If only there were a positive correlation between staff friendliness and pizza scrumptiousness, La Lanterna would most probably be the highest-voted pizzeria in Florence! It's one of those places where you really do feel like you're eating at a friend's house. The TV was on, everyone was laughing together, and our waiter made his way around to all the tables for a chat; he told me about his trip to New York and asked what it's like in Missouri, and he and Fabio talked about soccer and his family's hotdog stand. I wish I had as much to say about the pizza, but...I ordered the Stracco: stracchino, sausage and mozzarella atop tomato sauce. It was a thin-crusted pizza, burnt around the edges with not much sausage, nothing exciting or out-of-this-world delicious. It was a typical frozen-pizza night with the fam.

FABIO: 5.5/10
Siamo arrivati al rovesciamento del concetto di pizza: è così sottile che, avendo preso una capricciosa, sembrava di mangiare un piatto di verdure con un pò di pasta come accompagnamento. Onestamente arrivare fino a Scandicci per avere questa novità gastronomica non è che sia il massimo, a meno che uno sia amante del genere; da questo punto di vista potrebbe anche piacere, perchè la qualità degli ingredienti non è male, i prezzi sono bassi e il personale molto
gentile. Purtroppo appartengo all'altro genere.
