I was put-off at the door when I realized my outfit wasn't smart enough for the ambience. Like I've said a billion times, if jeans aren't good enough, it ain't my type of pizzeria. They tried to hide us at an upstairs table where I was happy to see there were others of us in sweatshirts. My eyes were almost watering with the smell of fish (which a friend of mine says is pretty tasty here), and I didn't seem to mind it as much as I normally would. The Mediterranean diet must finally be managing to take its hold! Anyway, we got some fizzy water and I ordered the Del conte: mozzarella, gorgonzola, walnuts and eggplant. My only explanation here is that I knew Fabio wouldn't let us order dessert, so I got it on my main course instead! And it was good, despite some burnt spots and the fact that it was below the average circumference I'm used to. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to my "white pizza" loving friends, you know who you are (AKA Tanya).

Locale sull'elegante, quindi definibile bello o brutto a seconda dei gusti, propone una pizza che, in base allo stile del ristorante, si presenta molto bene, con una crosta rotondeggiante, stile alto e colori vivaci di pomodoro e mozzarella, almeno per la mia margherita. Quello che conta, però, è il sapore e qui devo dire che ne ho sentito poco; infatti, pur essendo discreta, sembrava che tutto fosse attenuato, mentre l'ideale è sentire un gusto deciso, ma soprattutto fresco, degli ingredienti. E' proprio vero che tutto ciò che luccica non è oro e che dal letame nascon...oh no, che schifo, scusate!

Pizzeria Totò is located in one of my favorite busy little squares, in the middle of the cramped streets of the center CENTER, conveniently next to my friend's King Grizzly Pub - which on lucky nights has an unbeatable, out-of-this-world raspberry beer on tap! And who doesn't love a raspberry beer every now and again, and who, more importantly, doesn't love Totò (Italian comedian nicknamed "The Prince of Laughter")?! We Americans just don't have anyone to compare him to, which is quite unexpected seeing as how so many of us, sometimes jokingly, believe that WE DO have the best specimen in practically every conceivable category...but not this one, not even with Buster Keaton and Charlie Chaplin (ok, he was English, but he worked in the States!) up for grabs! And it could also be argued that in the pizza department, we can't even begin to hold a candle to the Italian version, but...the pizza at Totò: You can order by the slice or by the pizza. Fabio and I chose two margheritas (one with bufala) and planted ourselves on two of the, I guess, seven stools of the wall-facing bar. I liked the crust, thick and crunchy and startlingly not soggy given the exaggerated amount of orangey tomato sauce. The mozzarella was good, tasty and plentiful. The main problems were the plastic cutlery which snapped on a mid-crust cut, causing the sauce pool to splash onto my currently most-treasured t-shirt "Get Me Outta My Missouri"...a disaster!, and then the predicable and boring 'when the pizza starts to cool it gradually becomes inedible.' I don't want to sound too harsh or unforgiving, because it really was a good pizza. Umberto Eco asked, "in this globalized universe where it seems that everybody's watching the same movies and eating the same food, there are still abysmal and overwhelming fractures separating one culture from another. How can two peoples, one of which unknowing of Totò, truly understand each other?" If you don't already know the man or the pizza, get yourself to Totò!

Nonostante mangiare circondato dalle foto del grande Totò sia di per sè un'emozione, ma anche una distrazione, la pizza che si mangia qui riporta subito alla realtà: in particolare il pomodoro, eccessivo e con un sapore troppo forte, che copre il sapore della mozzarella, che è o sembra insapore. La crosta è biscottata, per cui non può neanche ricevere la benedizione di Totò come vera pizza napoletana. Detto questo non è tra le peggiori a Firenze, siamo sulla sufficienza abbondante, però più rispetto per il principe!Appuntamento Pizzahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17421076331335086569noreply@blogger.com0Via Dante Alighieri, 28, 50122 Florence, Italy43.7709227 11.25634300000001543.7708777 11.256264000000016 43.7709677 11.256422000000015tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6046859309110655908.post-40995355589841827002013-07-09T23:00:00.000-07:002013-09-22T08:22:22.321-07:00Pizza Bike<div>

Our groupon was for an XXL pizza which we could divide into four different topping combinations. We chose: Pasticciata (tomato sauce, mozzarella, olives, peppers, hotdog, mushrooms and asparagus), Margherita, Porcini, and Capricciosa (without prosciutto). The crust was good, and they were generous with the cheese, but... even though asparagus was enough in season, it was obvious that the ones on our pizza were straight from the vinegar jar. In fact, all of the ingredients lacked in freshness. Then they brought a coffee at the end of the meal that had been sitting in the pot all day and was ice cold. Repulsive.

E' difficile anche commentare un tipo di pizza così, visto che ogni singolo elemento è mediocre, nè buono nè cattivo; in questo modo anche il giudizio sull'insieme lascia un senso di rassegnazione, di tristezza. Almeno se una pizza è proprio cattiva uno ci si accanisce, mentre qui no, è mangiabile, però...la pizza non è nè alta nè bassa, mozzarella e pomodoro sono al limite.Appuntamento Pizzahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17421076331335086569noreply@blogger.com0Via del Ponte alle Mosse, 127, 50144 Florence, Italy43.7832717 11.23315860000002418.2612372 -30.075435399999975 69.3053062 52.541752600000024tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6046859309110655908.post-51399482977292642422013-06-25T23:00:00.000-07:002013-09-22T08:18:32.366-07:00E Che Pizza<div>

My self-appointed job is to comment on the pizza, but I feel like this time around the whole presentation really needs to be considered. The groupon included some antipasti (which were so dried-out and burnt it was difficult to tell what type of appetizers they were, although I believe I detected a hotdogish meat in the middle of one of them, at least I hope that's what it was...) and a kind of sweet pastry for dessert with a terribly undercooked and doughy crust. After these examples of an obvious miscomprehension of both time and temperature, it should come as no surprise that the pizza crust was far from perfect, or even decent for that matter, and seemed to lack any sort of leavening agent at all. The crust was leaning on the thicker side, and the crunch (usually limited to the outer crust and the bottom of the pizza) was consistent throughout, more like a flattened breadstick than a pizza crust. That being said, the actual flavor wasn't so bad. It was just the strangeness of feeling like we weren't eating a pizza, but rather a large and crisp cracker with childish toppings for, perhaps, an elementary school birthday party...that you could easily chip a tooth on.

Pizza a domicilio, sembra di più una pizza fatta a domicilio, in casa. Però se uno fa la pizza in casa e non è un pizzaiolo si può capire che la base non venga soffice ma biscottata, ma almeno può provare a mettere ingredienti buoni. Qui no, solo i primi boccconi sono accettabili quando è calda.

My Capricciosa (without prosciutto) was rather amateur: thin to medium crust, cheap cheese, mushroom to other toppings ratio completely out of whack, and the whole thing just reminded me of something you might make in a home ec class. It wasn't gourmet, but it was edible, especially if accompanied by entertaining talk. A good and fun snack, but nothing I would really want to consider a meal. And somebody in the kitchen stole a couple of my bites of hotdog and artichoke!!

Alborada 'by any other name would be as nasty' and, in fact, when this same pizzeria used to be called Pantarei, the pizzas were equally as gross as they are today. My O'Sole Mio (without cherry tomatoes) was super thin and soggy, had an unbelievably exaggerated amount of tomato sauce, screamed in desperation for salt, and came out of the kitchen cold with still-hard porcini. <i>Che schifo</i>.

Ex-Pantarei, non ho capito la differenza del cambio di nome visto che sul menù c'è la pizza Pantarei. Quello che ho capito invece è che la pizza è peggiorata, visto che ai tempi di Pantarei avevo dato un giudizio molto positivo e qui invece siamo al limite della sufficienza. Pomodoro e mozzarella non di buona qualità come prima e pasta un pò gommosa. Però almeno hanno abbassato i prezzi visto che prima una margherita costava 7.50 e ora 6.

Two girlfriends of mine requested that we review Mr. Pizza, as they live nearby and go there often and were curious to see what we would think of it. They highly recommended the Quattro Formaggi and the Margherita with rocket/parmesan cheese. I found the crust to have a good consistency, but it lacked flavor. And such large and generous shavings of parmesan layered over an already mozzarella-drenched margherita just created a cheese overload for this self-diagnosed lactose intolerant. Thank god the rocket was able to cut the edge off, and I left feeling just a <i>wee</i> bit nauseous. I will say that the ingredients tasted fresh, even if they weren't of the highest quality. I liked the make-shift tables of circle-cut glass atop wooden barrels and how the whole front of the place is open to people-watching. It was a smidgen uncomfortable, though, how the over-accommodating Italian waitress insisted on speaking in English with Fabio. I saw that another Mr. Pizza is going in where the unsuccessful (big surprise) Ben & Jerry's was in Piazza Duomo. <i>I'm curious</i> to see how long it can make it there...

Caro Mr. Pizza, mi piace il tuo farci mangiare su delle botti con posate e bicchieri di plastica, così da creare un'atmosfera alla mano, anche se siamo in pieno centro di Firenze. Ma non posso ritrovarmi uno strato di formaggio unto che non so che mozzarella possa essere, tra l'altro anche troppo salato; e non puoi scrivere nel sito che è una pizza stile Napoli perchè la crosta è alta, perchè qui è troppo gommosa, invece dovrebbe essere leggera! Per cui trasformati in Signor Pizza e adeguati!Appuntamento Pizzahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17421076331335086569noreply@blogger.com2Via Pietrapiana, 82, 50121 Florence, Italy43.772205 11.26394959999993318.2501705 -30.044644400000067 69.2942395 52.57254359999993tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6046859309110655908.post-24442153388171807052013-03-26T23:00:00.000-07:002013-04-02T02:40:21.545-07:00Lupin Bistrot<div>

With his sleek black hair and ladies' man stance, Lupin looks, to me, like he belongs in an Archie comic as one of Veronica's bad-boy crushes. Instead, he's the main character in a Japanese manga series that has been popular in Italy (and I'm guessing elsewhere) for decades. Anyhoo, his image decorates the walls of this rather large pizzeria, which is, apparently, often crowded. It doesn't happen much that we're <i>surprised</i> with a good-looking, good-tasting pizza. If a pizza place is good, it has that reputation, and that reputation gets around. But, we hadn't heard much about Lupin Bistrot, and then finding a coupon for it didn't raise our hopes any that it would be much to talk about. On the contrary, the pizzas were both beautiful <i>and</i> tasty! My crust was burnt in some parts, but the porcini were flavorful and soft, and the mozzarella and tomato sauce were distributed in fair amounts. It's a pizza that you have to eat fast; it gets gross as it cools (and it tends to cool quicker when the workers leave the backdoor open while they're smoking!). <i>DO NOT</i>, under any circumstances, get the creme caramel for dessert.

È emozionante entrare in questo locale e trovarsi una gigantografia del faccione di Lupin...a parte questo la pizza è bassa, ingredienti appena sufficienti; il risultato non è che sia un granchè, mi è sembrata anche carente di sale. Il pomodoro e la mozzarella non hanno un sapore di prima qualità. Invece i porcini sono sopra la media delle altre pizzerie di questo livello. Insomma, a parte Lupin, niente di nuovo.Appuntamento Pizzahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17421076331335086569noreply@blogger.com0Via Circondaria, 36, 50127 Florence, Italy43.7894039 11.23981830000002443.7893589 11.239739300000025 43.789448900000004 11.239897300000024tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6046859309110655908.post-3999674065131460342013-03-19T23:00:00.000-07:002013-04-02T02:35:32.657-07:00Fuori Piazza<div>

"Why diminish your soul being run-of-the-mill at something?...Mediocrity's a hairball coughed up on the Persian carpet of Creation." As a person who stops eating at the sight of a loose hair anywhere near the dining area, I especially appreciate this snippet from <i>Half Asleep in Frog Pajamas</i> by Tom Robbins. It pretty much sums up how I feel about the pizza at Fuori Piazza. It's not good, it's not bad...so why bother? And then there was an eyelash camping-out on one of my artichokes...

È difficile dare un giudizio su pizze di questo tipo: si presenta sul piatto un qualcosa bello a vedersi, tutto sembra al punto giusto, i colori sono della giusta tonalità; però poi, una volta che entrano in gioco solo le papille gustative, nel buio della bocca, il tutto si riduce a un sapore striminzito, poco corposo, che lascia insoddisfatti. Per carità, la pizza non è cattiva, è bassa, e mozzarella e pomodoro sono discreti, ma non ti fanno alzare da tavola soddisfatto.Appuntamento Pizzahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17421076331335086569noreply@blogger.com0Via Vincenzo Gioberti, 46, 50136 Florence, Italy43.7701222 11.2765770999999443.7700772 11.276498099999941 43.7701672 11.27665609999994tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6046859309110655908.post-71112596754473530602013-03-12T23:00:00.000-07:002013-03-18T11:39:11.075-07:00Aviazione Campo di Marte<div>

Inside the fenced-in area with the Costoli pool and the more exclusive Piscina Costolina (which, BTW, breeds the same bacterial infections as the public option and has unarguably more hair on the locker room floor), is the bar/restaurant Aviazione. It gives off a young and strong sports bar vibe and has the biggest screen outside of a movie theatre that I've ever seen. Our Groupon coupon was for a Maxi Pizza (for two people), two beers (which we switched-out for Cokes), dessert and coffee. There weren't many pizzas to choose from, but they didn't have any problems with our off-menu potatoes and mushrooms combo selection - which we requested to top the "white" portion of our pizza. The Margherita was gross: the flavor of the tomato sauce was too strong and the cheese was just nasty. It's the pizza you expect to find at the pool; sweaty, sleepy kids usually aren't very pizza-picky. I could eat another potato/mushroom pizza, though, especially if I were there watching a Fiorentina match. Forza Viola!

Ambiente giovane, con un mega schermo per le partite e menù molto americano. Le pizze sono portate al metro, non al piatto, su dei taglieri, con la possibilità di scegliere più gusti. Avete indovinato, sono tutte caratteristiche per una pizza di bassa qualità. Infatti è la classica pizza da mangiare al volo, non da gustare: mozzarella e pomodoro non sono buoni, soprattutto quando iniziano a non essere più caldi. Anche la pasta diventa subito gommosa. Però in quest'ambiente si mangia più volentieri, in qualche modo ci si aspetta.Appuntamento Pizzahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17421076331335086569noreply@blogger.com0Viale Malta, 50137 Florence, Italy43.7760338 11.28152090000003243.7731673 11.276478400000032 43.778900300000004 11.286563400000032tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6046859309110655908.post-15697900827612119992013-02-19T23:00:00.000-08:002013-03-11T12:12:46.237-07:00La Bisboccia<div>

La Bisboccia - what a great name for a pizzeria! It's fun to say, <i>and</i> its meaning is happy: revelry, merrymaking, spree. The building and the staff both seem to be perfectly suited to bisbocci-ery too, if I'm allowed the artistic license to say so (and I think I am, seeing as how <i>I'm</i> the one who grants them around here!) Yes, I think the combination of bisboccia and debauchery (minus any negative connotations) is exactly what exudes from the cramped downstairs dining room and the plump and cheery older woman who waits the tables...and even from my Vegetariana (mozzarella, zucchini, eggplant, artichokes, olives) with its festive handful of corn thrown on top. That's right, corn on a pizza! That's the pure definition of bisboccia if you ask me. Now, I only had a coke with my pizza, and I think a beer might have been more appropriate...then maybe I wouldn't have been paying as much attention to what I was eating: undercooked crust, thin slices of eggplant that tasted strangely of rotting meat, and an unfortunate long blond hair that decided to take a dip in the tomato sauce and then stick to the side of my knife. Ekkk!

La base di questa pizza è uno strato gommoso non proprio invitante, soprattutto quando non è più calda. Gli ingredienti sopra sono così e così, però peggiorati da un pomodoro da un sapore troppo forte.

