Il Pizzaiolo

" This pizzeria offers an authentic Italian dining experience, where the essence of traditional Neapolitan pizza is at the forefront. Upon entering, guests are greeted by the warm, rustic ambiance that echoes the charm of a classic Italian eatery, complete with brick walls, wooden furniture, and the inviting aroma of fresh dough and herbs wafting from the kitchen. The centerpiece of the establishment is a magnificent wood-fired oven, where pizzas are baked to perfection. The pizzas here are a true testament to Italian craftsmanship, with a thin, crispy crust that's slightly charred on the edges, topped with a selection of the finest ingredients. From the simplicity of a Margherita, made with San Marzano tomatoes, mozzarella di bufala, fresh basil, and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, to more elaborate creations featuring gourmet toppings like prosciutto, truffle oil, and arugula, every pizza is a work of art. In addition to their renowned pizzas, the menu offers a variety of other Italian delicacies. Guests can indulge in freshly made pasta dishes, from rich and creamy carbonara to hearty Bolognese, all made with traditional recipes and high-quality ingredients. The antipasti selection is equally enticing, featuring options like bruschetta, caprese salad, and a variety of cured meats and cheeses. The dessert menu is a delightful conclusion to any meal, with classic Italian sweets like tiramisu, panna cotta, and gelato, each crafted with the same attention to detail as the rest of the offerings. To complement the meal, the pizzeria also boasts an impressive selection of Italian wines and artisanal beers, carefully chosen to pair perfectly with the flavors of the dishes."

"Located at the base of Clerigos Church and around the corner from Lello bookstore. I would consider this a mid-range priced Italian restaurant with many options and great service. If you are craving a good pizza with quality toppings, this place fits the bill! ⭐️ Tip: Pasta dishes are only available during dinner service, which typically starts around 7:00. ⭐️ Tip: weekends are busy; reservations for dinner encouraged.
