Roxy Lanes and Roxy Ball Rooms are the place to go in Leeds for a mate date.
Whether you're looking for a game of pool after work or bowling on the weekend with the family, there's always a great reason to head over to one of the three Roxy venues.
Naturally, the food options here are always spot on for any occasion. Serving up a range of light snacks ideal for sharing and pizzas loaded with cheesy, salty and meaty options that you can sit down and scran with a post-game pint.

Now, Roxy Lanes and Roxy Ball Room are serving up a brand new menu that's bound to have pizza lovers walking through the door, even if there's no games booked.
The Roxy Dogs are an autumn staple, and the perfect way to celebrate a belated Oktoberfest. The bratwurst sausages are served in light brioche rolls with Roxy fries and piled high with crispy onions and sauces on the classic version. The Big Dog adds pepperoni slices, jalapeños and cheddar cheese into the mix for an all-out special bound to curb any appetite.
Pizzawise, there's a whole feast of options to choose from- we're talking seven different options, each with its own bragging rights.
Besides your standard margarita and pepperoni options (which certainly shouldn't be underestimated), the hand rolled Italian pizza options include a spicy buffalo chicken pizza with salt and pepper chicken, jalapeños, buffalo sauce and topped with rocket or a garlic sausage with cheesy mozzarella and sausage with a garlic butter base.
The Meat Feast should be reserved for those looking for a standout showstopper: packed with mozzarella, sausage, salt and pepper chicken, pepperoni, spring onion all topped with a generous drizzling of maple and bourbon BBQ sauce.
And if that's not enough, Roxy Lanes and Roxy Ball Room have fused the best Mexican flavours into a nacho-style pizza. A tomato base loaded with crushed tortilla chips gives this one a crunchy kick, balanced out with mozzarella, guacamole, sour cream and chives dressing with jalapeños, chunky salsa, red chilli and spring onion.

There's also vegan cheese and gluten free bases on request.
Those looking for options to share should take full advantage of the side options, available as three for £15. There's nostalgic crisscut fries and chilli cheese bites perfect for picking between rounds of ice-free curling or bowling, as well as nachos loaded with melted cheddar, guac, sour cream, salsa, red chilli and spring onion.
Besides the salt and pepper chicken with maple and bourbon BBQ sauce, the side options are entirely vegetarian, and with tasty staples like mac and cheese bites or the OG Roxy Fries to choose from, it's unlikely you'll miss the absense of meat in their food.

Best of all, the food options here aren’t limited to those wanting to play games, you can pop in for a bite to each or cocktail anytime, and take advantage of all the options on the menu.

Fantastic Leeds bakery owner claps back at one-star review calling him ‘silly man’
Daisy Jackson
One of Leeds' most popular independent bakeries has addressed a recent one-star review, which slammed them for being sold out of sandwiches.
Silver's Bakehouse, which comes from the same team behind Silver's Deli, suggested that the reviewer should 'work on their manners'.
The review hit out at the Farsley bakery for being sold out of sandwiches by the time they travelled 'an 80 minute round trip', describing owner Chris Riley as a 'silly man'.
The reviewer said they have been 'loyal high-spending customers since the first one opened' but wrote that they won't be visiting Silver's again after being left empty-handed.
They wrote: "It's all very good being mr instagram but things can go south very quickly silly man, make more sandwiches if you are going to be sold out in the first hour, don't risk the disappointment!!!"
Silver's Bakehouse has now publicly shared and responded to the review, stressing that they won't tolerate 'rudeness' and detailing the hard work that goes on behind the scenes.
He said: "Let me explain again for you, David…

"We start baking at 5am and rarely finish before 6pm. Everything is made fresh, by hand, often taking days to prepare, in a very small bakery. You can literally see how small it is - and we utilise every inch.
"We make as much as we physically can. Sometimes we sell out earlier than we’d like, and we’re incredibly grateful that so many people want what we make. But there is, unfortunately, a limit to how much we can produce.
"For the record, I’m not overly enthused about being “Mr Instagram” - what a truly horrendous phrase to conjure up. I managed to avoid it for years, but needs must and all that.
"I am genuinely grateful for your custom, David. Rudeness, however, I’m considerably less enthusiastic about.
"So yeah, we’ll keep working hard. You keep working on those manners."
