to be enjoyed in-person.
