    Cheese up

    Cute sandwiches place in Pisa. Interior is so cute. They speak English very well. Wide variety of sandwiches and three are so many options to chose from. We got the pork and salmon and it was yummmyy. Sandwiches are general portions and filling. Wish we shared them but I managed to finish my own. They have many wine options as well. Chianti never disappoints so we opted for that. Inside seating is limited but there are seats outside. Restaurant is clean and service is awesome. If in Pisa, highly recommend this place.

    One of the best sandwiches I've ever had!! It's a very traditional Italian sandwich, salty cured meat, thick crunchy bread fresh local toppings. The meat to bread ratio at first sight might look to be off and on the bread heavy side (I wouldn't normally make a sandwich like this) but it totally works. Well-balanced sandwich, the meats are flavorful, bread is delicious, toppings and sauces were perfect, and the sandwich was easy to eat despite its large size and crusty bread Held together really well, the toppings stayed in place and didn't shoot out the back when chomping down. The fillings are on the lighter side but it totally works. Friendly staff that spoke English, highly recommend, grab on on the way to the leaning tower or after.

    Special 9

    The sandwich was mediocre at best. We went there at around 11:00 and the bread was very stale. The meat was also very dry and the truffle sauce could not compensate for the dryness. We ordered the special 9. The only reason I am not giving a 1 star is because the service was okay. The shop was located at a corner and the lighting was darker inside.

    Came here for salumi and was not disappointed. Ordered a maxi board, which came with interesting yummy meats such as wild boar mortadella and raw sausage. As an American, the raw sausage was intimidating but delicious and can confirm I am feeling just fine. We also tried a sandwich (#5). Everything was so good, bread was fresh as well. You can either eat in their small counter inside or outside. The guys here are hilarious and nice. Great little lunch spot to check out!

    Perfect place to pick up a cheap, quick and delicious sandwich on the way to the Torre di Pisa. You can either stop in and eat here (though it may be a bit crowded) or you can grab a sandwich to go and sit on the grass by the tower and entertain yourself while people are posing for pics. Got the porchetta and the spicy salami which were both solid picks. The spicy salami was on par with the famed All'antico Vinaio and their porchetta was something out of this world. Not too fatty, but not dry either. The bread was crisp and fresh. They are very tourist friendly and are in a prime location if you're just stopping by Pisa for the day and coming by train. Be warned, you may end up going back for seconds. And thirds.

    Tiny place with 4-5 small tables but the sandwiches are amazing

    Found this amazing sandwich shop wandering the streets on a rainy day in Pisa (actually my wife found it on trip advisor but saying we found it wandering the streets sounds a lot cooler lol). So far the best sandwich I've had during my time in Italy. It was a simple sandwich made with a few slices of salami, cheese, olive oil and pesto spread. The bread is baked fresh daily and it was one of the best sandwiches I've had in my life. The place is tiny and more like a deli than a restaurant (4-5 tables and maybe 10-12 people max) but if you are looking for a amazing sandwich this is the spot. If you are lucky enough to grab a table, the sandwich is served on a cutting board and there is self serve wine bottles all along the walls (i.e. you serve yourself a glass and pay later). You can also grab a sandwich to go and have a picnic at the leaning tower. They also have a English menu which is a big plus.

    perfect place for a cheap and filling meal. We didn't realize how large the sandwiches were and decided to get three sandwiches for two people. I don't know what we were thinking but we only finished a sandwich and a half! Buy some sandwiches and then have a picnic by the leaning tower! The porchetta was okay. I felt like we got drier parts of the meat making it more difficult to eat. The raw sausage was out of this world. I know that may sound kinda gross like can we really eat that? will i get sick? but I had a bite of my friend's sandwich and I didn't really want to give it back. It was so delicious and not something I've seen in other places. The bread was kind of too hard for my taste. It was the kind where after a few bite you feel like the top of your gums start hurting. But that may just be personal preference.

    Now this is what I call lunch!

    LOVE IT!!! Best breakfast ever! Tiny place, but you don t have to sit there to eat, just ask for a sandwich/panini to go. They also got self service on the wine :p This is a must when staying in Pisa.

    Ordered what I thought was "E" but apparently it is A, B, C, D, "K" here ...  guy passed me the glasses behind the counter ... lol!

    Nothing to write home about, sammies as they look, kinda dry, kinda salty, get you in and out ... it's the kinda dry that leaves the roof of your mouth all shredded up! Tried the horse meat special 1 - looked like Saffron or meat noodles ... if I come here again it's McDonald's at the gate to Pisa for me ...

    The place is small, but that is part of the charm. This place rocks. Both in terms of concept, service and food. Choose between a well-curated list of different Italian sandwiches (panini) filled with different meats and vegetables or go with one of their plates. The plates consists of different Italian charcuteries and cheeses. It really is heaven.

    This is by far the best sandwich shop I ever eaten at. This is pork and everything else pork! I ordered a sample platter. My favorite was the raw cured pork something I never thought of having. It was delicious! It was the best bite of pork I ever had. The owners are very welcoming, they have 1 english menu. They do not take credit card.

    See all

    This is a gem of a place. Very authentic and was the highlight of our stop in Pisa. The panini with mushrooms and truffle oil was superb!