Unlike some chain pizzerias in Florence (cough-cough, Pizza Man), Da Tito provides a predictable (and to continue the alliteration, perfectly palatable and powerfully pleasing) pizza in each of its locations, <i>every</i> time. I know I sound like a spokesperson (paid under the table, obviously!, we're in Italy), but I ate the same super fantastic, incredibly yummy pizza here at I Peccati di Gola that I had at Sesto Girone and I Setti Peccati several months or even a couple of years ago. I always get the Boscaiola (mozzarella, porcini, sausage, olives, oregano), but there are tons of pizzas I would like to try; the pizza menu is just plain ginormous. It's a pizzeria for lovers of huge, thin-and-crunchy crust pizzas with flavorful, quality ingredients.

Tito è il paradiso della pizza super fine, con paginate di menù piene di scelta. La pasta in sè è buona, è già qualcosa, anche se è come non ci fosse da quanto è sottile. Però mi sarei aspettato ingredienti più buoni visto che predominano solo quelli! E invece sono abbastanza insapori.

Like Aqaba (a previously-reviewed pizzeria also located in Sesto), Ulivo Rosso should be frequented only in pleasant weather, weather suitable for dining out-of-doors. I give this advice with the expectation that the enjoyable surroundings will boost one's mood into granting a generous judgment of this rather mediocre pizza. My pizza made its exit from the kitchen with an orangey cheese/tomato combo sauce (that prefigures post-eaten pizza imagery), some bites of super soft and flavorful porcini, and a fresh and crunchy crust that lacked any notable taste. If that same pizza could have made its way onto the terrace and could have converted the rainy evening into a breezy summer one, I know at least I could have been distracted into giving Ulivo Rosso an extra point or two.

Attenzione attenzione, oggetto alieno si aggira su Sesto Fiorentino, esattamente all'Ulivo Rosso! Credevo di aver ordinato una pizza e invece mi si è presentato qualcosa mai assaggiato: la base mi ha ricordato una schiacciata, con la stessa consistenza e sapore. Sopra una specie di salsa, che nelle intenzioni avrebbe dovuto essere, credo, mozzarella e pomodoro, fusi in un ingrediente unico dai colori strani. Quindi se la considero come pizza il voto è basso, anche se non cattiva, ma vista come un'altra cosa non bene identificata potrebbe avere il suo perchè.Appuntamento Pizzahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17421076331335086569noreply@blogger.com0Via delle Catese, 50019 Le Catese Province of Florence, Italy43.853036 11.21489599999995343.850173500000004 11.209853499999953 43.8558985 11.219938499999953tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6046859309110655908.post-62525404069709242822013-01-22T23:00:00.000-08:002013-03-11T12:13:16.325-07:00Rosso Pachino<div>

I sort of really adore this semi-pedestrian part of Sesto. I may be crazy, but it has a local Italian charm that I feel is missing in most of central Florence. Rosso Pachino is a small, two-roomed pizzeria with choices of individual or group pizzas. I decided on the Capricciosa (without prosciutto cotto), and maybe it was the oregano, but it was one of the best smelling pizzas <i>ever</i>. The crust was thin, crunchy at the crust and so-super-thin under the toppings that it almost dissolved under them...but it was yummy like that. The olives and mushrooms were as you would expect, but the hotdog pieces were cut in oxymoronically, elegantly fine slices...and I found them most appealing! As often happens with pizzas, the first half was the better half, so maybe it should be shared; the desserts looked good!

In genere si sa che la pizza è buona appena sfornata e dopo peggiora, ma di solito è un qualcosa di graduale e non così evidente. Qui invece è stato incredibile: all'inizio avrei dato un voto altissimo, perchè pur essendo una pizza bassa è molto soffice e con ingredienti all'altezza. Poi, a un certo punto, forse quando è scesa sotto il grado X, è diventata immangiabile, ma ero ancora a metà! La pasta è diventata gommosa, mozzarella e pomodoro hanno preso sapori variopinti. Quindi bene essere molto veloci! A meno che sia l'arrivare a metà che crea processi chimici o psicologici strani.

The set-up at La Tortuga is reminiscent of, and just about as appetizing as, a nursing home dining hall: clinical but welcoming, perhaps promising quantity but certainly not quality; I almost expected to be waited on by a hairnet and plastic gloves. There were quite a number of diners, and the large TV was going, but it wasn't enough to convince me that the pizza had a chance of being decent. I ordered the Regina (mozzarella, porcini mushrooms, gorgonzola). It came out looking like a clogged-up kitchen sink, but the flavor was absolutely delicious! About 3/4 of the way in, the powerful gorgonzola began to be a bit much, but I carried on for the softness of the porcini and the crunchiness of the crust.

Pizza da 6, nè più nè meno. È del tipo basso, con crosta biscottata, pomodoro e mozzarella senza infamia e senza lode. Tutto ciò in contrasto con quello che evoca il nome Tortuga, isola dei Cairaibi, resa famosa da Salgari nei suoi romanzi in particolare per il Corsaro Nero! Forse anche per la pizza si deve lavorare di fantasia?Appuntamento Pizzahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17421076331335086569noreply@blogger.com0Via del Ponte alle Mosse, 195, 50144 Florence, Italy43.78436050000001 11.2313150999999643.78431550000001 11.231236099999961 43.78440550000001 11.23139409999996tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6046859309110655908.post-90652560687616546672013-01-08T23:00:00.000-08:002013-09-22T04:41:23.098-07:00I Tarocchi<div>

I like I Tarocchi for its long, wooden booths and how each one has a character of the tarot deck at its head. We were seated at the <i>papessa</i> (female pope/priestess) table, and were quickly served a basket of soft, warm pieces of salty schiacciata. We ordered two Quattro Stagionis without prosciutto. Mine had a generous handful of whole black olives and lots of mushrooms, but the best part was the ginormous slices of artichoke hearts (compared to the usual speck of leaf parts). The crust was moderately thick, and rather crunchy. The mozzarella was of above-mediocre quality. There was too much tomato sauce, but the flavor was good. Overall, not too bad, but I'd go back more for the cute waiter than for the pizza.

Una delle pizze più belle a vedersi di sempre! (Anche se) è di tipo basso, una bella mozzarella bianca, un bel pomodoro rosso e verdure vivaci sopra. Poi si va a mangiare e: mozzarella poco saporita, pomodoro in eccesso di un sapore troppo forte e verdure discutibili. Il disastro poi quando la pizza ha iniziato a freddarsi. Forse esagero, non è così cattiva, ma non così buona come si presenta, insomma, per essere originali, è un Tarocco!Appuntamento Pizzahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17421076331335086569noreply@blogger.com0Via dei Renai, 12, 50125 Florence, Italy43.7651725 11.25856989999999843.7651275 11.258490899999998 43.7652175 11.258648899999997tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6046859309110655908.post-40003415953972860702013-01-01T22:30:00.000-08:002013-03-11T12:13:41.919-07:00La Divina Pizza<div>

La Divina Pizza brags about their stone-ground flour and natural yeast, that it makes for better and more comfortable digestion (a bodily function, you'll learn, that Italians are all-too-eager to chat about). My boss brags about them as well. She gets their pre-made, but uncooked pizzas to eat at home. It's true that you can taste the difference in the ingredients: the crust was light, crunchy and the flavor not unlike cardboard. The layer of cheese with little brown bubbles begged me to ask Fabio if we weren't really at Pizza Hut (but I think I prefer the greasy cheese of Pizza Hut to this lame excuse for mozzarella!). I admit that the beginning stages of digestion seemed to start on a good note. I finished my entire pizza without feeling like I was stuffing myself to the brim. I didn't have the unsettling nausea I often have after eating pizza. I didn't wake in the middle of the night with a diabetic thirst...but that was because I WAS ALREADY AWAKE! I was awake the whole night with lightning strikes of stomach pangs, and when I wasn't awake, I was having the most disturbing and vividly graphic of nightmares. Of course I'm not attempting to blame the pizza, I'm certain it was only a coincidence, as I've heard great reviews about this place, and not just from my boss. However, that doesn't erase the experience my <i>friend</i> had of excruciating post-Divina bloating, her stomach an overblown balloon yearning for short bursts of noisy release, or better, a loud, airborne zip around the room to completely deflate. I'm sure I'm not speaking just for myself when I say, La Divina Pizza did not make me feel ANYTHING like a goddess as I squirmed on my bed during the wee hours of the morn.

Hai voglia a puntare tutto sul fatto che qui la pasta è facilmente digeribile, ma anche il sapore vuole la sua parte! In effetti non lascia il senso di pesantezza di altre pizze, però la crosta risulta un pò secca e di un sapore per me non adatto. Il vero problema però sono gli altri ingredienti: la mozzarella proprio non mi è piaciuta, già dal colore, e il pomodoro rimane in secondo piano. Va a finire che per evitare il problema della digeribilità fanno passare la voglia di pizza!

This pizzeria is located inside a mansion at the end of a gravel road. I imagine that in summertime, with candlelit tables encircling the fountain out front, it is a truly magical and romantic place to dine. And HERE our paradisaical moment is interrupted by a prolonged scratching of a record, time pauses, and I ask myself if that is, indeed, my ideal 'appuntamento pizza', and the answer, I think, is no. (My personal opinion dictates pizza is best enjoyed in a pub-like atmosphere.) Time fast-forwards and we're eating our less-than-luxurious pizzas, burnt crusts and all, and I feel like the meal just isn't quite up to par. (I'm certainly not suggesting that the flavor and the quality of a pizza in any way correlates with the level of an eatery's elegance...but IF I were to measure my pizza assessment in this way, I would obviously give the higher score to the pizzeria whose pizzas outshine the pizzeria itself...and so, Aqaba would be an incontestable failure.) The mozzarella (almost indecipherable in the tomato/cheese 2-in-1 topping) is sparse and disappointing. I can see how people could be tricked by such surroundings, but this pizza doesn't fool the experts.

Da come me ne hanno parlato e avendo visto il loro sito, ci sono arrivato addirittura con un pò di soggezione; il locale in effetti è situato in un parco e da fuori ha il suo fascino, ma dentro è come tanti altri. In effetti la pizza si differenzia: è sotto la media! Non è buona: la crosta è bassa e secca, la mozzarella quasi invisibile non sa di niente. Il pomodoro, per fortuna, è accettabile, se no la pizza sarebbe immangiabile essendo troppo e per di più troppo salato. Ora capisco perchè, nonostante sia considerato un posto di lusso, i prezzi, almeno per le pizze, non sono così alti.

Not wanting to be hasty, my judgement almost certainly clouded (even so, not erroneously) by a midnight, post-Radiohead concert craving my first time at Gherardo's, I waited for a follow-up visit to make any sort of official proclamation. And here it is: in one of my most-loved neighborhoods of Florence, in a dimly-lighted pizzeria just a little bit larger than an ATAF autobus, and often times more packed, at a table made by a piece of wood jutting out from a stone wall, just barely big enough for two <i>(insert drum roll)</i>, you can eat a fantastically yummy pizza. My Contadino (tomato sauce, mozzarella, sausage, mushrooms, onions and basil) was...perfect: delicious and generous amounts of mozzarella, mushrooms and onions tender and flavorful, bite-sized pieces of tasty, pink sausage, and a sweet and crunchy crust. Crowded and hot, between tables of lovers and all-male groups of beer guzzlers, it's an intimate, scrumptious moment in pizza-eating to be shared with your crush, your ex even, your best friend.

Mezzo punto in più per l'atmosfera artistica che si crea nel locale, ma non ne avrebbe bisogno perchè si parte da un voto già alto. La pizza infatti è molto buona: stile alto, mozzarella e pomodori eccellenti. C'è un retrogusto amaro, che a dire a verità non ci sta neanche male, non ho capito se sia l'olio o la mozzarella. Con questa pizzeria si conferma la regola per cui più piccolo e spartano è il locale più buona è la pizza; è anche un'idea di serata diversa, non da gruppate confusionarie, ma per ritrovarsi in pochi attorno a un tavolino, con le gambe che si toccano per il poco spazio.

Previously called Le Follie, this pizzeria was taken over and renamed around two years ago. It appears not too much has changed, except for the prices. This time around we paid an extra four euros for the same boring margheritas and cokes. They make a nice-looking pizza, but they go slightly overboard on the sauce and the mozzarella is just mediocre. What puts me off the most, though, is the snooty atmosphere. Elegance and pizza just don't mesh well with me.

Prima si chiamava Le Follie, ora ha cambiato gestione e il risultato mi sembra lievemente peggiorato. Locale sempre elegante, troppo costoso, pizza nella norma. Siamo al di sopra della sufficienza, gli ingredienti sono discreti, però il sapore complessivo non esplode, è trattenuto. E quindi pagare una Margherita 8 euro non mi sembra proprio il caso, neanche fossimo davanti al Duomo.

Wow, this pizza was such a disappointment! When it came to the table, I thought for sure it was going to make it onto our Top Ten list! The crust looked good, the sauce was a nice color, there were abundant blobs of mozzarella...it was really a beautiful pizza! But, it turned out that the crust was just OK, the tomato sauce was leaning too much on the strong side, and the cheese had an inexplicably mild weirdness to it. I was zoning out, concentrating on the yellow pools of oil atop the cheese, when it suddenly occurred to me that all the jacked-up flavors were coming from just that! The oil!...and it tasted like soap! It tasted exactly like the oil we had to use in Morocco when we were making pasta back at the riad. And it also reminded me of the oil at Cinzia's. I just plain don't like it.

Qui la pizza è un insieme di ingredienti che non riescono a fondersi bene l'uno con l'altro. Presi singolarmente non sono male: la pasta è più sul basso, eccetto se si prende quella DOC che è un pò più alta. Mozzarella e pomodoro senza infamia e senza lode. Il risultato però non mi ha fatto alzare da tavola soddisfatto, ma neanche insoddisfatto. Non so, è una pizza che rimane lì, nel mezzo, come il nome della via in cui sta.Appuntamento Pizzahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17421076331335086569noreply@blogger.com0Via del Ponte di Mezzo, 15, 50127 Florence, Italy43.7914782 11.236962243.7900452 11.2344947 43.7929112 11.2394297tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6046859309110655908.post-6196499716225120002012-11-27T23:00:00.000-08:002013-03-11T12:14:52.828-07:00La Beppa Fioraia<div>

La Beppa Fioraia, right outside the Porta San Niccolò, is a colorful, two-storied restaurant with a glassed-in, greenhouse-type feel, reflective of its name. This place is always crowded, but I think its more for the atmosphere than for the food. I got the Ventino which is basically a margherita with cime di rapa and sausage. As far as I can understand, cime di rapa and friarielli are actually the same 'wild broccoli vegetable that grows in the woods' with a texture and taste more like that of vinegarized spinach. But this time (unlike when we were eating the pizzas from Antica Friggitoria beside the Arno, in the dark) I could just barely make out the little bronchial sacs of the so-called broccoli, but it was like a blond hair in your pizza cheese...difficult to know if you've spotted one for sure. And speaking of the cheese, it tasted like a mix of mozzarella and swiss. Yuck! So, I've concluded that I really don't like cime di rapa/friarielli no matter which name it is given, and I especially don't care for it on top of swiss cheese, and even though it may carry health hazards, I prefer the pink sausage on my pizza as opposed to the fully-cooked, dog food-looking brown one that the Ventino had. A shame! I really wanted to like the pizza here because I certainly like the place!

Mi sa che la pizza non è la specialità della casa, visto che è un locale famoso e sempre pieno. La mia margherita era modello fine con ingredienti che non mi sono piaciuti, mozzarella in primis; si, proprio la mozzarella, che nella margherita dovrebbe far fare il salto di qualità, qui è gommosa, a strato uniforme e il sapore non è buono. Il pomodoro è abbastanza accettabile, ma niente di che. Insomma, è una pizza noiosa, rispecchia quello che è diventata quella stradina con la chiusura del mitico Jaragua davanti, non c'è più nell'aria quell'adrenalina di una volta!Appuntamento Pizzahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17421076331335086569noreply@blogger.com0Via dell'Erta Canina, 6, 50125 Florence, Italy43.7630678 11.261774843.761634300000004 11.2593073 43.7645013 11.2642423tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6046859309110655908.post-26749034974228362282012-11-20T23:00:00.000-08:002013-03-11T12:15:03.494-07:00O'Scugnizzo<div>

I ordered my pizza without parmesan and I think they should have added a little salt as a replacement. That, and the assurance that the tomatoes came straight out of the jar, unprepared (and, therefore, lacking salt), are the only two faults I could see with this pizza - and one came at my own asking. The crust (in this case I'm referring to the cooked pizza dough making up the rim) was of medium thickness, while the rest was very thin...not typical for most of the pizzerias claiming to be neapolitan. The mozzarella was good, and there was a good amount of it. What's strange is that these somewhat mediocre pieces formed a rather pleasing whole, which is actually an impossible feat. But, I ate the entire pizza and walked away satisfied, not feeling like I'd overdone it - like usual, when I eat only half the pizza.

