We ordered a margherita pizza here for takeout on our last night, and really loved it. We weren't that hungry and were exhausted, so a small pizza seemed like the perfect meal. This restaurant was walking distance and we could place an order online. Our total was only 8 or 9 euro. We appreciated that the pizza was cut since we were taking it to our airbnb. The chewy crust was great. We both loved it and it was perfect for sharing. The inside of the restaurant was cute and we would definitely eat in next time. I'm sure the pizza is even better when it's super crisp and fresh. Delicioso! read more

Berberè - Margherita - Pizza Near Me - Florence, FI

Had a wonderful experience! The pizza was delicious and who can argue with a €3,50 glass of wine. This was perfect for what I needed. Had a great lunch, quickly. Still seemed to be a few locals enjoying lunch as well which made me feel good. Service was very friendly! Knowing we were American, they checked in a few times to ensure we were good. read more

This was delicious. Everyone was so kind and the restaurant was adorable. I highly recommend this pizzeria.

Super busy but we were able to sit at the bar area. Saw them making the pizzas. Staff was nice

Berberè - Diavola pizza - Pizza Near Me - Florence, FI

Berbere creates a style of pizza that's all it's own! They're extremely proud of their sourdough base, which bakes up into a light, airy, chewy, and crispy dough that's easier to digest and that's topped with creative, organic ingredients. The Ortolana pizza came with baked zucchini, dollops of mashed potatoes, smoked provola cheese, and drizzles of a red paste made of peppers, cream, and parsley. We also added anchovies to the pie, which gave it a nice salty, umami flavor. All of the flavorful toppings came together nicely, and we also tried a side of the Capresina salad, made of a smooth, silky ball of buffalo mozzarella topped with finely chopped cherry tomatoes, oregano, basil, olive oil, and lemon peel. The salad came with several slices of their homemade sourdough bread on the side, which had a subtly sour, earthy flavor! Overall, this was a nice chain restaurant to try a unique style of pizza, and everything came at a decent value too. read more

The best pizza in Florence!!!!! Make a reservation or arrive at opening and you might get a table . Excellent!!!!

I loved this place! The pizza is absolutely phenomenal-- everyone I was with ordered a separate pizza and we all shared and everyone enjoyed each other's pizzas as well as their own. The service was amazing as well. Definitely worth checking out if you're in Florence! read more

Extremely tasty pizza. The crust is crunchy which is so hard to find with all these Neapolitan pizzas! This is better then restaurant pizzas I've had here. It's fast and casual and the staff is friendly. Highly recommend if u want a casual and good pizza for lunch or dinner read more

Berberè - Margarita - Pizza Near Me - Florence, FI

Came here on the last evening of my trip in Italy, because I wanted to try some pizza in Italy after having mostly pasta all week. It did not disappoint!!! Secured a reservation pretty easily the day of, but the restaurant was pretty bustling by the time we were mid-way through dinner. I currently live in NY, which is where I developed a love for pizza, and wasn't quite sure if I would rave about anything other than thin-crust margarita pizza. But Berbere was SO GOOD. So different from NY pizza -- I was blown away by how tasty the dough / crust was. It had the perfect, chewy texture. Was with a group of 4 people, and we got I think 4 different pizzas and my favorite was (surprise) the margarita, but for real all of them were delicious. Per a cooking class we did earlier that day, we were told you have to judge the quality of pizza by how you feel the day after, once you've had time to digest it. I forget why, something to do with the yeast (sorry if I'm wildly off). I must say, I felt great the day after. Wish I could have this pizza more often! read more

Solid neighborhood spot for craft pizza. Each are about 12" but it's more than enough for one pizza. We had the grilled feta withe olives & zucchini, which was phenomenal, and the sausage fennel pizza and prosciutto with orange. The hint of orange was subtle but a nice fresh flavor with the mozzarella and ham. read more

