Introducing Circe’s: Ponsanooth’s Healthy Pizza Haven – Fresh, Local, and Full of Heart
Imagine this: it’s Tuesday night, the village is quiet, the kids are doing their homework, and you’re craving something delicious but also mindful of those healthy eating goals. The fridge has the usual suspects, but what if there was something better? Something that hits the spot without compromising on health?
Well, say hello to Circe’s, Ponsanooth’s newest delight – an artisan pizza takeaway that’s family-run, veggie-forward, and rooted in the community. Named after the Greek goddess of herbs and potions, Circe’s began as a small deli in the village shop, and its magic has now extended to all the mouth-watering food offerings. And if you think "healthy pizza" is a contradiction, think again.
Veggie-Focused, No-Nonsense Pizza Perfection 🍕
This isn’t your standard, run-of-the-mill pizza joint. Becky and Lee, the minds behind Circe’s, have crafted a menu that brings together the best of both worlds – indulgence and health. We're talking about pizzas that pack a punch of flavour, with locally-sourced ingredients and a focus on mindful eating. These beauties are designed to satisfy your cravings without the guilt.
From their own garden herbs to fresh dairy from Trewithen and meats from Trevarthens, every slice is a celebration of Cornwall’s finest produce. There’s no greasy overload or artificial nonsense here, just wholesome goodness – exactly what the goddess Circe herself might have conjured up.
Think protein-packed pizzas that mums (and dads) on calorie-conscious diets will love, all while still feeling like a treat. A perfect post-gym reward or a cheeky dinner that doesn’t wreck the diet.
And Don’t Worry – The Classics Are Here Too 🍍🍕
Of course, we couldn’t forget the usual crowd-pleasers. For those times when you just want something familiar, you’ll find your favourites like Hawaiian, Pepperoni, and good ol' Margherita on the menu too. There’s something for everyone at Circe’s, whether you’re in the mood for a health-conscious creation or craving the comforting nostalgia of a classic slice.
A Village Effort – And a Family Treat 🌱
But it’s not just about the food. Circe’s is all about community. Everyone who works here is part of the village, making this more than just a takeaway – it’s an extension of the Ponsanooth family.
The pizza magic happens in a converted shipping container tucked behind the village shop, which Becky and Lee also own and run. With no other pizzeria or takeaway nearby, they saw a gap and filled it with something special. Affordable and delicious, with pizzas starting at just £10, they believe that during tough times, everyone deserves a little treat. And what better treat than a fresh, homemade pizza that ticks both the indulgent and healthy boxes?
Opening Specials and Harvest Festival Vibes 🎉
To mark their grand opening, they’re offering free sides and tipples at Ponsanooth’s Village Harvest Festival. Yes, free! The perfect chance to grab a taste of their soon-to-be-famous veggie pizzas while enjoying the village festivities. They’ll also be offering taster sides, perfect for creating some pizza awareness.

Ring in your orders via phone at the Ponsanooth Village Store or slide into their Insta DMs for a super-easy experience. Oh, and if you can’t make it out, no worries – they’ll deliver straight to your door, complete with a card payment option for ultimate convenience. 🍕🚗
Locally Sourced and Crafted with Love 💚
What sets Circe’s pizzas apart? It’s the fact that everything is made fresh, with local ingredients that shine. The pizza dough is Neapolitan-style with a Cornish twist (because, obviously, Kernow knows how to do it right). Their signature slogan? “Neo Pizza Base, Made in Kernow.” It’s a nod to the tradition of classic pizza but with a refreshing, local flavour.
Becky and Lee even grow their own herbs – talk about homegrown goodness! It’s this dedication to keeping things local and sustainable that makes Circe’s more than just another takeaway. It’s pizza magic, just like the goddess herself intended.
