Came here spontaneously (2 pers), it was crowded and there was already a family waiting in line. We were seated in just two minutes. Service was as fast as they could be, super friendly and welcoming. Pizza is super delicious, tiramisu as well. Homemade IPA amazing! Bruschetta could use a little more flavor but that might just be my personal taste :)

Creative and absolutely delicious! We’ve been regulars here for years, and this place has never let us down — but this time, they truly outdid themselves! The new pizza Dorothy made with eggplant paste instead of tomato sauce is a brilliant idea. It’s bold, creative, and the flavor is incredible. The paste is smooth, well-seasoned, and pairs beautifully with the toppings. You can really tell there’s passion and creativity behind the kitchen. It’s exciting to see even long-time favorites evolve with such thoughtful twists. We’re already looking forward to our next visit!

Truly the best pizza we’ve ever eaten in our lives! You might read this and think, sure… but it really was. They were packed and still got a table within 5-10mins and service was fantastic, helpful and friendly. Pizza and ingredients were incredible, and we got lucky and had a table outside in a little narrow alley. Just beautiful. PS. Etna pizza was 10/10.

We had pizza here twice in a row and considering that we only stayed in Moneglia two nights, this should say it all. Probably up with the best pizza I have had on this trip to Italy, the staff is great too, even though they were fully booked on the first night, the owner went out of his way to get us seated after a very short wait. The variety on the menu was impressive also, starts off with simple version just with olive oil , to the works, all reflected very reasonably in the price structure.

The best pizza place in Moneglia! During my trip to Italy, I visited this pizzeria and it was absolutely unforgettable. The pizza was simply perfect — the crust was thin, crispy, and slightly chewy, just the way authentic Italian pizza should be. The ingredients were incredibly fresh. Highly recommend, this place has the soul

Perfect taste, perfect dough! I saw this top rated pizzeria on Google and found a table with the help of the waiter. If you are in Moneglia you must try it.
