Gourmet pizza with venison sausage, pear and walnuts at Cocopelli

Cocopelli Gourmet Pizza Bar occupies The Palms Restaurant & Bar Arena with a format built around casual, all-day dining. It opens from late morning until late seven days a week, pairing its hand-crafted pizzas with a full restaurant menu, cocktails and an alfresco option when the weather suits. Bookings, online ordering and set menus for larger groups give the busy Shirley venue several ways to serve both quick lunches and longer celebrations.

Pizza remains the defining attraction. Traditional choices cover Margherita, house meatball, mushroom and familiar ham or pepperoni combinations, while the gourmet list builds bolder contrasts. The Montonara layers chicken, sun-dried tomato, brie, spring onion and sweet chilli with pistachio cream; other pizzas use slow-braised lamb with feta and tzatziki, mixed cured meats, or beef and chorizo with jalapeño. Vegan cheese and gluten-free bases widen the possibilities.

The menu has enough depth to support a meal without pizza. Wings can arrive with New York-style heat or Cocopelli barbecue sauce, and the starters continue through seafood chowder, sizzling garlic prawns, calamari and loaded fries topped with pulled pork. Pasta ranges from hot-smoked salmon linguine and a vegetable pesto preparation to house meatballs, chicken and bacon penne, prawn and chorizo spaghetti, and slow-braised lamb ragù.

Porterhouse steak, pork belly and composed salads give the main-course section further weight, while banoffee pie, sticky date pudding and a hot dessert pizza bring distinct endings. Children have their own menu, and group set menus combine antipasto, wings, pizzas, salads and sides for the table. Staff also invite advance discussion of allergies and dietary needs, useful at a restaurant where the appeal often lies in sharing several different plates.
