The brightness of the sauce to the flavor of the crust is magical! I ate at over 20 pizza places in Rome and Florence. All I could dream about was the pizza here.

“ Best pizza in town!! Wish I could pick a favorite, but I can't they're all good. They're a small place & often busy - if you have to wait, be patient & order a soda or beer or hard kombucha, sit back & enjoy the people watching...good things come to those who wait. ”