La pizza nel suo complesso è buona, anche se non ho capito il perchè; gli ingredienti presi singolarmente non mi hanno convinto: la pasta, alta ma non troppo, è troppo gommosa. Il pomodoro un pò dolciastro. La mozzarella poco saporita. Eppure l'ho proprio mangiata con gusto, il risultato finale è più che soddisfacente. E poi c'è quell'atmosfera artistica di mangiare con posate di plastica appoggiati su tavoli casuali in posture disordinate che rende il tutto più accogliente.Appuntamento Pizzahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17421076331335086569noreply@blogger.com1Via dell'Orto, 25, 50124 Florence, Italy43.7689071 11.241042143.7674736 11.2385746 43.7703406 11.2435096tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6046859309110655908.post-36579659675631303362012-11-13T23:30:00.000-08:002013-03-11T12:15:27.363-07:00Cinzia<div>

Fabio and I both got the Quattro Stagioni (without prosciutto crudo), which was NOT part of the long list of Calabrian pizzas. Maybe that's where we went wrong, since Cinzia's specializes in cucina calabrese. The crust was thinner than a tortilla and crunchy, and I liked it, but it lacked salt. And it was the same with the rest of the pizza: none of the ingredients tasted bad...they just didn't have any flavor at all! The mushrooms, olives and artichokes were blah and watery, and the mozzarella tasted equally of nothingness.

Locale di specialità calabresi, speravo di trovare sapori diversi nella mia pizza; in effetti l'aspetto era vivo, colori accesi, ma a questo brio si è invece opposta una pizza poco saporita, sia negli ingredienti, compresa la mozzarella, che nella pasta, forse mancava anche un pò di sale. Non che fossero cattivi, ma solo con poco gusto. Strano perchè in genere alla calabria sono associati gusti forti. L'unico sapore che sovrastava il resto era l'olio, quello sì molto saporito e troppo in abbondanza, ma non mi è sembrato il miglior modo per fare una degustazione!

Thanks to one of our readers who mentioned the Antica Friggitoria in a comment, Fabio and I ate from their take-out boxes along the Arno, next to the American Embassy, and it turned out to be one of our favorite pizza experiences in Florence yet! You order at a counter at a hole in the wall in the middle of the street. There's no place (except the curb) to sit, but when the food's this good...it just doesn't matter much. I was curious about the friarielli, which the pizzaiolo told me is a type of broccoli that grows in the forest; I'm thinking he may have meant some sort of wild spinach, as there were no florets reminiscent of broccoli, just soggy leaves. The sausage wasn't the usual clumps-of-what-look-like-chewed-up-raw-hamburger (an unappetizing description for a rather tasty topping!), but was browned pieces of sliced "tube" sausage. Although I wasn't especially fond of either item, my pizza had the most amazing crust; both the flavor and the consistency were perfect! And the mozzarella, too, was hard to beat. Next time it's a "red" pizza for me!

Tutto mi sarei aspettato tranne che da quel bugigattolo con il bancone sul marciapiede potesse uscire una delle pizze più buone di Firenze. La parola "napoletana" in effetti è una sicurezza, quando non è usata a sproposito, anche se è strano trovarla in un angolo di Firenze che di italiano ormai c'è poco. Purtroppo non ci sono posti per sedersi e solo con il bel tempo si può stare a mangiare all'aperto su una panchina. La crosta è buonissima, alta e croccante, il pomodoro ha un buon sapore non troppo forte. La mozzarella, pur essendo di buona qualità, forse non è all'altezza del resto. Rimane il dubbio: ma dove si può mangiare se uno abita lontano?

I don't understand why it's called Nuovo Mexico when there's nothing Mexican about the menu. There's some paella, but that's not Mexican, and everything else is Italian. I also don't get why I can't remember that I do not like (at all) warmed-up salami! My Nuovo Mexico came with tomato sauce, mozzarella, salame toscano, mushrooms, olives and fontina cheese. The crust was thin and crunchy, the mozzarella/fontina mix not too pleasing, and the salami tasted like how a wet dog smells. But, that might just be me. Anyhoo, Nuovo Mexico, as for as I'm concerned, is not the place to go to for pizza...or for anything Mexican!<br />

Locale da atmosfera positiva e servizio veloce, ma a essere sinceri non è che questo mi interessi. Qui c'è da giudicare una pizza, che non è proprio il massimo: è bassa, crosta croccante, bassa ma un pò gommosa. La mozzarella è spalmata come quando non è proprio fresca. Il pomodoro non me lo ricordo, buon segno. Per fortuna prima di ordinare mi ero accorto che nel menù c'erano diversi piatti con i porcini e allora ho immaginato che avrebbero dovuto essere buoni; in effetti il loro sapore ha ingraziato il tutto, ma tolti quelli, il nulla... da non prendere una margherita!Appuntamento Pizzahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17421076331335086569noreply@blogger.com0Via di Scandicci, 52, 50143 Florence, Italy43.7577686 11.20038220000003543.7577686 11.200381700000035 43.7577686 11.200382700000036tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6046859309110655908.post-13269922023485767222012-07-24T23:00:00.056-07:002013-03-11T12:15:51.984-07:00100 Rosso<div><br />

The first of many exchanged looks of terror came when we walked through the door to find the cash/food counter empty except for two crusty casserole dishes that looked like they'd been there a week. We sat at one of the four communal tables and observed as a number of interesting characters (obviously regulars) came in, one with a dog that scurried to eat up all the floor scraps while his owner yelled to the kitchen without a salutation, 'Can someone make me some pasta?!' Another pushed through the door with urgency, said something about free and abundant gas, and ran in the direction of the bathroom. I'm not kidding. The review of my pizza was somewhat interrupted when our waiter (the owner?) and his coworker (his son?) sat down at the table next to ours and loudly smacked on cantaloupe and prosciutto. Anyway, the pizza: my capricciosa's slices of hotdog were burnt and wilted, looking like toes left in bathwater, and the olives were so dang salty I nearly choked. Other than that, it wasn't too bad, but I had been starving and I didn't eat even a third of my pizza, so that says something! <br />

A volte non si fa caso ai nomi delle pizzerie, ed è un male, spesso rivelano che cosa sono: 100R è il numero civico in via dei Serragli e spiega bene perchè i proprietari l'abbiano chiamata così e non "Bella Napoli": è una pizzeria che non si può chiamare tale, un bancone con 4 tavoli appiccicati accanto, e una pizza che non si può definire pizza. Ingredienti molto scadenti al limite del mangiabile, in particolare il pomodoro, la crosta biscottata che non fa bella figura ricordando quelle surgelate. Insomma, se volevano indicare che nella strada non c'è nessuna pizzeria, ma solo il numero anonimo di una progressione, ci sono riusciti pienamente.Appuntamento Pizzahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17421076331335086569noreply@blogger.com2Via dei Serragli, Florence, Italy43.7619225 11.24245799999994243.7608155 11.241885499999942 43.763029499999995 11.243030499999943tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6046859309110655908.post-33508814037629975802012-07-17T22:30:00.029-07:002012-07-26T10:47:07.266-07:00Le Panche<div><br />

The orange and beige color scheme and the long communal tables (hence the name Le Panche, which translates The Benches) remind me of a school cafeteria, but the food is about, oh, a thousand times better. Fabio and I split our two pizzas and after gorging ourselves on the first, I didn't have room for more than two bites of the second! The porcini just couldn't have been more perfect. They were so delicious that they overshadowed the other ingredients which could have been picked from the trash and I wouldn't have cared. The crust was super thin and crunchy, a good combo with mushrooms! The Bella Napoli, on the other hand, had double the crust, which this time proved to be a tad too much. The mozzarella (bufala) was great, but they were too generous with the sauce for my taste. Quality ingredients, exceptional porcini, dreading-the-bell-that-sends-me-back-to-class atmosphere. <br />

Il posto è accogliente, senza tavoli singoli, ma tavolate lunghe tipo sagra, le famose panche! Ma si è mai trovata una pizza buona a una sagra? No. La pizza è bassa, ingredienti appena sufficienti, la mozzarella meglio del pomodoro che stucca un pò, insomma niente di speciale, ma neanche cattiva. Visto il clima da sagra, l'ho presa con i porcini e devo dire che erano buoni, poi uno va sul sicuro perchè c'è Careggi a due passi.Appuntamento Pizzahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17421076331335086569noreply@blogger.com0Via Giulio Caccini, 13, 50141 Florence, Italy43.8042351 11.2436618000000443.8042346 11.24366180000004 43.8042356 11.24366180000004tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6046859309110655908.post-37363329811414539662012-07-10T22:00:00.013-07:002012-11-17T16:14:36.596-08:00Pizza Man - Viale Edmondo de Amicis<div><br />

Four or five years ago, this Pizza Man location had the best pizza around. You could go any day of the week and see the Pizza Man himself throwing dough around with the whole Neapolitan crew. Unfortunately, the only thing that's remained the same is the incredibly tasty piece of sandwich they hand you while you wait for your take-out. Now, there's <i>possibly</i> ONE Italian behind the counter, and the pizza has gone to pot. My crust was full of burnt spots, and the sauce was a gushy mess tinged with non-pizza appropriate spices. The mozzarella, too, had changed - fewer chunks and lesser quality. A real shame!<br />

Se avessi scritto questo commento un anno fa sarebbe stata un'esaltazione, invece oggi mi ritrovo a chiedermi come sia potuto accadere un tracollo così: laddove c'èra una pasta morbida e saporita oggi c'è una base secca; dove c'èra un pomodoro fresco ora ci si imbatte in un sapore acido; e soprattutto quella mozzarella fantastica che teneva ancora il sapore fresco di latte oggi è <br />
sostituita da una cosa di gomma dura. Eppure a vedersi sembrano uguali. Questa volta le pizze non le ha fatte Pizzaman in persona, ma gli ingredienti sono quelli, non può fare miracoli. Voto basso in ricordo di com'era ma sempre meglio di molte altre pizzerie.

Fabio and I decided to split a Capricciosa (without prosciutto) and a Margherita. When it came time to eat my half of the Margherita, I just couldn't stomach it. The Capricciosa was ok because its true flavors did a good job hiding under all the toppings, but the tomato sauce was a bit strong and the mozzarella dull, and the crust wasn't performing any tricks I haven't seen before. Il Genio Italiano seems like a cool place to hang out, but even after dinnertime the supposed main attraction (live band) was still missing from the stage and I know what had been on my plate couldn't bring in the crowds!<br />

Il locale è famoso per la musica dal vivo, ma, forse per l'orario, non c'èra nessuno a suonare. La pizza è la classica da accompagnamento, per placare la fame in una serata all'insegna di qualcos'altro; considerata invece da solista, cioè andare lì proprio per mangiarla, evidenza tutte le sue stonature, ogni ingrediente è mediocre, sa di poco.Appuntamento Pizzahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17421076331335086569noreply@blogger.com0Viale Alessandro Guidoni, 168, 50127 Florence, Italy43.7980081 11.21320309999998743.7980076 11.213202599999986 43.798008599999996 11.213203599999988tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6046859309110655908.post-24320243260416551002012-06-19T22:00:00.013-07:002012-11-17T16:15:46.558-08:00Undici Leoni<div><br />

I prefer my pizzerias on the rugged side, and you would think Undici Leoni would be, since its name references the hometown soccer team! But it's more like a hotel lounge than your typical game-watching hangout. I did appreciate the several interesting options on the pizza menu though; not your usual stuff, so it was difficult to choose from the more than a couple I wanted to try. My Crudelia was topped with eggplant, sausage, olives, oregano and paprika. A yummy combination! The quality of the base factors (mozzarella, tomato sauce, crust) was just average, but it was nice to eat outside and the service was friendly.<br />

Il locale è nuovo, e l'attenzione con cui lo staff cerca di essere gentile ed efficiente mostra quanto ci tengano ad avere sempre più clienti. Purtroppo dovrebbe essere la pizza il mezzo per avere successo e distinguersi tra le tante pizzerie fiorentine; non la forma, ma la sostanza. E qui la sostanza è un pò pochina: classica pizza bassa, mozzarella non buona, pomodoro con un sapore per me non gradevole e troppo forte. Insomma, una pizza come ce ne sono tante, la gentilezza non basta.Appuntamento Pizzahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17421076331335086569noreply@blogger.com0Viale Manfredo Fanti, 3, 50137 Florence, Italy43.7785001 11.27901059999999243.7785001 11.279010099999992 43.7785001 11.279011099999993tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6046859309110655908.post-68484340213915012462012-06-12T23:00:00.018-07:002012-11-17T16:16:27.203-08:00La Playa<div><br />

My LuLu pizza at La Playa was topped with tomato sauce, mozzarella, sausage, porcini mushrooms and scamorza. The scamorza proved to be too strong for my taste (at least for a pizza), but the porcini were soft enough and the sausage salty! The pizza was one of the thinnest I've seen so far in Florence, which wasn't a negative for me; I love both thin and thick! The mozzarella lacked a bit in quality, or maybe only in quantity - as it was just a decorative, super fine layer as opposed to balls. An average pizza that won't have me singing anytime soon "vamos a la playa"! <br />

Un pò fuori zona, è nella strada che porta dal centro all'aeroporto e all'autostrada, quando si è di transito e si vuole mettere qualcosa sullo stomaco prima del grande viaggio; forse è per questo che è una pizza senza troppo pretese, e in teoria può essere la strategia giusta: bassa, leggera, ingredienti senza infamia e senza lode, ma nel complesso non è che si rimanga soddisfatti. Il problema è per il ritorno, quando si arriva a Firenze, magari dall'estero, e dopo aver sofferto la fame si sogna anche di notte una bella pizza con i sapori italiani.

A super friendly and endearingly shy and nervous staff made my Capricciosa pizza (minus prosciutto cotto). If it matters, no one who works here is Italian. For me, that's ok. A Mexican girl could potentially make a great Indian dish. Chances are it might not be very authentic, but that doesn't mean it won't taste great. Slightly less optimistic situation here, though; the pizza wasn't really very good...at all. I think the worst part was the "mozzarella" that solidified in a shockingly short time and gave my pizza a plastic consistency. But, that's pretty much standard for your 5/10 pizza. (Let it be known that quite possibly and surely certainly there were more variables involved than just the foreigner factor that resulted in this pizzeria's poor score!)<br />

Diciamo che non si respira proprio l'atmosfera di Napoli dentro vista la nazionalità di chi lo gestisce...non è assolutamente un problema, per carità, se non che non ce l'ha neanche la pizza che sfornano! Sottile, ingredienti non buoni, quando si fredda è un disastro.

