Restaurant La Chiesa — Restaurant in Haapsalu linn

Authentic Neapolitan style pizza. Pizza comes out only as one can in such an authentic stone wood fired pizza oven. The pizzaiolo studied in Naples and uses home made double fermented dough. The sauce is excellent, and I have to say it is the best pizza I have had in Estonia. I am from New York, and this pizza would stand out even in New York. It was outstanding. We had the Margarita con fungi, and the salami picante. Both were outstanding but I loved the salami picante the most.

The ingredients and flavours were there, but execution felt a little lacking, at least on the day we visited. They seem to try to keep the pizzas a smaller form factor and not roll out the dough enough, leaving it a bit too thick, both in the base and crust. Also, for some reason there was no basil on any of our pizzas (maybe they were out?) and for the Margherita it made it feel like a crucial component was missing.

Overall a pleasant experience and I still really enjoyed the food, but maybe my expectations were a little high from the rave reviews and quite high prices. I will try again at...

Great pizza, but it's way too overpriced (18 eur). Same as coctail drinks, nothing special, and it was 12 euro (gin&tonic). This was so far the most expensive drink and pizza in Estonia from my past 7 years living here. Service is not that great either. We were with a little baby, and when leaving the place, the worker opened a champagne for new clients and shot towards us. It hit me in the neck. Luckily, it did not hit a little one that was next to me, but I didn't got an appology for that, as she saw what she did. Will never come back here, neither will recommend...
