This is a different branch of the great pizza chain which has a nearby location on Via Magna Grecia but with a bit more of a mom-and-pop vibe, meaning it is smaller, with less seating, and more interaction with the proprietor, Stefano, who recommended the classic margherita. I got a suppli and il funghi for good measure.
The cheese on the margherita was a bit burnt but I almost prefer that, as it added a bit of crunch and smokiness to an already beautifully light pizza base.
The Il funghi was excellent, with tons of mushrooms, and delicious white base.
The suppli also perfectly hit the spot--perfect crunch on the outside, and perfect combination of rice and cheese on the inside.
A fun language exchange with Stefano (Mandarin-Italian) to top it off and the great pizza was matched by a kind proprietor.
I will definitely be back! read more