If I would have known about this place before, I guarantee this would have been my thousandth time there instead of just my first! A look from the outside told me this "pub" was a sort of rugby clubhouse/community center under a permanent tent with maybe two options of microwave pizza. But when you go in...everything is wooden: the bar, the booths, there's outdoor seating and there's definitely the pub feel...with anything but your usual bar food (and a long list of oven-fired pizzas to choose from too!). The hamburgers that passed by our table were about as big as my face, and the French fries were straight out of Anytown, USA. And look at my pizza! That's a beautiful pizza! My Toto had several balls of bufala and a large crust stuffed with ricotta cheese. Delicious!...even if all that cheese started to get to me. The tomato sauce was the only weak point...maybe it needed a pinch more salt. I'll go back in a heart beat, if not for the pizza, for the hamburgers! I love Rugby Pub! <br />

Non dovrebbero chiamare un posto dove c'è anche il forno a legna "pub", se no si è prevenuti. Non ci sarei mai andato per mangiare la pizza se non avessi avuto un coupon, ed è stata una piacevole sorpresa. La mozzarella è molto buona, cade sulla base a bocconcini, non a strato; la pasta è più sul basso, ma non eccessivamente; il punto debole è il pomodoro, non ha un buon sapore. Considerato che il locale è carino e in una zona, lo stadio, dove di pizzerie decenti ce ne sono poche, è da consigliare, anche se il mio commento positivo è più per lo scetticismo iniziale che per un valore assoluto della pizza.Appuntamento Pizzahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17421076331335086569noreply@blogger.com0Viale Pasquale Paoli, 21, 50137 Florence, Italy43.7787352 11.28253300000005812.4082607 -48.48309199999994 75.1492097 71.04815800000006tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6046859309110655908.post-12441596619992474942012-05-22T23:00:00.058-07:002012-06-02T13:49:46.242-07:00La Taverna di Castruccio<div><br />

Everyone turned and stared as we walked in, so either we are way better-looking (or way worse-looking) than we thought we were, or this is a strictly neighborhood joint that doesn't see many outsiders. The place was small and packed, so it was a <i>little</i> awkward. But, we got over it pretty quickly and ordered our pizzas. My Castruccio (sausage, black olives, onions, mushrooms, and parmesan), with its tangle of purple worms atop, had quite the unappetizing look to it...but part of it was because I was expecting onions like the ones on American pizzas, which are usually white and diced in perfect rectangles. Despite its appearance, the mixture of ingredients had a non-surprisingly great flavor. The crust was thin, only crunchy on the rim, and had (contrary to Fabio's appraisement) a nice salty flavor. If I lived next door, you could bet I'd be there every week.<br />

Peccato, gli ingredienti non sono male, non eccezionali, ma la mozzarella è discreta e il pomodoro non disturba. Il grande problema è la pasta: primo di tutto ha un sapore di un qualcosa di fastidiosamente insapore, non so se per il sale o forse per il fatto, e qui sta il problema più grave, che è poco cotta! La base è molliccia, gommosa, forse anche questo altera il gusto, sta di fatto che il risultato complessivo è falsato.Appuntamento Pizzahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17421076331335086569noreply@blogger.com1Via Pisana, 50018 Scandicci Florence, Italy43.76694819999999 11.1498973000000243.76505419999999 11.12931130000002 43.76884219999999 11.17048330000002tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6046859309110655908.post-8918582850698690232012-05-15T23:00:00.001-07:002012-11-17T16:17:17.613-08:00Danny Rock<div><br />

Seeing as how Danny Rock is supposed to be an American diner of sorts, I opted for a pizza topped with hotdog slices, since hotdogs and hamburgers are all we Americans eat anyway, right? I didn't know if I should expect an Americanized pizza or an Italian one, but I was fairly sure it wasn't going to be any good, and this was based on a whoops-that's-not-cheese-but-a-gigantic-glob-of-mayonnaise hamburger experience I suffered a few years back at Danny Rock, same night Obama became president as a matter of fact. The crust was thin and frozen-pizzaish, and the hotdog was your normal dog. The cheese didn't taste like a topnotch mozzarella, but there aren't many pizzerias that use it anyway, so I would have been surprised... It's below average pizza (American or otherwise), but it's edible. Note: coperto is a rather ridiculous 2.50 euro/head! <br />

Se non avessi trovato un coupon a 1 euro per una pizza non ci sarei neanche andato, e devo dire che non avrei perso niente. Ero sicuro che l'avrei subito eletta peggior pizza di Firenze, ma non è stato così, ha una sua dignità. Certo, gli ingredienti non sono buoni, il pomodoro in eccesso l'ho dovuto spostare con la forchetta perchè mi nauseava, la mozzarella era insapore, i funghi crudi, la crosta sembrava più una piadina, però sono riuscito a finirla senza sforzi. Quindi ha il merito di non essere peggiore di certe pizze di locali che si definiscono pizzerie.

This place is just pretending! They might have '100 spots' for customers to sit, but not even a third of them are filled and I'm sure they are only ever touched by tourists, tourists who are lured in by the fancy, so-perfect-it-looks-plastic food behind the glass counter. We were there with Groupon (which in the end, I'm not sure was much of a deal: a cheap three courses of stuff you couldn't pay me to eat to begin with!), but the prices on the menu were just absurd, like 9 euro - I think it was - for a piece of tiramisu! Let's remember we're on Borgo San Lorenzo, folks, tourist trap alley and right next to our favorite place to hate on, Pizzeria Nuti. They must be hoping people will equate their high prices with quality...I got a pizza with porcini and those mushrooms were just hard and flavorless balls. Sick! The crust tasted of flour and seemed a bit undercooked. The tomato sauce and mozzarella were choke-downable. The only positive was the Vasco Rossi concert on the TV next to our table.<br />

Già nel percorrere borgo San Lorenzo, con i ristoranti con i tavoli fuori e i camerieri in piedi che ti fermano per convincerti a mangiare da loro, mi erano venute in mente atmosfere dell'est, dove dall'insistenza non si riesce a camminare, ma in cui la qualità del cibo non è proprio l'attrazione principale. Quindi ero già maldisposto; in più per arrivare alla pizzeria "100 posti" ho ritrovato sulla destra la pizzeria Nuti, brutti ricordi...e purtroppo l'impronta è quella, un pò meglio, ma la mia pizza aveva quell'atmosfera di qualità scadente, quegli ingredienti da turisti, quel sapore un pò così...non riesco nemmeno a giudicarla nei suoi singoli elementi, sarebbe inutile, diciamo che è il corrispettivo di una brutta imitazione di una raffinata marca originale.Appuntamento Pizzahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17421076331335086569noreply@blogger.com0Borgo San Lorenzo, 7, 50123 Florence, Italy43.7736302 11.25459160000002643.7736292 11.254587100000027 43.7736312 11.254596100000025tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6046859309110655908.post-40836949198494612902012-05-01T22:30:00.047-07:002012-11-17T16:18:13.509-08:00David<div><br />

They have the cutest booths ever at David, made for two and placed at an angle, but we weren't lucky enough to get one...We were in between the cute booths, at a table Fabio said was too short, but that was perfect for me! I ordered the Delicatessen which had a delightful mix of some of my favorite ingredients (mushrooms, mozzarella, and sausage) with something I've never had on a pizza before: ginger. (There was also some parmesan.) The result was a fantastically spicy pizza with a unique and yummy flavor. They could have been more generous with the mushrooms and sausage, and left off some of the sauce...but I definitely wasn't expecting a pizza this good from a pretentiously huge restaurant with an English name. <br />

Il locale è carino, con divanetti da due e tavolini al centro un pò troppo bassi. Anche la pizza è carina, ma solo a vedersi; forse anche i divanetti sono scomodi, non lo so, dato che mi è toccato il tavolino da gnomo. Ho preso il calzone, con molti dubbi perchè la margherita del tavolo accanto si presentava bene, con una bella costa a bordo alto e bei colori. Non mi è piaciuto, era troppo pastoso, strapieno di prosciutto e sia la mozzarella che il pomodoro non erano un granché: la prima insapore e gommosa, il secondo di un sapore troppo forte. Gli ingredienti dovrebbero essere gli stessi della margherita, per cui o sono proprio così o forse soffrono l'ambiente chiuso del calzone.Appuntamento Pizzahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17421076331335086569noreply@blogger.com0Via della Rondinella, 93, 50135 Florence, Italy43.7752343 11.29201330000000812.4032688 -48.47361169999999 75.14719980000001 71.05763830000001tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6046859309110655908.post-41951277209005631552012-04-24T22:00:00.045-07:002012-05-08T08:05:35.280-07:00Girasol<div><br />

The pizza dough at Girasol is made with Kamut and "other natural ingredients." I must say it did taste like a pretty healthy pizza, but it could have been the power of suggestion. I got the Quattro Stagioni; I was able to switch-out the prosciutto for sausage without any problems. The crust seemed a bit drier than your usual, but in a "clean" way. It was good, and I don't think anybody could say they wouldn't eat a pizza with Kamut, just because it was made with Kamut. The flavor/consistency just isn't that powerful. The tomato sauce was a strange, deep red and the spiciness of it was a bit too strong for me. The mozzarella, olives, artichokes and mushrooms were fine. Some nights at Girasol they do the dj/cocktail bar thing, and I can see how if you were there with a group of friends you could be distracted into thinking your pizza was super good, but it isn't that bad to start with! <br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">FABIO: 5/10</span><br />
Per giudicare la pizza del Girasol si dovrebbe mangiarla almeno 10 volte; questo perchè è fatta con farina di Kamut e altri ingredienti naturali che danno un sapore diverso da quello tradizionale, per cui all'inizio si rimane sbigottiti. Anche il pomodoro è particolare, ha un sapore forte tipo quelli biologici. La pasta è più scura del "normale", il pomodoro molto più rosso, la mozzarella invece è quella classica, sulla sufficienza. A me non è piaciuta onestamente, credo si debba avere una grandissima abitudine ad apprezzare sapori diversi al primo assaggio per poterla giudicare serenamente; posso solo dire che se volete mangiare al Girasol o ci andate spesso o se è per provare una volta si rischia di rimanere delusi. È in ogni caso una sfida con noi stessi per testare il nostro grado di relativismo culturale culinario: il mio è basso.Appuntamento Pizzahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17421076331335086569noreply@blogger.com0Via del Romito, 1, 50134 Florence, Italy43.7848671 11.2468377999999812.417004599999999 -48.51878720000002 75.1527296 71.01246279999998tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6046859309110655908.post-26527436943263208932012-04-17T23:00:00.002-07:002012-11-17T16:20:20.584-08:00Trey<div><br />

Trey feels like a classy place to eat, even if you're doing it in plastic chairs. Fabio and I both ordered the basic Margherita, and she came out looking beautiful with healthy-red sauce, generous clumps of mozzarella, and a splash of oil on top of that large crust. The crust was plain, without much flavor, but the salt in the sauce made compensation and the overall taste was quite pleasing. There was too much sauce for me, but not to the point where I was revolted by it or anything, but it was strange: I think it's pretty much standard procedure to swipe the sauce around the crust, throw on the cheese, and top it with basil. What we had, though, was a pizza with the basil stirred in with the sauce, and the tomato sauce and the mozzarella on the same plain, instead of on different levels. It was like the cheese and tomato took turns plopping around the pizza, each in their exclusive spots. Anyway, it's been a while since we've had a pizza this good!

Attenzione, attenzione, anche la zona Stadio ha una pizzeria degna di tale nome! Locale un pò da fighettini per i miei gusti, hanno poche pizze, poche ma buone. La mia margherita era di alto livello, ma voglio soffermarmi sui punti deboli: crosta alta ma non troppo, molto leggera però, è mancante di un pò di sale. La mozzarella è buona, un pò poca, ma il sapore è sovrastato dal pomodoro che è troppo abbondante e, anche se gradevole, rovina l'armonia tra gli ingredienti; sembra una marinara con della mozzarella sopra più che una margherita. Diciamo che, dato che il giudizio complessivo è ottimo, i punti deboli, più che difetti, possono essere considerati caratteristiche, addirittura scelte del pizzaiolo.Appuntamento Pizzahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17421076331335086569noreply@blogger.com0Via Pietro Carnesecchi, 9-red, 50131 Florence, Italy43.7825187 11.28093260000002843.7825122 11.280926100000029 43.782525199999995 11.280939100000028tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6046859309110655908.post-4112380716290100742012-04-10T22:00:00.047-07:002012-04-17T11:40:31.401-07:00La Rotonda<div><br />

La Rotonda: a crowded, three-leveled, all-wooden "steakhouse" as it says above the door, resembling a pub, except that it's clean and not dark; super yummy desserts! (We tried the tiramisu, something chocolate, and a cream torta della nonna as part of our Groupon deal.) As for the pizza... The waiter said the pizza I had ordered, the Toscana (sausage and porcini) was his favorite. It happens to be one of my favorite combos too, but I like it better when the crust isn't all flaky and burnt! As far as the ingredients on top of the crust went, everything tasted good. Fabio's pizza wasn't burnt at all, he guessed they kept mine in the oven longer to cook the sausage. Who knows, but it was good enough for a redo! <br />

La pizza rispecchia il locale, che è allo stesso tempo alla mano, stile pub tutto in legno e un pò caotico, ma con il servizio molto elegante da ristorante formale. La pizza, infatti, si presenta bella a vedersi e nelle proporzioni, ma con ingredienti di qualità diversa tra di loro: la mozzarella sembra buona, mentre il pomodoro ha un sapore un pò forte. In complesso si mangia bene, tra le pizze basse in centro è buona, anche se non è il massimo.Appuntamento Pizzahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17421076331335086569noreply@blogger.com0Via Il Prato, 10, 50123 Florence, Italy43.7748221 11.24311820000002643.774818100000005 11.243110700000026 43.7748261 11.243125700000027tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6046859309110655908.post-25511264672208363962012-04-03T22:00:00.061-07:002012-04-12T13:59:20.070-07:00La Lanterna<div><br />

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. <br />

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 <br />

Right next to the Oblate library, you can eat a satisfying pizza while enjoying fast and friendly service. The pizza at Boia is dry, not crunchy or without moisture, but dry in that it isn't wet. A lot of pizzas have juicy mozzarella and oil on top, making them wet pizzas, which is usually a very good thing (as long as it isn't the tomato sauce that's making the pizzas so well-lubricated). But being a dry pizza isn't necessarily a bad thing. It's difficult to describe, but it was like my pizza had been put in one of those dehydration machines, but just for a minute, so that it came out ever-so-slightly smaller and a bit less...wet. I got the Salsiccia & Broccoli pizza, and all the ingredients tasted of quality and freshness. I'd definitely go back.<br />

Servizio veloce, a me piace quando hai la sensazione che non vedano l'ora di liberare il tuo tavolo per non far aspettare i nuovi clienti, il problema è quando accade il contrario... a parte questo, la pizza è buona, niente di eccezionale, ma c'è la vicinanza al Duomo che in genere non favorisce la qualità. Crosta bassa, mozzarella e pomodoro che non sfigurano, la pizza però non decolla, rimane inespressa, basterebbe poco, ma così sembra tanto.Appuntamento Pizzahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17421076331335086569noreply@blogger.com0Via dell'Oriuolo, 58, 50122 Florence, Italy43.7725625 11.25794210000003743.7725555 11.257940600000037 43.772569499999996 11.257943600000036tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6046859309110655908.post-83711440280222913502012-03-20T22:45:00.043-07:002012-04-01T01:44:18.073-07:00Divina Commedia<div><br />

It's always hard for me to believe when I eat a decent pizza in the center of the center, but, it's happened once again! The crust was really good; it had that slightly sweet, fresh taste and wasn't crunchy or too doughy. I got the white (no tomato sauce) Salsiccia and Stracchino, but the pieces of salsiccia were so small that I got bored with the pizza's lack of flavor fairly quickly. Sausage often overwhelms a pizza, but this time I found myself wishing either for more salt or maybe a vegetable...but, it was still very edible. I'd go back! <br />

Sembra il classico locale per turisti in cui viene servita una sfoglia con ingredienti scadenti sopra che di pizza ha solo il nome. In effetti la pizza è del tipo bassa, mentre gli ingredienti non mi sono sembrati male, anche se c'èra troppo pomodoro e poca mozzarella. Ho preso una vegetariana per cui le tante verdure sopra hanno coperto la vera qualità complessiva dei sapori base; la prossima volta metterò da parte i pregiudizi e prenderò la margherita.Appuntamento Pizzahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17421076331335086569noreply@blogger.com0Via dei Cimatori, 7-red, 50122 Florence, Italy43.7705394 11.25662910000005543.7705364 11.256628600000054 43.7705424 11.256629600000055tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6046859309110655908.post-58985144192215616592012-03-13T23:00:00.113-07:002012-03-18T14:32:18.702-07:00PizzaMan Party<div><br />

Feeling festive for our 100th pizza review, we called Pizzaman Party. The delivery guy showed up more than a half hour early, actually beating us to the apartment. The wait in the car caused the cheese to solidify, turning our pizza to plastic. The crust was thick and cold and super salty. It didn't have the consistency of a pizza crust, but of the airy chewiness of day-old garlic bread. The tomato sauce was clumps of heatless paste and I already told you about the mozzarella. The Teglione di Margherita is meant to feed 3-4 people, and it would have been perfect for a slumber party of about six ten year-old boys; we couldn't even finish the equivalent of a single portion. So much for the celebration! <br />

