A Hidden Gem for Pizza
Tucked away in Plaza Najori, Clandestina is a cozy little pizzeria that serves the best cannotto-style Neapolitan pizza you’ll find. The moment you walk in, the furnace from Forni Valoriani makes you feel like you’ve stumbled upon a well-kept secret—just as the name suggests.
The star of the show is, of course, the pizza. With its signature puffy, airy crust and rich flavors, the cannotto-style pies at Clandestina strike the perfect balance between tradition and indulgence. Each bite delivers a delightful contrast of crispy-yet-soft dough, vibrant tomato sauce, and high-quality toppings that truly elevate the experience. Whether you go for a classic Margherita or something more adventurous, the flavors are bold, well-balanced, and incredibly satisfying.
The best part? The price is fair, making this spot not only a culinary treasure but also a great value. Given its small size, seating can be limited, but that only adds to the charm. Whether you’re dining in or grabbing a pizza to go, Clandestina delivers an experience that feels both special and authentic.
