American pizza and Italian pizza are hardly comparable; sharing a name, at times, is almost ridiculous. That doesn't mean that I don't like American pizza, that ALL American pizza is bad. Just like, Italian pizza isn't ALL good. Strangely enough, the pizza at L'Orto del Cigno is a fairly good example of bad American AND Italian pizza. The Italian individual pizza doesn't exist here. The smallest pizza - with its American "bigger-means-better" size - feeds 3 people. We ordered the Margherita at 13 euro, even if you can request different halves like in the States. The pizza came American-sliced, and I think we left three and a half pieces on the pan. It was impossible to finish, not only because it was huge, but because it just wasn't good. It wasn't terrible, but it was reminiscent of mall pizza, maybe it wasn't even that satisfying! More precisely, this pizza is perfect for a group of teenagers who want to eat-out, not spend too much, and who really don't care about what they're eating as long as they're getting full. The pizzeria claims a thick crust, but as you can see from the photo - it wasn't. And the mozzarella...I don't really want to talk about it. My stomach still hurts...

FABIO: 4/10
Difficile descrivere un qualcosa di cui si ha un giudizio estremamente negativo, è anche ingeneroso. Imbarazzante non trovare punti positivi, ma eravamo in due e abbiamo dovuto ordinare una mega pizza da tre persone, minima grandezza disponibile. Infatti non siamo riusciti a finirla, anche perchè il sapore è tipo le pizze che si mangiano all'estero quando disperati dalla cucina del posto si entra scettici, ma affamati, in una pizzeria dal nome italiano storpiato. Quel sapore stantio, che viene il dubbio che sia mozzarella e non un altro tipo di formaggio. Forse solo la pasta è passabile. Il pomodoro, molto poco, sa di scatola. Va bè, non inferiamo.