È vero che Pizza Man più passa il tempo e più peggiora, ma qui abbiamo toccato il fondo. La pizza è alta, con la base tipo da panificio, soffice ma troppo pastosa. La mozzarella, che almeno in passato aveva contraddistinto Pizza Man per aver portato un ingrediente fresco nella pizza, è qui nella peggiore espressione: uno strato uniforme duro e compatto che appena diventato tiepido è <br />
diventato immangiabile. Il pomodoro aveva un sapore troppo forte. A parziale scusante, ma in realtà è un aggravante, è che hanno portato la pizza mezz'ora in anticipo rispetto all'ora pattuita, per cui quando sono arrivato ho trovato Pizzaman Party in macchina che mi aspettava: la pizza quindi è stata 10 minuti nel forno e sarà sicuramente peggiorata; per questo la vorrei riprovare, ma non credo che una buona pizza diventi così immangiabile per essere stata 10 minuti <br />
in forno, sembrava quella dell'autogrill!Appuntamento Pizzahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17421076331335086569noreply@blogger.com1Via Gran Bretagna, 26, 50126 Florence, Italy43.7598743 11.29681310000000812.3813688 -48.46881189999999 75.1383798 71.06243810000001tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6046859309110655908.post-20023673871434826352012-03-06T23:00:00.044-08:002012-03-11T07:01:28.807-07:00I Rivali<div><br />

It's like taking vacation days and spending your entire time-off at home, doing nothing. If you're not going somewhere new or doing something exciting, you might as well be at work! The pizza at Rivali is like the pizza at a zillion other places - mediocre ingredients and blah flavor. Why bother? If you're gonna have a pizza, do it right and don't do it here.<br />

Avendo visto nei tavoli accanto che cosa mi avrebbero portato se avessi ordinato una margherita (la solita pizza bassa con ingredienti non di qualità, tanto ormai lo capisco dai colori), ho optato per il calzone; è strano, ho notato che, anche le pizzerie più scadenti, il calzone lo fanno decentemente, per cui, quando voglio andare sul sicuro, lo ordino. Si giudica male perchè la pasta, come si sa, è alta alla base e svolazzante quella sopra. Gli ingredienti, cotto e mozzarella, erano normali. Sono costretto a dare come voto la sufficienza pur sapendo che ho voluto autoingannarmi con questa scelta.Appuntamento Pizzahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17421076331335086569noreply@blogger.com0Via Taddeo Alderotti, 37, 50139 Florence, Italy43.7970629 11.24474880000002543.7970609 11.244739800000024 43.7970649 11.244757800000025tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6046859309110655908.post-22923185976625365472012-02-28T23:00:00.094-08:002012-03-04T14:20:48.943-08:00Regginella<div><br />

Regginella, in the heart of the San Lorenzo market, next to the Medici Chapels, is the perfect pitstop for the novice pizza eater. Thanks to Groupon, our stomachs were prepped with coccoli, crostini and slices of salami and prosciutto crudo. Everything was good, but not fantastic. (Well, that's a lie. I was disappointed with the coccoli which were sweet, dessert coccoli, as I had been dreaming of the plain or salty ones all day.) The crudo had an orange tinge to it, and this same passive-aggressive lack of quality spilled over onto the main course. I ordered the Capricciosa without hotdog and ham. The artichokes surprisingly seemed fresh, and the olives and mushrooms were normal. The mozzarella and tomato sauce gave me nothing to complain about. I could even say they were yummy. The crust was thin, with the right amount of chew and crunch, but it had the flavor of a dough you make at home, when you're not really sure what you're doing. Far from spectacular, but a passing-grade experience especially if you don't know there's better out there.<br />

Pizza bassa, ingredienti non di grande qualità, forse la mancanza di sale la rende un pò piatta nel sapore. Come questa pizza ce ne sono tantissime a Firenze, sicuramente non raggiunge la sufficienza, non si esce soddisfatti; per fortuna appena fuori dal locale ci si trova davanti le Cappelle Medicee a San Lorenzo e il nostro corpo ci perdona ciò che ha appena ingerito.Appuntamento Pizzahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17421076331335086569noreply@blogger.com0Via del Canto de' Nelli, 38, 50123 Florence, Italy43.7750803 11.25302920000001443.7750778 11.253026200000015 43.7750828 11.253032200000014tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6046859309110655908.post-4299026791932617552012-02-21T12:18:00.001-08:002012-02-21T12:30:42.325-08:00Il Giardino del Poggetto<div><br />

Il Giardino del Poggetto was recommended to me by a friend, and I scoffed at his insistence that a pizzeria next to Flog could possibly be decent, let alone something to rave about. But maybe Fabio and I aren't the only people who know what we're talking about, when we're talking about pizza! The atmosphere is casual and the staff is fantastic at Poggetto. Our pizzas were taking a little longer than expected, and so they brought us out some salami and crostini on the house. The pizzas were small in circumference, but insanely dense. The crust was crunchy on the outside, but soft in the middle and had a great fresh flavor. I got the Delicata: sausage, mozzarella, stracchino, pieces of tomato and a drizzling of oil on top. All of the ingredients appeared to be of high quality; every bite was delicious, even if I wasn't able to finish it all! Fabio complained of the pizza being too thick, and I will admit that they probably could have rolled the dough out a bit more...But on the other hand, it was also refreshing to finally eat a DIFFERENT kind of pizza. <br />

La mia paura, quando una pizzeria propone una pizza in stile napoli, è che sia equivocata la parola "alta", perchè non si deve intendere in modo letterale. La vera pizza napoletana ha una base normale e la crosta che sembra alta, ma è gonfia, rotondeggiante, leggera. E invece in questa pizzeria hanno equivocato: ti presentano un mattone con la base alta tipo 1 cm e la crosta che sembra il cantuccio del pane. Di solito la pizza napoletana si distingue anche per la qualità degli ingredienti: qui invece una discreta mozzarella è affogata in una salsa di pomodoro agrodolce. Più che una pizza sembra una caricatura, un fumetto, una rappresentazione dadaista, un qualcosa che ho digerito a fatica.Appuntamento Pizzahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17421076331335086569noreply@blogger.com0Via Michele Mercati, 24, 50139 Florence, Italy43.7949069 11.24765839999997812.431321400000002 -48.51796660000002 75.1584924 71.01328339999998tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6046859309110655908.post-10671909204333316502012-02-14T22:00:00.013-08:002012-02-19T07:03:45.853-08:00Trattoria Pizzeria Dante<div><br />

Here we are again, at the bottom of the barrel. Pizzeria Dante slops around with the worst pizzerias known to this blog: Pizzeria Nuti, Alla Corte dei Tre and Antica Porta. They're all at about the same level of NON-edibility. Here, the tiresome list: questionable mozzarella, too much disgusting-tasting tomato sauce, a thin crust with burnt spots. The worst part at Dante's was the porcini, squishy slugs that tasted of nothing but water. Aww, sick!<br />

Qui siamo in pieno Inferno tra le cantiche delle pizze, siamo nel punto più basso, dove speravo di non dover mai scendere. Dico solo che alla fine, pur di mettere qualcosa nello stomaco, ho mangiato solo la crosta lasciando tutta la parte centrale. Si presenta come la solita pizza bassa, ma già dal colore della pseudo mozzarella si capisce che quello non è il punto forte. Poi si passa al pomodoro, di un rosso strano. Mi fermo all'aspetto visivo, assaggiarlo è stato peggio, indescrivibile. Perfino i porcini avevano una consistenza strana, spugnosa.

I'm all for being young at heart (and at times, in mind), but if it requires ordering what the 8 year-old boy next to you is eating, maybe it's time to rethink my motto. For my pizza, I exchanged his hotdog for sausage and his mozzarella with stracchino, keeping the deluge (as opposed to a sprinkling) of french fries on top. The stracchino was good, the french fries were perfect, the sausage was brown instead of the usual pink (which for me was fine), and even though large portions of the thin and crunchy crust were burnt, the first half of my pizza had me grinning like in 1986 at Disneyland with large hunks of cotton candy in each hand. But that was the FIRST half. The following bite had me feeling like Chris Farley in the scene from <i>Tommy Boy</i> when David Spade says to Tommy, who is snarfing down fries while squirting ketchup directly into his mouth, "I can actually hear you getting fatter." Wanting to vomit afterward was just the old lady in me talking, but I'd say this is a great place to take those easy-to-please, non-too-picky kids. <br />

Piccolo locale, ma accogliente nei colori, ha in sè il destino di non essere trovato casualmente, visto che è in una stradina non proprio di passaggio. E chi ha questo destino dovrebbe ingengnarsi a far si che la propria esitenza si trasmetta di bocca in bocca, di parola in parola. Sicuramente non può essere per la pizza, visto che non è buona ma neanche troppo male (potrebbe essere anche questo un segno distintivo): sottilissima, poco cotta e quindi gommosa, ingredienti non di qualità, si mangia tanto per mangiare. Forse possono distinguersi per una cosa: i coccoli con stracchino e crudo, visto che i coccoli che servono sono dolci! Tipo bomboloni, ma onestamente non mi sembra una grande genialata.Appuntamento Pizzahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17421076331335086569noreply@blogger.com1Via de' Tommasi, 9, 50142 Florence, Italy43.7736319 11.20368220000000343.7736279 11.203674700000002 43.773635899999995 11.203689700000004tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6046859309110655908.post-29513745386374979662012-01-31T22:00:00.000-08:002012-02-05T10:19:04.505-08:00Cipiglio<div><br />

Definitely better than your average Florentine pizza. Quality mozzarella in big chunks. Soft and plentiful porcini. Too much sauce for me, though: it started to get soupy, but not the good soupy that means the mozzarella is good mozzarella, but the bad soupy that's just a thick mess and when it gets cold is completely disgusting. Thick outer crust, but still crunchy...until it sat in the soup too long. Overall yummy flavor. <br />

Pizza nella media, di quelle basse con crosta croccante, ma un pò troppo oliosa. La mozzarella non è male, il pomodoro invece ha un sapore fittizio. Anche se ho distinto male i sapori perchè la pizza era invasa dal sapore dei porcini: porcini che, anche se sott'olio, davano un buon sapore anche se dopo un pò veniva a noia, forse perchè era troppo forte. Insomma, è una di quelle pizze che quando ti chiedono come sia l'unica risposta che viene è "Mah".Appuntamento Pizzahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17421076331335086569noreply@blogger.com0Via Raffaello Lambruschini, 50134 Florence, Italy43.7889625 11.25203520000002343.7885425 11.249176200000022 43.789382499999995 11.254894200000024tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6046859309110655908.post-69690320298459318462012-01-24T22:00:00.000-08:002012-01-30T14:36:40.834-08:00Casale dei Ricci<div><br />

Boscaiola is my favorite, but there were lots of other pizzas on the menu that I wouldn't have minded trying...well, before I ate this one that is. The crust was thin, and debatably undercooked. The cheese was what I'll call circus cheese - the cheese they use for the starving masses because it's cheap, looks good from afar, and you don't need returning customers because, hey, you're only here for the weekend anyway. The circus cheese has only one trick: looks good, tastes gross. The porcini were squishy and watery and equally disgusting. I just hope the sausage wasn't expired, because that would just be the cherry on the cupcake, wouldn't it? But I seem to be doing ok. My advice is to take your party elsewhere, unless you're coming for the appetizers/desserts, which weren't too bad.<br />

C'è proprio l'atmosfera che qui la pizza la propongano giusto perchè c'è sempre qualcuno incontentabile che non vuole prendere i piatti caratteristici della casa. Sicuramente nessuno va al Casale per mangiare la pizza. Gli ingredienti sono di scarsa qualità: la mozzarella, di quelle bianche e belle a vedersi ma false nel sapore, il pomodoro non fresco, la pasta sottile e poco cotta. Speravo che prendendola con i porcini l'avrei almeno migliorata, e invece proprio i funghi hanno dato il colpo di grazia rendendo impossibile finire la pizza. Da aggiungere che il tutto era immerso in troppo olio.

Our search for the best pizza in Florence has been so crammed with setbacks that I rarely enter a pizzeria with anything but negative expectations. But maybe that's what made this find all the sweeter. Amalfitana is a small and cold (I had to eat with my coat on) pizzeria where we had to wait over 10 minutes to order, even though we were one of only four couples. The choices of pizzas left me wanting, so I went with the default Margherita. When the pizzas came to the table, my attitude had a makeover, and a surprised and positive <i>Hmmm</i> escaped because those pizzas weren't looking too bad! The crust was thick and unburnt; the tomato sauce was super red (usually meaning it originated from a can or jar), but it tasted good; and even though the mozzarella didn't seem of very high quality...all together it made for a good mix! Yes, I would have preferred a little less sauce and bigger clumps of better cheese, but I would say we were definitely on the right track.<br />

Qui la pizza ha tutto per non essere buona, ma non ci riesce: Amalfi non è Napoli, il pomodoro è troppo rosso, la mozzarella non è a pezzi grossi, che fanno immaginare una parte dell'intero, e la crosta ha un colore gommoso. Poi, quando si assaggia, si scopre un sapore buono e delicato, il pomodoro non ha un sapore forte, la crosta ha una sua dignità; forse la mozzarella, pur non essendo cattiva, non eccelle. Sublime se paragonata alla pizzeria La Vera Napoli qui a Firenze, discreta se ci si riferisce a una vera pizza fatta a Napoli.Appuntamento Pizzahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17421076331335086569noreply@blogger.com0Via della Mattonaia, 51-red, 50121 Florence, Italy43.7743068 11.26995609999994543.7743033 11.269948099999946 43.774310299999996 11.269964099999944tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6046859309110655908.post-22986423538318442432012-01-10T22:00:00.000-08:002012-01-12T12:15:00.708-08:00Pizzeria Maso'<div><br />

I got the Vegetariana with eggplant, zucchini, bell peppers, artichokes and mushrooms. The vegetables, particularly the zucchini, were undercooked, but at least that way I could tell they were fresh - all except the artichokes, that is. The cheese was thick with a bad, non-mozzarella-y flavor and I could hardly taste the tomato sauce. The crust was crunchy and very dry, and could have used a little salt. In my opinion, just an average, slightly pricey pizza. <br />

La pizza qui sembra fatta più per sembrare buona che per esserlo effettivamente. In particolare, la mozzarella si presenta bianca e consistente, ma quando si assaggia si sente che è gommosa e insapore, un pò come quelle mozzarelle per pizza del supermercato. Anche il pomodoro non è dei migliori, però il risultato complessivo non è proprio male, diciamo che con gli ingredienti a disposizione hanno fatto il massimo. I prezzi però sono un pò alti per questa qualità.Appuntamento Pizzahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17421076331335086569noreply@blogger.com0Via Maso Finiguerra, 10, 50123 Florence, Italy43.7735675 11.24482820000002912.400891999999999 -48.52079679999997 75.146243 71.01045320000003tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6046859309110655908.post-58574692678266365662012-01-03T22:00:00.000-08:002012-01-03T22:00:04.906-08:00SUD<div><br />

We were duped, even if I had read beforehand online that one could enter SUD by passing through Caffè Italiano. Hmm, curious! There were the bathrooms shared between the two restaurants, the menu with the same pizzas as those offered by Enzino (although costing a euro more), the dark and strangely empty "kitchen" of SUD...well, we weren't outsmarted for long! Especially when the pizzas came to the table it was obvious that if you're eating a pizza at SUD, you're eating a pizza at Caffè Italiano. That being said, I would prefer to eat that same pizza at one of the four tables next to Enzino's pizza oven instead. It has been some time, though, since we reviewed Enzino's pizzas, and word on the street is that they aren't as good as they used to be. If what we had at SUD is now the norm, what people are saying is right. The crust of my pizza was dense and chewy, practically impossible to cut through with the butter knife they gave me. The entire bottom of my pizza was burnt and there were burnt bubbles on the top too. The mozzarella was good, but turned cold too quickly and left me with gigantic wads of gum. And the whole thing was way too salty. Happily, when it came time to pay, those extra euros on the pizzas had disappeared. I bet somebody called them on that.<br />

Questo è un commento particolare, in quanto cambia il nome della pizzeria ma non la pizza: mi riferisco al fatto che Sud è attaccata all'Osteria del Caffè Italiano con in comune il pizzaiolo. Visto che era stato uno dei miei primi commenti, ero contento e curioso di riassaggiare la mitica Margherita di Enzino, considerata da me una delle più buone (e care) di Firenze. Sarà per la sicurezza di aspettarmi una prelibatezza davanti o per il mio essere diventato troppo critico, ma ho trovato un netto peggioramento. La cosa peggiore è stata che gli ingredienti mi sono sembrati buoni, ma era tutto troppo salato e soprattutto la crosta gommosa e mezza bruciata. Di positivo invece c'è che ora qui almeno si può prenotare e trovare posto più facilmente, anche se i prezzi sono quelli alti di una pizza che non è più tra le migliori di Firenze.

