    Our favorite pizza place that we went to in Italy. Happy we made the teeny trek out here in the rain for it. It seems like half of the diners here go for their sandwiches and half go for the pizza. We came here twice for their pizza. Each "1" you order they cut off a big slice and then cut that one in half. Lunch for two can be as cheap as around 6 Euro. We loved all the flavors we tried - mushroom, sausage, proscuitto and cheese. The pizza is crisped just right and the crust has the right amount of thickness. The pizza isn't under or overly covered with toppings either. Quick, simple, cheap and easy lunch. The guys here are friendly too. Highly recommended!

    This place has great food for an amazing price. It has a very peaceful atmosphere and I loved my meal. I would highly recommend coming here for a quick, quality, and inexpensive meal. (10/30/2017)

    So fun! A little hard to find. The nav passes the restaurant. It's located on the street with the vendors. Just a few stores away from the corner. Pizza is delicious. Chianti clásico is Smooth and delicious.

    For the late night dinner on the cheap, this is the spot. Closes at midnight so you have some wiggle room on getting in. Casual dining setup where you order your focaccia bread sandwiches or pizza, then sit on one of the benches to eat. The set up is simple but the flavor is anything but. The speck sausage and Mozzarella pizza had a slight spice to add to the savory. Their sandwiches are made to order like spinach and mozzarella or the bacon and mozzarella. The menu was in chalk and from what I understood, the items change daily. So what I had one day may not be there the next. This is also a good "on the go" spot for sandwiches as they were not spilling out the sides when biting into them.

    Love the simple and clean counter!

    Was directed here by an old lady at another pizzeria coz we told her we wanted pizza by slices. Came here and did a DIY foccacia and it was delicious! Simple deco, comfort food. Nice!

    Super friendly staff and reasonable prices. I got the melenzane picante (eggplant) and funghi focaccine sandwiches each for 2.50 E. The bread is buttery and quite tasty, and the sandwich is heated in the oven right on the spot. My companion tried the mushroom pizza. When the server cut a pizza slice, I thought he was preparing the 2 slices I ordered (2.50 per slice; price varies per topping types). However, it turns out the slices are quite large, and he was cutting the first of two slices. The pizza crust is also buttery similar to the focaccia. It is crispy and thick the way I like it. There are wooden benches if you dine in. Overall the restaurant is a bit dark. They provide sturdy cardboard-like trays covered with wax paper if you take out. This place is near the train station and hence quite a hike if you live on the other side of Firenze.

    Great vegetarian options, meat options, and very reasonably priced. The pizza was great with good sauce and cheese. Their sandwiches were great as well with many different options to add to them. The place is also vegan friendly. Delicious.

    For an early dinner/quick bite (630) it was perfect - good cheap food and wine, and so pleasantly quiet and away from the heat of the day!

    November 9, 2024 2:30PM…read more It does appear they have two stalls on the same street that you can order from. One side seemed to have more alcohol on display and the side I was on was more sandwich focused, but I'm pretty sure you can order the same things from both windows. Initially I was going to get the 21 - Fresh Sausage and Eggplant because I'm an eggplant lover... the lady at the counter was kind enough to let me know that the fresh sausage is actually rare, uncooked sausage and gave me a small piece to try. I was getting ready to get on a train that day and didn't want something that might not sit well with me, so I moved on to number 27 spicy salami and cream cheese. My partner got the number 1, ham, cream cheese and rocket salad. Both are very good sized and oh so delicious. The line moved quickly, so many options for decision paralysis. This is the place for schiacciate Florentine as recommended from friends who used to live here. Definitely would recommend to study up their menu before coming so it's easier to pick what you want. This is more of a stall and you grab and go, we stood around the sidewalk and inhaled our sandwiches. Watch out for the pigeons getting ready to take your crumbs too, you can see them on the ledge of the building getting ready to attack. A must visit for Florence.

Racist owner randomly took my table and chair while I was eating on it to give to a Caucasian European couple. l'm an Asian female by the way. I showed him that my boyfriend was waiting in line to purchase food and constantly assured him we were using them and that we were buying food. He still took my table and chair and said I'll give you another one- to which it down graded to eating off 3 short chairs. I told the European couple that it wasn't fair that the server took our table to give to them and they just smiled and dismissed me. Racism at its finest. Their sandwich is not good. Actually the sandwich shop across the street I' Grone De Ghiotti is way better with service and sandwich taste. Sadly I don't think this post will change the attitude of the owner.

You walk into this tiny little sandwich shop and you better be ready to order immediately. First came the bread selection, then the meat, then the cheese. Pointing at things seemed to work best for me. I managed to say "Italian bread" while pointing to the top shelf, and when I pointed at the meat I asked, "That's pork, okay?" Deep breath... good start. Then they asked me about cheese. Hold on now, I'm still mentally processing my bread choices -- I'm not prepared for this speed-ordering competition. I finally said, "Whatever your best seller is," and they slapped on some kind of white cheese that I still cannot identify. Last step: toppings. The lady behind the counter pointed at something green and said, "This goes well with pork." I said, "Hit it." Finally, ordering complete. I grabbed my drink, paid the old man at the door who was running the whole operation with grace and happiness, and found the only outside seat available. Good timing too, because halfway through my panini the line was 10+ deep. That first bite was fantastic. The crunch and crumble of the bread somehow lasted all the way to the final bite. I added tomatoes, and the green stuff had this sweet flavor with a hint of dill. Whatever it was... it worked. This panini absolutely lived up to the Yelp hype. And to the old man running the place -- you do good work. Don't overwork yourself.
