What everybody agrees on
Read across public reviews on Google, TripAdvisor and travel forums in September 2026.
- Nearly all
Value is the point. It is among the cheapest proper pizzas in the centre and people say so repeatedly.
- Most
The queue forms early and moves fast. Nobody describes it as a problem, only as a fact.
- Most
Eating it on the steps of Santo Spirito is how most people do it, and it is half the reason to go.
- Often
The base is Neapolitan style, soft rather than crisp, which divides people used to Roman pizza.
- Some
Seating inside is minimal and the room is loud.
What to order
A margherita, taken away, eaten on the church steps with something from Volume across the square. That combination costs very little and is one of the better evenings in Florence.
Before you go
- Getting there
- Via Maggio side of Piazza Santo Spirito, ten minutes west of Ponte Vecchio.
- Best time
- Before eight, or after nine thirty.
- Paying
- Cash is easiest.
Not the best pizza in Florence and it does not pretend to be. It is the one that made the square what it is on a summer evening: a queue out of the door from half past seven, a paper box, and a hundred people on the church steps. Takeaway is the point. Closed one day a week.