The pizza, at least the Margherita, is a huge disappointment at Le Lance, and I think it's exacerbated by the inconsistency of a fabulous location (overlooking Florence) with an elegant set-up (different levels of spacious inside and outside dining) serving up just mediocre meals. I expected at least a decent pizza, not one that competes with the tourist traps in the center. The pizza was thin, but not crunchy. It was ugly, without even a basil leaf to hide behind. The tomato sauce was scarce and the cheese was just gross, like cheap cheddar microwaved on stale chips. Really...a shame! <br />

Il locale è bello, la zona (Fiesole) ancor di più, il problema è la pizza: base sottilissima, praticamente una sfoglia, è condita con un qualcosa che se è mozzarella non è nella sua migliore espressione, se è un altro formaggio non ci sta bene. Considerato che nel menù c'è scritto mozzarella e soprattutto la chiamano pizza, forse è meglio scendere nella Firenze meno esteta.Appuntamento Pizzahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17421076331335086569noreply@blogger.com0Via Giuseppe Mantellini, 2, 50014 Fiesole Florence, Italy43.801599 11.29620220000003943.801592500000005 11.296199700000038 43.8016055 11.29620470000004tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6046859309110655908.post-37522235821526616042011-12-20T22:00:00.000-08:002011-12-20T22:00:04.832-08:00Da I' Papero<div><br />

Without a sign, and tucked-in behind the MediaWorld and the Coop, Da I' Papero can be tricky to find. If the reek of fish knocks you over at the door, you're at the right place! But your nausea will soon be distracted by all the good-looking pizzas passing by. They are thick-crusted pizzas with globs of mozzarella, and at first bite, the salty, oily goodness has an almost buttery flavor. Yummy! The tomato sauce had a good amount of soupiness to it, far from the sticky paste of lesser pizzas. There were some burnt spots, but overall the taste was fresh and the pizza retained it's warmth longer than most, which made for less stressful eating and the absence of post-pizza digestion discomfort. <br />

Nascosto dietro la Coop, ecco un locale che ispira simpatia come il suo nome. Anche le pizze sembrano uno scherzo, con una crosta alta e rotondeggiante che incornicia la base, tipo se uno la dovesse fare con il pongo; la pasta è buona, leggera, si scioglie in bocca. La mozzarella si vede che è fresca e di buona qualità, alti livelli per la media di Firenze anche se ne ho sentite di migliori. Il pomodoro forse è l'ingrediente peggiore, di un sapore un pò forte per una pizza. Complessivamente quindi il giudizio è positivo e visto che le migliori pizzerie sono in centro, qui sicuramente non c'è il problema del parcheggio.Appuntamento Pizzahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17421076331335086569noreply@blogger.com0Via Edoardo Detti, 50143 Florence, Italy43.7652456 11.19571010000004243.7638806 11.194983100000043 43.7666106 11.196437100000042tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6046859309110655908.post-54496960546072149312011-12-13T23:00:00.000-08:002011-12-19T09:25:44.836-08:00Fratelli Briganti<div><br />

This place was packed, but it wasn't for the pizza! The crust was thin and chewy underneath a thick layer of no-way-is-this-mozzarella. The face of the pizza shone with stomach-flopping greasiness, oil was just seeping out of the cheesy pores. I really enjoyed sitting next to the kitchen, though. There's a big window/door where you can see the three chefs at work, and I liked that they didn't have anything to hide, not even the fact that their pizza was just an afterthought.<br />

La pizza non c'èntra niente con i Briganti, le specialità della casa sono altre. Sembra quasi che a loro la pizza non interessi, solo così si spiega la base poco cotta: sembra una piccolezza, ma per questo è immangiabile. Quello che sta sopra la base è altrettanto immangiabile: uno strato di pseudo mozzarella gommosa di sapore strano ricopre il tutto. Il pomodoro è impercettibile. Il tutto condito con eccesso d'olio, che si vede galleggiare. Insomma, si salvi chi può!Appuntamento Pizzahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17421076331335086569noreply@blogger.com0Piazza Giovanbattista Giorgini, 12-red, 50134 Florence, Italy43.7924816 11.25071439999999343.7924756 11.250710399999992 43.7924876 11.250718399999993tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6046859309110655908.post-29088527965436687512011-12-06T23:00:00.000-08:002011-12-08T05:23:51.278-08:00Il Vecchio E Il Mare<div><br />

Ah, yes, The Old Man and The Sea. After almost two years of pizza reviews, I feel much like Hemingway's seasoned fisherman: I've been a long time without a good pizza and I can spot a feisty one from afar. This pizza emerged from the kitchen without even a basil leaf to detract from its brutality. The crust was thick and fresh, but it desperately needed salt, as did the tomato sauce, which, in such abundance, sat coagulating in a pool formed by the high crusts. It was a struggle, but in the end it was I who was conqueror! And the search continues... <br />

Ci hanno provato a fare una pizza alla napoletana, è anche bella a vedersi, come i quadri appesi che raffigurano immagini tratte da "Il vecchio e il mare": in particolare io ero seduto davanti alla barca un pò inclinata arenata sulla spiaggia, molto evocativa. Ma mentre il romanzo si distingue per la sua crude realtà, la pizza così bella al vedersi crolla al primo boccone, soprattutto per la scarsa qualità del pomodoro, che è pure dosato in modo eccessivo, per la mozzarella che sa di poco e per il sapore dolciastro complessivo. La crosta risulta un pò pastosa, ma è il male minore.Appuntamento Pizzahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17421076331335086569noreply@blogger.com0Via Vincenzo Gioberti, 61, 50121 Florence, Italy43.7701419 11.2761688000000512.396007899999997 -48.48945619999995 75.1442759 71.04179380000005tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6046859309110655908.post-52700492993176102902011-11-29T23:00:00.000-08:002011-12-04T12:25:52.512-08:00Il Conte Ugolino<div><br />

Il Conte Ugolino gifted me my first positive experience with Groupon. It started with the coccoli which were served with prosciutto crudo and stracchino cheese and was supposed to end with coffee, but when we opted to skip the caffeine, they offered us slices of their delicious desserts instead! And somewhere in the middle there we ate our pizzas and gulped down huge cokes. I ordered the Campagnola (Mushrooms, Sausage and Olives) and Fabio got the Capricciosa (Without Pig Parts). The toppings were plentiful but diced, and anytime you put small bits in a reddish cheesiness you risk creating that regurgitated look which, of course, is somewhat unappetizing. But, atop a crunchy crust of larger-than-average diameter, it didn't taste anything like what it looked like...so that was good! <br />

I Giuggiolo is famous for its delicious coccoli and for its mediocre pizza. But I didn't think it was that bad. Undoubtedly, its appearance could have used some sprucing up (see photo). However, despite not knowing where the sauce ended and the cheese began and a hint of tartness in the tomato, the pizza had an overall good flavor. The crust was thin and crunchy with absolutely no burnt spots and the porcini were soft and tasty. You could definitely eat worse... <br />

Pizzeria sempre piena di gente, è l'opposto del tipo di pizza che offre: è bassa, ma è un basso strano, perchè sembra secca, una pasta privata dell'anima, rimane solo l'involucro. Sopra la pasta ci dovrebbero essere la mozzarella e il pomodoro che formano dei rilievi, invece è una tavola piatta; i due ingredienti sono difficili da distinguere, sembra un ingrediente unico di un colore che di certo non invita, che non trasmette il sapore di freschezza. Eppure a qualcuno piacerà, è la dimostrazione che nella vita si deve osare, qualcuno che ti stima lo trovi sempre.Appuntamento Pizzahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17421076331335086569noreply@blogger.com0Viale Augusto Righi, 3, 50137 Florence, Italy43.7851214 11.29356510000002312.417366900000001 -48.47205989999998 75.1528759 71.05919010000002tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6046859309110655908.post-70931567378950630812011-11-15T22:00:00.000-08:002011-11-18T07:05:06.117-08:00Pizzeria Pepe<div><br />

I ate half of my Pepe's pizza, and then I just had to stop. The crust was thin, but not crunchy. It wasn't soggy either; it was chewy, spongy even. The tomato sauce was just <i>there</i> without a good or a bad flavor and the cheese was nauseating after the pizza started to cool. The porcini were cut in thin slices and they were soft and good. The pizza at Pepe's is expensive and the quality isn't very high.<br />

Prezzi alti, qualità bassa: o il gestore è un genio della finanza o la pizza non è il piatto forte della casa. In genere le pizze insufficienti sono di 2 tipi: quelle che non sanno di niente e quelle che hanno un cattivo sapore. Da Pepe siamo decisamente nel secondo caso: la crosta è molliccia, il pomodoro ce ne è poco e non sa di niente, ma il vero problema è la pseudo mozzarella, che già dal colore viene il dubbio su come chiamarla. Il sapore complessivo della pizza fa si che non si ha una gran voglia di tornare, ma di uscire di fretta per dimenticare.Appuntamento Pizzahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17421076331335086569noreply@blogger.com0Via Antonio Pacinotti, 5, 50131 Florence, Italy43.7834289 11.27211450000004343.782886899999994 11.271647000000044 43.7839709 11.272582000000043tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6046859309110655908.post-67483960629922952072011-11-08T23:30:00.000-08:002011-11-13T06:14:01.374-08:00Pizzaballa<div><br />

Pizzeria under a tent? Yes, but there's also a sturdier structure there on the left. It's a pizzeria in a sports complex of sorts, and is, therefore, extremely casual, cheap and friendly. In fact, the waiter and the cook are Santa Clauses dressed as pizza men who politely push you to eat more prosciutto crudo - and any kind of cheese they can find in the kitchen - with your coccoli (fried bread dumplings). The food was reminiscent of the grocery store freezer aisle. That is to say, everything had that pre-made and nuked-in-the-microwave kind of look. The pizzas were thin and crunchy. The mozzarella wasn't bad. But that's where the semi-good comments end. My grilled vegetables (eggplant, bell peppers and asparagus) were indeed grilled, but only after they had been lifted from the pickling vat. They were so drenched in vinegar that I had to peel them off and I later suffered a heartburn so strong I thought I was having a heart attack. And the panna cotta (cooked cream) dessert was just a slice of solidified snot! <br />

Difficile dare un giudizio perchè il locale è annesso ai campi di calcetto, il che rende l'ambiente molto alla mano, che è positivo, ma un pò improvvisato. I prezzi sono molto bassi, quindi c'è una sana consapevolezza dell'offerta: la pizza non ha ingredienti malvagi, è bassa e biscottata, però sembra fatta in casa, non credo ci sia il forno a legna. Comunque non è peggiore di molte altre pizze a Firenze, potrebbero benissimo alzare i prezzi, anche perchè mentre si mangia può capitare la fortuna di vedermi giocare.Appuntamento Pizzahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17421076331335086569noreply@blogger.com0Via Arcangelo Corelli, 17, 50127 Florence, Italy43.7909657 11.21623690000001343.7908337 11.215707900000012 43.7910977 11.216765900000013tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6046859309110655908.post-19729759559468689572011-11-01T23:00:00.000-07:002011-11-18T07:09:18.301-08:00Pizza à Foho<div><br />

I ate at this place a couple of years ago, but back then it had another name. We came here because I had a nice memory of a menu with like four pages of pizzas to choose from. But things have changed. Under new management, this pizzeria now serves up only a handful of pizzas, none of which sounded particularly appetizing. The pizza wasn't bad, but it really didn't have much flavor. The crust was ok, but saltless. The tomato sauce came in the right amount, but tasteless. The mushrooms on my pizza were practically raw, and they were fairly skimpy with the mozzarella. I hope this place changes names and menus again soon! <br />

Nel menù c'è poca scelta per le pizze, buon segno: di solito le pizzerie che adottano questa strategia sono consapevoli delle loro capacità e non hanno bisogno di proporne 30 tipi con nomi astrusi. Se una pizza è buona basta la forma base; purtroppo qui avrebbe bisogno di essere coperta il più possibile da ingredienti molto saporiti! Infatti, quando ho visto su un altro tavolo a che cosa sarei andato incontro, ho cercato invano nel menù una capricciosa, ma non l'ho trovata. Allora, per farmi del male, ho optato per una margherita e il risultato è stato prevedibile: mozzarella e pomodoro insapori, poco sale e crosta biscottata. Mi chiedo: dato che hanno appena aperto, ma che senso ha proporre una pizza così dato che Firenze ne è già piena?Appuntamento Pizzahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17421076331335086569noreply@blogger.com0Viale Corsica, 2, 50127 Florence, Italy43.7895619 11.23923909999996312.423699400000004 -48.52638590000004 75.1554244 71.00486409999996tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6046859309110655908.post-52237816597989785042011-10-25T22:45:00.000-07:002011-11-06T01:35:47.705-08:00Da Tito - I Setti Peccati<div><br />

I Setti Peccati is the second branch within the Da Tito chain that we've reviewed, the first being Il Sesto Girone. I can't wait to go to I Peccati di Gola and to the newest location opening in Egypt! My experience here was equal to the one I had at Il Sesto Girone, I could have just copied and pasted the review: largest circumference of any single-eater pizza I've seen in Florence, best thin/crunchy crust ever (even if there were some burnt spots), soft and large porcini, big and salty hunks of sausage, whole olives...boscaiola pizzas are my favorite, but the ingredient combination in this version is soooo YUM! <br />

Quando ero andato al Sesto Girone, che fa parte della stessa proprietà, avevo preso la Margherita a pasta alta e non mi era piaciuta, per cui questa volta ho ordinato quella tradizionale, che è molto sottile e grande. E' così sottile che la pasta è come se non avesse consistenza, anche perchè mi è sembrata mancante di un pò di sale. Gli ingredienti non sono male, ma il sapore complessivo è anonimo, sotto tono, impalpabile.Appuntamento Pizzahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17421076331335086569noreply@blogger.com0Via Taddeo Alderotti, 87, 50139 Florence, Italy43.799209 11.2459543999999612.437456999999998 -48.51967060000004 75.160961 71.01157939999996tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6046859309110655908.post-17743451742247372112011-10-18T22:45:00.000-07:002011-10-26T10:59:14.433-07:00Corcky il Re della Pizza<div><br />

As Grouponers, we were told that our first pizza would be a margherita (non-negotiable), and that after that we would be able to order only one pizza at a time, from the first two sections of pizzas. Of course, my top picks, the Boscaiola and the Porcini, were in the prohibited third section. The Margherita wasn't too bad: thin crust, good tomato sauce, the mozzarella a little sketchy, but overall good flavor. It's what you'd expect from delivery pizza, maybe a bit better (Corcky's <i>does</i> do deliveries). Then we got the Capricciosa minus the prosciutto, and the tomato sauce seemed different, not as good. The artichokes, olives and mushrooms were plentiful and tasty enough, but...not especially impressive. We wrapped things up with some mediocre cheesecake and only ONCE did they bring the wrong pizza to the table...unlike our previous Groupon experience.<br />

