    Delicious food and such an amazing staff! We told the waitress that our friend had her birthday and they served us heart-shaped pizzas! I ordered tagliatelle with seafood and it was so far the best tagliatelle with seafood that I’ve had all over the world, especially mule were prepared to the point of perfection, not gooey, just perfect!

    When you hear more Italian than English from the patrons, you know you're in a good pizza place. Everything was incredible. If you have room for it, try the Tris di Montanare as a starter. It's basically a pizza doughnut and you will be blown away. By far and away, the best pizza in Florence.

    Absolutely amazing food, my hubby and I were craving pizza and pasta and are so glad we held out for this restaurant! They were really busy on Sunday night (which is a great sign) and we arrived with no reservation, however they got us seated within 20 mins and the food came out extremely fast. We loved every dish, especially the bruschetta! The pizza is amazing as well and everything tastes high quality. Highly recommend!

    The space is small but not stuffy or uncomfortable. (You can see the chef making the pizzas). The service is quick and friendly. The food is delicious. Highly recommend the truffle pizza and the octopus with potatoes and artichokes. The price is very good too. Overall, a 10/10

    You want great pizza ? Go absolutely to Pizzaiuolo. Such a lovely restaurant, really typical. Difficult to find some good pizzerias in Firenze as there are a lot of touristic restaurants, but this is definitely not a touristic one. Make sure you arrive early, restaurant is quite popular !

    Best pizza in Florence, in my opinion. Just great fast food, tasty and easy. The mozzarella Di baffelo was extraordinary. Worth the walk, even if you are not close.

    Tasty neopolitan pizza. The crust has great flavour, can tell it has been fermented for a good amount of time. The cook on the crust was good, but the bottom was a bit pale - could’ve had more colour. This place gets very busy, so expect a wait.

    If you are visiting Florence, make sure you visit Il Pizzaiuolo. We started with fried pizzas that came with three distinct dressings - all of them very pleasant. We then shared a margharita pizza, which was so flavourful! All of this was very filling. We then finished our dinner with a delicious cheesecake. The waiter was extremely helpful and cordial, and we were served very quickly. The ambience of this place was amazing. Our favourite gastronomic experience in Florence!

    Fantastic wood oven pizza. Great staff; we love Simone, our favorite server. Warm and welcoming atmosphere. We come here every time we are in Florence .. at least twice!

    We ate here twice. Food is fabulous! Their meatballs are phenomenal! The atmosphere is very local and friendly. Had fun with Slavash who looks like Frank Zappa! So glad we found this little gem!

    Best pizza I’ve ever had! The service was the worst I had in Italy though… We asked about 5 different people for the bill and it took an hour before one of them brought it. We also ordered the arugula salad and the waitress brought us a bowl of romaine lettuce.

  • 5/5 Jana J. 1 year ago on Google
    Very nice food for very reasonable prices. Very great service. We couldn't eat all our food, so we got lunch boxes and bag to take it home. The restaurant is pretty, you can watch cooks making the pizza and it's placed fairly close to main piazza (Square).

  • 5/5 Nicholas K. 7 months ago on Google
    This is without doubt the best pizza I’ve ever tasted. Forget the rest, this is hands down the best restaurant in Florence. And as for the service, super friendly. We talked to the owners and what a lovely couple. We were all shocked at how good it was, just look at my daughters’ faces. Oh, and the tiramisu is to die for.

  • 5/5 Bin B. 9 months ago on Google
    This little unassuming restaurant tucked away from the main touristy areas is worth seeking out. Reasonably priced with lovely tasty simple food, really nice staff and a good atmosphere. Seating inside is a little 'snug' but it was so good we went twice.

  • 5/5 Wensty Y. 8 months ago on Google
    My boyfriend and I didn’t have reservations but they still made time for us. We didn’t wait but a few minutes and they had us seated with menus and waters. I had the house white wine and it was delicious! We also got a margarita pizza to share and each picked a pasta. I would share what pasta we got but I can’t remember now…although I’m fairly certain you could close your eyes and point to something on the menu and it would be one of the best meals you’ve ever had!The portions were perfect and prices were reasonable and the service was fast and friendly!!! We will definitely return in the future and highly recommend you try this place out!! Also, maybe make reservations it was packed and I am so grateful they could fit us in!!!

    Great pizza and would come back for it. Service was abrupt and he forgot to bring olive oil and water after we asked for it. The pizza was delicious though.

  • 4/5 Modern I. 1 year ago on Google
    Very good pizza. Nicely welcomed. Served rapidly. Nice coffee also. Just 4 stars because they didnt had the cheese cake i wanted. But all the rest was perfect. Strongly advises this place 😊.

  • 5/5 Celmari B. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing delicious pizza! This was a recommendation from our airbnb host and it was worth it! We just had to wait around 10 minutes to have a table for 4. We had the parmigianna, the rosé and the fried pizza, the last 2 were absolutely memorable.

  • 5/5 T H. 1 year ago on Google
    Incredible pizza with a true authentic Italian feel. The staff were impeccable from start to finish. Great value at €31 for 2 pizza and 2 beers. Service charge at €2 per person just a watch out but we'll worth it. Highly recommend to anyone wanting pizza in Florence
