La Bisboccia - what a great name for a pizzeria! It's fun to say, and 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'm 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. Quindi una pizza come ce ne sono tante, purtroppo.

Lanterna Blu: Another contender for the most disgusting pizza in Florence! Lanterna Blu might deserve the higher vote, though, since the atmosphere is about as appetizing as the pizza; the place smells so gross, I don’t know how we were able to eat. Surprisingly, you’re given the option of a thin or thick crust. Fabio took the thick, and I was hoping for a crunchy thin. Nope. The crust was chewy and spongy. The tomato sauce was not fresh. There was no basil. The mozzarella – if it was mozzarella – was so soupy it was more like cheese sauce. The salt was an afterthought on my pizza, as I could still see the grains sitting on the crust. And, it was horribly over-salted. Ekk! My face still grimaces thinking about it.

Sicuramente non ci si può lamentare di dover aspettare, dato che il locale era vuoto; è vero che era martedi, però brutto segno...è vero anche che si può scegliere la pizza alta o bassa senza differenza di prezzo, ma come questo, come abbiamo visto nelle altre pizzerie, non è un buon segno. Io l'ho presa a pasta alta, e forse era un pò troppo alta, con la crosta sembrava di mangiare un pezzo di schiacciata (buona però!). Mozzarella e pomodoro al limite della qualità. Il tutto con un eccesso di sale. Mah.