When we walked in, I suspected Il Borgo to become my new favorite pizza place. It has a comfy, pub-like feel: small and jam-packed with high wooden tables and stools, dimmed lights, sounds of conversation coming from the regulars. I loved the atmosphere, and hoped I would feel the same about the pizza...The crust was super delicious. You might question that, seeing the burnt spots. But, they peeled off easily and didn't ruin the flavor. I got the Calabrese (Spicy Salami, Onions and Bell Peppers), thinking the salami was going to be that large, hot and zesty kind, instead it was that half-dollar sized, tastes-like-wet-dog kind...so that was a bummer; they had to be picked off. The onions and red and yellow peppers were yummy, the mozzarella was ok (except in the spots where the dog had lain), and the tomato sauce wasn't overpowering. It was one rung above your average pizza, but at the top of the ladder for pizzerias. <br />

Quando ho visto l'ambiente alla mano, posate e piatti di plastica, tovaglioli di carta, tavoli di grandezza e altezza diversa accatastati l'uno accanto all'altro e personale del sud, ho iniziato a pregustarmi il sapore di una pizza di alto livello nella mia bocca: l'arte nasce dal caos, non dall'ordine. La mia teoria si è rafforzata quando è arrivata una bella margherita con una crosta alta e croccante, ma poi il tracollo: la mozzarella non era all'altezza e neanche il pomodoro. L'ho notato subito dai colori non accesi e poi dal sapore, non cattivo, ma niente di speciale. Peccato, sarebbe stata una piacevole sorpresa. Considerato però che non hanno il forno a legna, ma quello elettrico, il risultato non è male.Appuntamento Pizzahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17421076331335086569noreply@blogger.com0Borgo San Frediano, 102, 50124 Florence, Italy43.7702119 11.24154469999996343.7701444 11.241236199999964 43.7702794 11.241853199999962tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6046859309110655908.post-20112964533649822182011-10-04T22:45:00.000-07:002011-10-10T10:14:55.709-07:00Re Joy<div><br />

I believe it was our elite status as Grouponers combined with the poor service at Re Joy that made our nearly 3-hour pizzeria spectacle possible. We were seated in a hidden corner and told that some crostini would arrive shortly. A good half-hour later, the host returned, saying we could choose from any of the pizzas for our "all you can eat" deal, except for the pies with seafood. That was fine, I don't like that junk on my pizza even if it's free. Our assorted crostini with mushrooms, tomatoes, and the odd ground beef came after another 20 minutes, and at that point, we took the opportunity to order. The waitress explained that Fabio's 'Smells of the Woods' pizza would come with bits of tartufo and porcini, but that they didn't have any asparagus. Well, ok, you don't normally find asparagus growing wild in the forest anyway. I decided to go with the Boscaiolo: porcini, sausage, olives and oregano. At least an hour later, our pizzas came, and mine had apparently lost its porcini on its way from the kitchen. I was super disappointed until Fabio gave me a few of his; it only took a few seconds to understand why he was so generous: <i>DISGUSTING!</i> The pizzas had thin crusts, which I can't complain too much about. The tomato sauce was good, but the mozzarella was certainly below average. We wanted to clean our plates so that we could get more pizza for our money, but I was doing good to stuff 3/4 of mine down. I was ready to leave, but Fabio wanted to try a special kind of margherita. This time he actually had to get up and search for a waiter. We learned the pizzeria was now out of mozzarella di bufala. Laughably ridiculous (...and I almost forgot to mention that not once, but twice, they brought other people's pizzas to our table)! So, Fabio ate a calzone instead, while I watched on with thirst because, unfortunately, it wasn't an 'all you can drink' deal. <br />

L'unica parte positiva è il pomodoro, ha un buon sapore: la mozzarella non sa di mozzarella ed è dura, gommosa, mi sono ritrovato a scansarla come fosse un ingrediente di troppo, come se scartandola si potesse migliorare il resto.

Hard to believe, but, not far from the train station, past the cheap luggage and trashy clothes stores, just across the street from the SEXY shop, in the heart of the sketchy-even-before-dark Piazza Indipendenza, you <i>can</i> eat a decent pizza. It won't be a pretty pizza. There's no basil garnish. There are no thick globs of half-melted mozzarella. But you can sit outside in the garden and be served a non-burnt, medium-thick crust pizza atop which peanut-sized shreds of cheese merge with an indistinct tomato sauce to create a flavor that's not too shabby.<br />

Non si può che apprezzare, più che la pizza, il pizzaiolo: infatti, nonostante gli ingredienti non siano di qualità e la pizza abbia l'atmosfera tipica delle pizzerie del centro, il risultato è passabile. La crosta è bassa, ma sul croccante; il pomodoro e la mozzarella sono in una quantità tale, e insaporiti in un modo, che la loro presenza non emerge più di tanto. Di conseguenza uno si mangia la sua pizza tranquillamente e il pensiero vola via altrove.Appuntamento Pizzahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17421076331335086569noreply@blogger.com0Piazza dell'Indipendenza, 3, 50129 Florence, Italy43.7793475 11.25424640000005643.6554065 11.020786900000056 43.9032885 11.487705900000057tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6046859309110655908.post-40413603339354267212011-09-20T22:45:00.000-07:002011-09-21T12:00:58.217-07:00La Capponcina di Settignano<div><br />

At La Capponcina, I had some of the most delicious porcini I have ever eaten. The slices were large, soft and bountiful. Sadly, the rest of the pizza didn't quite follow suit. The mozzarella was good enough, the crust was ok/nothing special, and the tomato sauce had a strange tang to it. If I had eaten only the Margherita, I may have been disappointed. Thank goodness for mushrooms!<br />

In quel di Settignano si mangia una buona pizza. Non è stile napoli, è un pò più sul basso e croccante, ma non sottile. La mozzarella è discreta, il pomodoro non risalta, ma non peggiora. Ho anche assaggiato un pezzo con i porcini ed avevano un buon sapore.

Trade out the oregano for some basil, and I would bump the score up a notch. I Templari's prices might be a tad higher than average, but their pizza is better than most too. Great crust, right amount of sauce, quality mozzarella, soft porcini, and friendly staff.<br />

Purtroppo, anche se è veramente soggettivo, c'è l'origano al posto del basilico: personalmente non capisco come si possa mettere l'origano, che ha un sapore troppo forte per una pizza, però so che ad altri piace così, magari potrebbero chiedere al momento dell'ordinazione.

In mathematics, two negatives don't make a positive, and the same is true for pizza. Vecchio Carlino boasts a Neapolitan margherita with "doppia pasta, doppia mozzarella", but if you're doubling tastless dough and cheap, nasty cheese...a gross ingredient plus another one isn't going to make a delicious, or even an edible, pizza. Not only that, they were skimpy with the tomato sauce too, which made it impossible to wash down more than about half the pizza. Routine, dispirited eating.<br />

Però, dato che questa freschezza non la trovo quasi mai, se non in poche pizzerie, inizio a pensare che i pizzaioli sbaglino qualche cosa, perchè mi sembra strano che a Firenze quasi tutti usino ingredienti non di qualità. In particolare, in questa pizzeria, è la mozzarella che da alla pizza un sapore non buono, che la rende immangiabile appena diventa meno calda, il pomodoro sarebbe accettabile.Appuntamento Pizzahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17421076331335086569noreply@blogger.com0Viale Fratelli Rosselli, 15, 50144 Florence, Italy43.7779458 11.2391336000000612.407134799999998 -48.52649139999994 75.1487568 71.00475860000006tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6046859309110655908.post-86453946185746582702011-08-30T22:45:00.000-07:002011-09-04T03:19:10.784-07:00Regina Margherita<div><br />

With a name like Regina Margherita, I was hoping for more. More than the free champagne before dinner, more than the free dessert offered afterwards. Maybe I'm just too demanding. But, the extras aren't what make the pizza better...The crust was good: really hot, crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. More mozzarella would have been nice, and it could have been tastier. The tomato sauce was the worst. There was way too much of it, and the flavor was too strong. The porcini mushrooms were just so-so. Not taking the pizza into consideration, the experience was quite pleasant. I didn't see the inside of the restaurant, but the patio seating was enjoyable. <br />

Having gotten off the plane from the USA only a few hours earlier and with an empty kitchen welcoming me home, I ordered a 'meat and potatoes' pizza thinking I would be able to quench my starvation with the best of both worlds. Bad idea. I sort of forgot that I don't really like provola, at least not in such gigantic quantities. And the salsiccia wasn't the large crumbles of pink meat that I was expecting, but diced-up pieces of tube sausage. Bleh. Completely disregarding the large areas of burnt crust and the fact that I left more than half the pizza on my plate, I would venture to say that if I had chosen a different pizza I might have given Acasamia a higher score. In addition, the liter bottle of Coca-Cola, which was the same price as two 330mL cans, was certainly a nice reminder of the free refills back home. <br />

Bounty: above average pizza for a pub; average pizza for a pizzeria. Be aware that the pizza looks better than it tastes. The large amount of cheese, which <i>may</i> have been mozzarella, was pleasing at first, but turned out to be a pinch excessive. It was difficult to understand exactly what I didn't like about this pizza, but something left me dissatisfied. I'm guessing it's not bad if you combine it with some beer, plus you can eat it in a boat!<br />

L'idea era buona, ma era impossibile respirarci...in ogni caso andarci a mangiare la pizza mi è sembrato una cosa strana, le pizze dei pub sono giusto per riempirsi lo stomaco a tarda serata. Se valuto da questa prospettiva la pizza è buona, è superiore a molte pizzerie tradizionali; ma se mi sono sbagliato fin dall'inizio, cioè il Bounty nasce come pizzeria, ora capisco perchè è diventato famoso come pub!Appuntamento Pizzahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17421076331335086569noreply@blogger.com0Via Aretina, 139, 50136 Florence, Italy43.7690194 11.2881939000000112.394407399999999 -48.47743109999999 75.1436314 71.05381890000001tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6046859309110655908.post-9699239122568113562011-07-19T22:00:00.000-07:002011-07-24T02:32:03.918-07:00Cotta A Puntino<div><br />

The pizzas were made by two young women and served by the pleasant owner(?)/waiter. The place is small, but it was busy and the wait was longer than usual. Everyone ordered the coccole, so I think we missed out on something...My pizza was pretty much perfect: the thin crust had the right amount of crunch and chew, the poricini were soft, the sausage was sprinkled on in small pieces and it wasn't undercooked, and there wasn't too much tomato sauce. My pizza could have used a tad more cheese, but I was satisfied with the way it was. <br />

E ogni volta succede sempre la stessa cosa: l'unica differenza è la pasta doppia...questo rende la pizza pesante, a differenza dell'originale in cui la crosta sembra alta, ma in realtà dovrebbe essere molto soffice. E soprattutto la vera pizza napoletana dovrebbe puntare alla qualità degli ingredienti, in cui si distingue un buon pomodoro dalla mozzarella distribuita a pezzi. Invece qui è uno strato uniforme tipo pellicola, con un sapore discutibile.

Thinking we had perhaps found a cozy, hidden gem in a side alley, I was flabbergasted to discover Finisterrae not only has an interior garden and several rooms, but also an extra entrance in Piazza Santa Croce. Thank goodness the pricing is more fitting for its discreet entrance on Via dei Pepi, than for its flamboyant terrace-seating in the square! Unfortunately, Finisterrae's pizza reflects more the experience-seeking tourist than the quality-seeking resident (or pizza critic). A prominent differentiating feature between American and Italian pizzas is...the juice. Good Italian pizzas are always a bit on the sloshy (not to be confused with greasy!) side. And I have to say I slightly panicked when I cut into this pizza and there were absolutely no signs of moisture. Even the tomato sauce looked like it was dehydrating on the burnt crust. Other panic points: over-salted crust, super-powerful and disgusting tomato sauce, strangely thick and dry "mozzarella", and numerous burnt spots throughout. I don't think I've ever seen Fabio NOT finish a pizza. So, there you go. Cute place though. <br />

It's funny to me that at Il Pipistrello one must specifically order the "little mouthfuls" of mozzarella to come with the Margherita. Aren't they, like, um, the most obvious ingredient? <i>Margerita con Bocconcini di Fiordilatt</i>e is redundant, and there should be no difference between it and the ordinary <i>Margherita</i>. I shouldn't be so sarcastic,though, because as this blog has shown, many pizzerias in Florence make Margheritas that look like the one in the right of this photo (the <i>plain</i> Margherita): skimpy on the cheese, which mixes with the tomato sauce like scum on pond water. At least Il Pipistrello gives one a choice, for a higher price of course, even if it seems absurd, like asking for ice water in an American restaurant: you just don't have to, because it's always "a given". The pizzas were thin, but chewy. Not much flavor. Not gross, but not delicious. The one with more mozzarella was decidedly better, but I like cheese. <br />

I can see how an amateur/distracted analyzer of pizza could think La Piperna serves up a decent one. Look at the photo of the Verace (same as the Margherita only it's made with bufala rather than fiordilatte): it's a good-looking pizza! But, looks aren't everything. The crust was tough and flavorless. The amount of tomato sauce was out of control. And, the underside of my pizza was burnt. I like basil, but I could have done without the entire branches they put on mine. The mozzarella on both pizzas was good, but seemingly scarce. Too bad, because at first sight, I thought it could be love.<br />

If a pizza is super thin, it should have a rather long diameter or else it is just a snack and not a meal. The pizza at L'Antica Badia isn't thick, and the size is disappointingly average. I like a thin pizza, but this one was, perhaps, undercooked. It wasn't crunchy. The flavor was good enough, and the mozzarella, at least, made it into separate piles instead of the light dusting we're used to seeing. It was choked down easier than most.<br />

La Ghiotta: super friendly staff, far-from-super pizza. The crust was thin and crunchy, the best part of the pizza. The mozzarella was flavorless and scarce, the tomato sauce tasted straight from the can. The two were blended together in the unappetizing, yet typical, mess that characterizes pizzerias especially in the center of Florence. Toppings help, but not enough. <br />

The pizza at Il Purgatorio has potential. I remember saying that before about Pizzeria Spera, and, in fact, the pizzas are somewhat similar. Both have thick, saltless crusts. And they <i>could</i> be so much more! At Purgatorio, they could be a little more generous with, yes, the salt, but also the mozzarella. Even the tomato sauce was a bit lacking. I felt like I was just gnawing on some flavorless, chewy bread. The crust was strange with some parts having a rubbery/waxy or undercooked look, while other parts were super burnt. Don't know how they pulled that off! The devil must have been fooling around with that pitchfork! A fitting name for this pizzeria: it's not hell, but it certainly is no heaven either.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div>La buona volontà c'è: vogliono fare una pizza stile Napoli e la strada è quella, cioè crosta alta e ingredienti con una loro dignità. Quando abbiamo ordinato la pizza, il gestore ci ha chiesto, con un mezzo sorriso, se andava bene l'impasto a lievitazione naturale, per mostrare la sua conoscenza tecnica su come si fa la vera pizza. Poi però tra il dire e il fare...la crosta è alta, è in effetti la parte più buona, ma c'è qualcosa che non torna con il sale. La mozzarella è insapore e poca, il pomodoro niente di eccezionale. Si mangia così la pizza senza avvertire bene il sapore, non sa di fresco, non si capisce bene, è anonima.

