We are always made to feel welcome at The Captain... we drive 40 minutes to dine there and they appreciate our efforts and always look after us. Food is fresh and so so tasty! True woodfire pizzas coupled with great wine and beer. Family run business with great staff. Highly recommend the trip to Aireys to taste the best pizza on the GOR.

Great spot for families! The wood-fired pizzas were delicious and came out surprisingly fast—huge bonus when you’re dining with a 4- and 2-year-old. The staff were polite and welcoming, making the whole experience smooth and enjoyable. We’ll definitely be back!
