Les pizzas à emporter sont très bonnes L'accueil a été aimable

Eine unglaublich rustikale Pizzeria im Herzen eines kleinen italienischen Örtchens. Den Laden als Tourist ohne Google Maps zu finden oder zufällig daran vorbei zu laufen, ist nahezu ausgeschlossen. Das Ding ist wohl ein Geheimtipp für Einheimische und von denen lebt der gute Herr vermutlich auch. Man sollte sich vom äußeren Eindruck nicht verunsichern lassen, das Gebäude und auch der Laden selber haben definitiv schon bessere Zeiten gesehen, aber hier backt ein schon etwas betagter Uritaliener, wie er im Buche steht, auf traditionelle Weise noch Pizza. Nur ein Mann, sein Pizza-Ofen und sein Tresen. Kein Schickimicki, kein überzogenes Marketing oder sonst was, sondern einfach schlicht, rustikal, typisch italienisch. Die Pizza ist trotzdem super, man sollte sie aber mit heim nehmen, denn es gibt nur einen kleinen Tisch mit 3 Stühlen und der ist vermutlich den Stammtisch-Italienern aus dem Dorf vorbehalten. Das ist kein Laden zum Verweilen. Soweit ich es gesehen habe, gibt's hier auch keine Getränke. Auch die Parkplatzsituation kann man getrost vergessen, denn der Laden ist in einer kleinen, italienischen Gasse, ohne irgendwelche Park- oder Stellplatzmöglichkeiten. Dennoch bekommt die Pizzaria von mir eine sehr gute Bewertung, denn genauso stelle ich mir den klassischen, italienischen Pizzabäcker vor. Daumen hoch für dieses kleine, italienische Schmankerl.

The lady at the counter is really kind,helpful, and speaks very good English. The Pizza speaks for itself.