We had the misfortune of entering just as the <i>Jersey Shore</i> crew was exiting. My camera was spotted and I was warned to not take photos of the cast. <i>Please.</i> A half-drunk cast member was sitting outside on the stoop, sipping his beer and explaining to two girls in broken Italian how he is 'famoso in...come si dice everywhere?' Thankfully that was <i>before</i> we had eaten. And for a pizzeria in the dead center of town (where MTV reality shows choose to shoot), it wasn't too shabby. The mozzarella was gummy, but plentiful and in actual balls. The crust had a good, sweetish flavor, but also it was on the chewy side. We split our regular Margherita and a Toscana (a "white" pizza with garlic, parsley and porcini), chosen from a long list of options. The Margherita's tomato sauce was strangely tangy and the parsley on the Toscana was super powerful (not in a good way). For a touristy, "Americanized" place, you're not going to get any better, and it's going to be difficult to find another pizzeria selling T-shirts...of which all the <i>Jersey Shore</i> peeps were sporting. <br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div>In pieno centro, a due passi da Via Calzaiuoli, ecco un buon posto dove mangiare una pizza che, alla lontana, ricorda quella che si può trovare a Napoli. Il locale è molto informale, ambiente giovane, posate di plastica, quando la pizza è pronta qualcuno inizia a urlare il tuo nome e te la vai a prendere per portartela al tavolo. In effetti i prezzi sono bassi proprio per questo. La pizza è di quelle con crosta alta, buona anche se tendente al gommoso appena non calda. Anche pomodoro e mozzarella sono buoni ma non ottimi, in particolare il pomodoro un pò troppo forte. Però visto che è in una zona dove in genere le pizze sono di plastica, pensare che i turisti possano capitarci per caso mi fa pensare a quale differenze di giudizio possano avere quando ritornano nei loro paesi, sempre che abbiano la capacità di distinguere.Appuntamento Pizzahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17421076331335086569noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6046859309110655908.post-26613528501790557162011-05-24T22:00:00.000-07:002011-05-31T14:34:58.350-07:00Vecchio Casale<div><br />

I was enjoying the patio at Vecchio Casale until the combination of an overhang and some tall bushes formed an inescapable cage for a cancer cloud. We were the only ones outside NOT smoking. We decided to split one of the four "Top" pizzas and a regular Margherita. The Vecchio Casale had porcini, parmesan, and olives, and only when it came to the table did we realize we had ordered a "white" pizza, without tomato sauce. The parmesan came in large chunks, which made the pizza rich and over-filling. The crust was good, and the pizza had a nice flavor, but without tomato sauce, a pizza doesn't feel very pizza-y to me. The Margherita was definitely <i>not</i> a "Top" pizza. Why bother making anything but? I don't understand. I barely touched my half of it.<br />

Ho provato anche una di quelle che chiamano "Pizza Top", sono quattro nel menù, con una preparazione dell'impasto diversa rispetto alle pizze normali.

Ciri Be' is a spacious restaurant with plenty of outdoor seating. The staff are friendly and cater to families. The atmosphere was similar to a community sagra, and I like that. The pizza was ugly, but the ugly tasted unexpectedly good! The crust was burnt along the edges, but it didn't produce the typical bad flavor. The mozzarella swirled in the tomato sauce seemed thicker and fresher than other pizzas employing the same, tired look. I was surprised when, halfway through, I was still enjoying eating; I usually can't finish a pizza that comes to the table looking that <i>yuck</i>.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div>Diviso da una rete a un circolo che sventola bandiere del Pd, prende quell'atmosfera anche la pizza: ci si aspettano sapori genuini, porzioni abbondanti, prezzario diviso per fasce di reddito, clima casalingo lontano dal lusso della Destra esibizionista. Invece, come il Pd, tanta aspettativa è ripagata con una pizza scadente, soprattutto il pomodoro, troppo rosso e quindi di un sapore forte (in questo caso non è un bene) mozzarella mediocre (forse non amano il bianco del Pdl), la crosta bassa un pò bruciacchiata e biscottata.

Zocchi is a huge, window-filled restaurant overlooking the hilly and treed peripherals of the Villa Demidoff. Nice location, poor presentation...at least when it comes to the pizza. I instinctively distrusted the lack of experience of the two youngsters who manned the pizza oven, and wasn't surprised when my pizza arrived looking like a crust somebody had puked on and plopped in the oven. The chunks of porcini made it appear even more unappetizing. The tomato sauce came on too strong, and the mozzarella was flavorless. The crust wasn't unsalvageable, but there were quite a number of burnt spots. My advice: skip the pizza if you're eating at Zocchi.<br />

There's little standing room and no place to sit at Pulcinella's, but the park nearby makes a great picnic spot! For a take-away pizza place, or any pizza place for that matter, the quality and the deliciousness are really outstanding! There are several pizzas to choose from; the Pulcinella (with mushrooms, artichokes, olives and yellow bell peppers) was my selection. The mozzarella was plentiful and had the perfect amount of gumminess, the toppings were generous and tasty...my only complaint is that there were a few burnt spots on the crust.

It was a good sign when the server walked by with someone else's pizza and I saw that the mozzarella and the tomato sauce showed a distinct separation. With that, Il Clarinetto had already earned an above average score. Fabio and I shared a Margherita and a Margherita with porcini added. Sadly, the porcini were kind of hard. The crust was thin and slightly undercooked. I would have preferred it either a bit thicker or a bit crunchier. But, ho hum. The tomato sauce had an over-cooked, over-spiced taste to it that I didn't care for. The mozzarella, however, was really yummy. OK, but nothing much to toot your clarinet over.<br />

My gut told me that the Margherita would be a mistake, and after seeing Fabio's, I was relieved I had listened to the voice of reason and Boscaiolo (Porcini, Olive, and Peperoncino). The other ingredients on my pizza had helped to avoid the creation of that swirl of cheese and tomato that I whole-stomachly detest. The porcini and olives were fine, but the pizza had an overall juvenile-type feel, like a pizza you make at home after school. The tomato sauce tasted raw, lacking any added flavors, and the salt in the crust was obvious and...amateur. <br />

Questa cosa inizia a innervosirmi perchè ci vedo premeditazione, non semplicemente incapacità: fanno apposta una margherita insapore, bassa, con un sottile strato di mozzarella che non sa di niente, così sei portato a prendere le altre pizze molto più care. Addirittura la mia Margherita aveva meno mozzarella del Boscaiolo presa da Annie!

I love Strapizzami. If you're craving a pizza with other-than-the-ordinary toppings, it is the place to go. I usually get a pizza with Zucca Gialla and Patate, but I'm also fond of the Broccoli and Fonduta. They have what's called the "Magnum" - a pizza large enough to share, with your choice of toppings on each half. You can eat it at one of the few bars seats or take it home. You can also just grab a slice to go. And you can catch a glimpse of a soccer match while you wait, which is never too long. The crust is slightly sweet and thick, and the ingredients taste of quality and freshness. I'll admit the gal at the cash register can be intimidating, but agree with her that regular coke is better for you than the lower-calorie options, and she'll greet you with a smile from there on out. <br />

La pizza è un pò alta, come piace a me, e gli ingredienti abbastanza buoni, però erano sapori che non si amalgamavano tra di loro. Il sapore finale non mi convinceva.

I thought I'd just about familiarized myself with all the types of pizza to be had in Florence, but Borgo Antico offered something I wasn't expecting...a crunchy thick-crust! And it was...weird, and I'm fairly certain it was also a mistake. The crust was stiff and difficult to eat. It wasn't bad, but I definitely wouldn't say it's my preference...and there were the infamous burnt spots. It could have been a lot worse, though. <br />

Mi è capitato a volte di trovare pizze con crosta un pò biscottata, ma qui siamo all'eccesso, è tutta così. Credo che se uno la tiene dalla crosta rimane rigida come un piatto. La crosta tra l'altro è pure alta, infatti l'aspetto è di quelle che piacciano a me; ma una crosta alta biscottata è dura da mangiare! Peccato perchè gli ingredienti non erano male, anche se la mozzarella è proprio un velo, si valuta difficilmente.

At least in this case, traveling to the borders of Florence didn't get us any closer to locating a better pizza. Fabio and I shared a pizza with porcini and our usual Margherita...The porcini were nice and soft, and the crusts weren't bad. But we were faced, yet again, with the boring cheese/tomato mix blanketing the pizza. And this might be the American consumer in me talking, but...if the Fiesolana costs 10 euro, and we take off the prosciutto cotto, shouldn't we be charged a bit less? (Or maybe the cotto is just that worthless?) <br />

A little too much dough for the dough if you ask me! Pantarei's pizzas are rather expensive (7.50 euro for the Margherita), but what I'm really complaining about is the amount of dough in the pizza! The pizzas are smaller than average and all of their weight is in the crust, one of the densest, most-filling and tasteless I've had in Florence. The first couple of bites were satisfying, but by midway I was tired of the slightly-burnt crust, the excess tomato sauce, and the gumminess of the mozzarella. <br />

Tito's has <i>the best</i> thin-crust pizza I've eaten in Florence. If you don't like thin-crusts because you want more than a cracker with cheese on it for dinner and hate to leave the table still starving - go to Tito's where your pizza (with generous toppings) won't even fit on your plate until there's just a third of it left. I ended up giving two pieces to Fabio, or I wouldn't have finished...I got the Boscaiolo (Porcini, Olives and Sausage), and the mushrooms were soft, the olives were whole, and the pieces of sausage were a little bit less than bite-size: YUM. <br />

When we sat down, the guys next to us had just finished their pizzas and had ordered two more. And when their pizzas came, I was envious that they weren't ours. What a relief! After weeks of chewless swallowing to avoid the grossness from saturating my mouth, finally a pizza was set before me (by a friendly and funny waiter) that appeared both edible and appetizing! Sure, there was hardly a bite of crust that wasn't burnt, and the tomato sauce was rather acidic...but what I appreciated most, after weeks of deprivation, were the sauce-distinguishable clumps of mozzarella: it looked, smelled and almost tasted like a <i>real</i> pizza. <br />

If a pizzeria offers a Margherita and a Margherita con Bufala, do I really have to order the Bufala to be taken seriously as a pizza consumer?! In most Florentine pizzerias, including La Luna, if you take the cheaper, di-buffaloed option, you're going to get the dreaded puree of crap cheese and gag-inducing tomatoes. It has happened during the life of this blog time and time again! The pizzas at all the tables <i>except ours</i> seemed to be a step up from those we've been eating lately: crunchy/fluffy crust, separation of cheese and tomato, an appetizing appearance. But our pizzas were the same, boring clones lacking quality and goodness, full of burnt spots, and owning the incapacity to be entirely consumed. <br />

Credo che questa pizzeria possa piacere alle persone amanti della sperimentazione della pizza, cioè provarle condite in diversi modi. Per un amante della qualità come me, che prende la Margherita alla ricerca della freschezza degli ingredienti, è un disastro. Pizza bassa, pomodoro non buono con un sapore troppo forte, mozzarella modello strato uniforme. Che poi, stranamente, ha il classico sapore di tutte le altre Margherite delle altre pizzerie che la fanno simile a questa! Non lo so, un sapore antitetico al fresco, al genuino, amarognolo; insomma, non ti fa venire voglia di soffermarti sul sapore.Appuntamento Pizzahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17421076331335086569noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6046859309110655908.post-60759268607021276682011-02-22T22:30:00.000-08:002011-02-27T02:34:06.869-08:00Il Pallaio<div><br />

If cheese is your thing, Pallaio's your place. I love cheese and often mistakingly overindulge, but at Pallaio I stopped early. I was just full. I had barely made a dent in my pizza before it felt like all the wads of gum I've ever swallowed had vengefully united in the pit of my stomach. The worst thing was that I didn't even enjoy the generosity; the abundance of gum (err, cheese) didn't have much flavor. I'm wondering if I'd ordered something besides the Margherita if my vote would be any different. Maybe all that extra cheese was compensating for the absence of toppings! With that doubt, and because I like the atmosphere, I'll definitely give Pallaio another go. <br />

Per carità, ambiente carino, zona in cui si parcheggia bene, personale accogliente, prezzi buoni, ma la pizza non è un granché. Ho scelto doppia pasta, ma la pasta è l'unica cosa buona della pizza, la crosta si mangia bene. Il tutto però è rovinato dalla mozzarella, messa in modo troppo abbondante e di non alta qualità, che rende la pizza pesante. Le pizze più buone che ho mangiato, soprattutto a Napoli, che avevano veramente una mozzarella di alta qualità, la mettono in alcuni punti della pizza, non uno strato, forse per far risaltare anche il pomodoro. Strano, dovrebbe essere il contrario.Appuntamento Pizzahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17421076331335086569noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6046859309110655908.post-32431722801866935772011-02-15T22:30:00.000-08:002011-02-18T14:33:21.949-08:00Alla Corte dei Tre<div><br />

Take a gander at the pizza's photo, and then refer to the reviews of Re Matto, Antica Porta and Antica Pizzeria Nuti - pizzerias in the same league as Alla Corte dei Tre, all offering a thin-crust Margherita topped with the infamous vomit-swirl of a sickeningly bland tomato sauce and a cheese of ambiguous character. <br />

All'entrata ci sono al bancone in bella mostra delle mozzarelle, per cui ho ordinato con tranquillità e già pregustandomela la mia solita Margherita. All'arrivo mi si presenta una pizza modello sfoglia, cosa non buona per me, però va bè, questione di gusti. Mi colpisce la quantità di mozzarella, che ricopre tutta la pizza, quasi da non far vedere il pomodoro e a ricoprire parte della crosta. Quindi spalanco la bocca pronto ad assaporare l'esplosione di freschezza e genuinità che solo una mozzarella sa dare e invece...consistenza tipo gomma, sapore formaggio di bassa qualità. A quel punto, a ritrovarsi una pizza ricoperta in modo eccessivo di quella cosa gommosa, è stato un incubo da finire! Che soddisfazione all'ultimo boccone però.Appuntamento Pizzahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17421076331335086569noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6046859309110655908.post-28136320198959931952011-02-08T22:00:00.000-08:002011-02-13T05:26:37.645-08:00Rocco E I Suoi Fratelli<div><br />

This was my second visit to Rocco's, and like before, it was packed - which is usually an indicator of good eats. And they are, but a little pricey if you ask me. Fabio got the Margherita (with a thick crust for 2 euros extra) for 9 euros, while my thin crust Vegetariana (with eggplant, peppers, mushrooms, black olives, artichokes and potatoes) was a whopping 12 euros! That <i>might</i> have been fine if I had gotten what I paid for, but the pizzas were super smallish AND I have serious doubts that there was potato on my pizza...and loyal readers know how much I cherish potatoes on pizza. If you promise it, it had better be there!!! And, it could have been the combination of eggplant and artichokes, but there were bites of my pizza that tasted very fishy! Ewww! I wondered if they had maybe thrown some on by accident. That said, the crust and the mozzarella were good, and it was a satisfying pizza overall. <br />

Ambiente molto accogliente, informale, in cui ci si da del tu. La pizza l'ho scelta a doppia pasta e aveva il difetto tipico di quando si può scegliere, cioè la fanno a doppia pasta in senso letterale: ci si ritrova una pizza alta sia nella crosta che nella base, tipo schiacciata, mentre, secondo me, la crosta dovrebbe essere alta ma leggera, che si sciolga in bocca e la base non troppo pastosa. La mozzarella mi è piaciuta, si sentiva che era fresca, il pomodoro meno, ma comunque non male. Cosa strana in alcuni punti c'èra troppo sale in altri meno. E poi è uno spettacolo vedere il proprietario che è il sosia di Al Pacino!Appuntamento Pizzahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17421076331335086569noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6046859309110655908.post-66540123894331590952011-01-25T22:30:00.000-08:002011-01-30T05:25:31.913-08:00La Porta Verde<div><br />

I <i>might</i> have given La Porta Verde a higher vote just because I like the "birreria" atmosphere, but the pizza wasn't bad - and you don't have to be drinking for it to taste good! You can order a thick or a thin crust; I got the crunchy and Fabio went with the chewy. And, tired of my usual Margherita, I asked for the Contadina, and was quite pleased. Instead of the large hunks of dubiously pink meat, the sausage (and the mushrooms) on my pizza were, I could say, finely diced, and my pizza looked rather appetizing when it arrived. Fabio's Margherita, on the other hand, had the burnt-cheese, greasy look of Pizza Hut. There were a few dark spots on the crust, but the crunchiness was perfect and the flavor...delicious! We have to keep in mind, of course, that extra toppings have the potential to mask the quality of the basics: the crust, the sauce and the mozzarella. This could explain the discrepancy between my vote and Fabio's. I can say, though, that I wasn't disappointed at all! <br />

Una buona notizia per i viaggiatori! Pizza Hut è a Firenze! La storica catena di "pizza" famosa in America e in Europa non aveva mai avuto il coraggio di aprire in Italia, ma a Firenze non ci facciamo mancare niente! I colori sono gli stessi, con il formaggio (chissà se è mozzarella) con le tipiche bruciature sopra a macchiette, il sapore generale di qualcosa impregnato di olio, la crosta biscottata. Il pomodoro invece mi è parso di buona qualità. No, dai è meglio di pizza hut, ma quella non si può definire pizza.Appuntamento Pizzahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17421076331335086569noreply@blogger.com2
