La Donna Pizzéria — Restaurant in Budapest

I ended up discovering this spot as it is close to 3 kids parks. My son wanted pizza so we gave it a shot. Now, whenever we are in the area we always stop by.

Food: I haven't tried much of their menu... tomato soup, shrimp salad and pizza for my son/his friend... but it has always been good.

Kids are picky eaters but my son and his friend devoured everything until they cannot eat more.

It is all made on the spot. Nothing in excess (I.e. not too salty, not too much sauce) so the flavors come out.

Pizza has a good, fluffy crust. The cheese pulls are great.

Service: It is a small staff so sometimes you have to wait but you can see them hustling (making drinks, bringing out food, checks, etc.) not just sitting so they are working. Be patient.

The waitress was really helpful and simpler/cheaper way to make the pizza my son likes rather than when I tried to build it ingredient by ingredient.

Atmosphere: It is a local spot. It feels cozy. A lot of the folks stopping by are regulars. Several will simply wave and say hello to my son, so he...

I am struggling between 4 and 5 stars. The food is good and tasty but the atmosphere and the staff is a bit tired. The home delivery is quick and they never lie about the delivery time but the pizza is a bit pricey. The food intolerances are known and shown on the menu which is great, but the vegetarian, vegan, lactose free or gluten free options are very limited. If you have L and G intolerance in the same time you will be able to order 1-2 food maximum. I decided to go with 5 stars because in the neighborhood it feels like they try their best and keep up the quality as much as it is possible. On the other hand I can eat everything and there is way too many options for me on the menu. Maybe you know that feeling when you see so many food you wander how can all be equally good. There is no chance to try all, maybe if you are lucky. 10 perfect dish I think is better then 100 good dish and maybe the staff will be less tired. Anyway, I know they will survive and I hope they will follow the trends and able to...

Not at all what we were expecting, which was a takeaway pizza joint, but rather a very proper restaurant with great Italian and Hungarian food, excellent service, huge portions, pleasant atmosphere, and lots of patience with folks who don't speak Hungarian. Only complaint is that we weren't in Budapest long enough to have time to go there again--but we'll definitely do so next time we visit the city. Very reasonable prices, too--roughly 25€ for more than the two of...
