A la Cream — Restaurant in Municipality of Heraklion

At first we were puzzled, but then the waiter showed up with a big piece of warm chocolate cake drizzled with crunchie biscuit crumbs, melted chocolate and an ice cream on top!

The 11 euros, 40cm pizza was more than good. it was as delicius as any good pizza in Italy. Combined with professional, very kind service I can recommend this place...