This place was actually delightful. They take pride in local, organic foods and even offer a really delicious substitute for coca-cola. We stopped in here one night since it was close to our air b&b, it was raining and we wanted a quick bite. We were pleasantly surprised by the quality and taste (we liked it better than GustaPizza!) Highly recommend, especially if you're looking to have something a bit different than traditional Italian pizza that's still yummy! Unfortunately, we didn't get a photo before we ate everything. read more

Well, I definitely need to try this place a second time. The time we went we booked a table for 14 people and when we got there, Florentine summer, hot night, we were put inside, in the most static spot of the place and the AC was broken. They didn't even bought a fan?! Since we were 14, we couldn't choose from the menu what we wanted but we had to take the tasting menu, so yes we got to try almost every pizza, but each one (they were smaller than usual standards) were divided in 8 slices that we had to split again in two so everyone could taste it. Well, that went well... Anyway, the idea is pretty awesome, since everyone knows the partnership between pizza and craft beer is the best one ever existed. They use light flours like kamut and starter so the bread is soft, tall and light. Pizzas are very very tasty and beer too is excellent. But, I know as a fact we all felt quite swollen after eating there. So I'll go back again, maybe with just one person, and give it a second try. It doesn't seem to be a place for groups. read more

Berberè - Pizza Near Me - Florence, FI

I recently tried this new place in the oltrarno with friends and was pleasantly surprised by not only the quality of the food but also the cool design of the restaurant. This is a very new-age pizza and beer joint where they even confirm which flour they will be using. I really kind of respect that. We chose a few different appetizers, all of which were absolutely great (think burrata and mixed cheeses) though very small portions, which would be only complaint. The pizza itself was very good, served already cut with an emphasis on fresh, wuality ingredients. The star of the night was the pizza topped with pumpkin, ricotta cheese and a spicy mostarda, this was absolutely incredible. I would love to eat this again. The beer is artisan-made, I really loved my refreshing weiss but almost like the 'morning glory' even more. They also have a pretty nice wine list! make a reservation as I see this being very popular with locals and just remember that though you might see 'pizza' and think it's cheap, this place is a little more than average, pizzas' around 10 - 14 euros (which is a lot..) and you probably don't want to share appetizers because the portions are really small. Very nice place and happy addition to the neighborhood, I will be back! read more

Italians have an obsession with digestion, and pizza is known (by many) as not being super digestible. So they went and developed more-digestible pizza, and that's where Berberè comes in. Well, as someone who likes to digest her food, although I can't say I usually talk about this on social networks, I can say that I digested Berberè's pizza in a manner that was, uh, A-OK. So, their yeast-free, whole wheat floured pizza (that cost 11 euros for what was not really more than a margherita) was digestible. But that is the biggest compliment I can give the place. Let's take a step back. I skipped the grand opening because I wanted to taste the food, not fight people to get a slice. Soon after, a certain Yelp Elite who is also a fantastic food blogger posted on her blog about an unacceptably long wait for said pizza, so I decided not to come to this restaurant. Apparently their oven could only do 4 pizzas at a time (I'm not sure if this is still true or if they have managed to build a bigger oven in the meantime), explaining the slow service. Then, a few weeks ago I was at Expo in Milan and ate at the Alce Nero Berberè there and it was SO GOOD, seriously one of the best pizza's I've had in ages. Oozy cheese, delicious crust, amazing flavour combo, for 10 euros. So I thought it was time to try the Florence venue. We went on a saturday night, booked a table outside for 4 people. We ordered and I had the good sense to ask the waitress to make sure the grilled zucchini on my pizza wasn't pre-made with garlic, to which I am allergic. To her credit, she came back to say yes, it was made that way. I asked for fresh zucchini to be sliced on top instead of the pre-grilled one, which she said was not possible, despite acknowledging that they did actually have the fresh ingredient in-house. According to the writing on the menu, no substitutions can be made. Not for allergies, either, it appears. So I chose a pizza that was basically a margherita with capers, but it took 3 lines to explain the provenance of every ingredient from the tomatoes to the cheese, oregano and capers, so that drew me in (everything sounds nicer with storytelling). I opted for one of the special doughs of the day, a yeast-free number due to the aforementioned digestion. Our drinks arrived, and my artisan cedrata had been put in the freezer and was a lump of ice, so that got sent back. Half an hour later the 4 pizzas came (reasonable wait time). Mine (pictured in the photo) had the mozzarella on the bottom, then the super special tomato sauce carefully dollopped (cold?) with an icing bag into nice circles (with a measured circumference of 4.5cm) on each slice, precisely decorated with four super special capers. A rather heavy-handed sprinkling of oregano was applied. How was my pizza, you ask? Extremely underwhelming. Heavy, thick dough (though digestible - wonder how it rises so much though without yeast?) that tastes like sawdust (hey, everything whole wheat kinda does, right?). Cheese had solidified. Sauce cold. Capers good enough. I think they had let it sit out before serving us because it was lukewarm, which meant after the first slice it was just cold. Could the same thing have been made better? Probably had they put the whole thing in the oven, and served it right away, yes. And maybe with a good dose of high quality olive oil over the whole crust, and some salt both on top and inside the dough. Why did they get 2 stars? -minus one for the frozen drink -minus one for my bum falling asleep on the uncomfortable metal folding chairs that are more a nod to fashionable furniture than to ergonomics -plus one for the waiter who was able to correctly answer the question "what does the word Berberè mean?" (or maybe he was sh*tting us, we didn't really know the answer, but he said it with conviction) -neutral for the service, neither horrid nor notably wonderful -minus one for not accommodating food allergies in a place that is so hipster-friendly you have to assume that in any group of 5 people there's going to be 8 different allergies -minus one for the cold, not really good pizza -plus one for the fact that I digested my pizza Can you do math? I can't. read more

