A reliable pizza place

Noteworthy for: It has almost 100 pizzas on the menu, ranging from the traditional Margherita and Quatro formaggi to the more unusual Brie and Nuts.

Popular plate: Those who like it hot should try the Mangiafuoco (Fire-eater) with spicy salami, Calabrese peppers and Tabasco sauce.

This American-style pizzeria, with wooden beams and booths decorated with classic 1950s advertising signs, is always packed – inside and out – for its enormous range of wood-oven pizzas at great prices, as well as the view over the water.

There’s another branch in Santa Croce but the Zattere location is sufficiently off the tourist trail to be populated by a mixed crowd of locals and visitors, workers and students, young and old. And if you don’t have time to linger, you can take one away with you.
