There’s a reason you’ll often find a queue outside Poco. Masters in Sicilian street food, the team serve pizza by-the-slice from their Kirkstall Road shopfront, with veggie, vegan and meat toppings. Don’t miss out on the scrumptious arancini balls or bite-sized desserts, too.

4. Little Bao Boy
This Asian street food vendor has permanent homes in North Brewing Co’s North Bar and Springwell, but you’ll often find it popping up at food festivals, taprooms and events across the North.