Berberè - Pizza Near Me - Florence, FI

This place is top notch. The dough is superb and the creative toppings (beet cream with leek and olive, for example) will make your decision making process take a bit more time. The beets were delicious. We showed up on a Wednesday night with four and did not have a reservation but the gracious server seated us anyway, he only asked that we try to finish in an hour as our table was reserved at that time. Despite the short timeline we never felt rushed or forced to leave on time. The beer selection is large and diverse. I can't wait to go back and try another creative beer and pizza combo. Although next time I will make a reservation:). read more

We dropped in on a Friday night without a reservation and we were fortunate to get a seat at the bar and we were able to watch the cook make the pizza. The wait staff were excellent. The wine went well with the pizza. The pizza was perfectly cooked and delicious. Only issue was with English. It was a little tough to understand the waiter but he worked hard. I'd recommend them for any meal. read more

Berberè - Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Florence, FI

We met a friend living in Florence here on a recent visit, and it was amazing. She brought us here because their 'classic' dough is traditional Tuscan style- thicker and grainier then the thinner crust pizza most places serve. The toppings were creative and fun. Also a nice break from the 'touristy' side of the river. read more

I sampled two different kind of pizzas, the 1st with Nduja which is spicy and the 2nd with zucchini and roasted potatoes. Both were great, and I drank some "Spaceman" IPA beer which is local to the area. The employees were friendly and spoke English. They accept credit cards here just FYI. read more

Berberè - margherita pizza with Buffala mozzarella - Pizza Near Me - Florence, FI

If you're looking for the most classic Italian pizza in Florence, this is not the place for you. However, if you're tired of all the typical Italian food and looking for a change, this is a great option. The pizza was delicious with some unique flavors. We spent 46 euros for a salad, 2 beers, and 2 pizzas, which made this one of our cheaper meals in the city. Definitely worth the trip! read more

Pizza, craft beer, local wines. Great friendly well designed spot in oltrarno just across the bridge. Pizza was exceptional, crunchy chewy dough, fresh cheese, capers and tomatoes. Really some of the best pizza I have ever had in Italy. Prices very reasonable. Try the dessert, for a pizza place it was exceptional, fresh panna cotta with citrus glaze. If I lived in Florence I would eat here regularly. Very friendly English speaking staff. read more
