Il Metro da Gigi — Restaurant in Bellaria-Igea Marina

We asked our local friends for the pizzeria recommendation and they told us this place is must-go. Reservation is recommended if you want to be seated just when you come, without waiting for the free table, as place is always full and many locals are waiting outside for the take away orders.

Pizza is delicious! Gigi is the owner and main pizzaiolo. They have an open kitchen so if you have got a table inside, you can see how amazing his work is. Outside is very nice terrace.

You can order pizza for 2 persons ("1/2 pala") with max of 2 tastes and served on the wood board; or pizza for 4 people ("1 pala") with max 4 tastes and served on the table stand.

They also offer desert (kind of sweet pizza) and choice of Italian beers, incl. some from small breweries which you cannot find in supermarkets. Self-serving for a beer from a fridge, which is a very convenient while you are waiting for your pizza.

Speak Italian, English and even Russian. Very warm atmosphere and nice people working there.

Prices are cheap for such a wonderful level of quality! We will definitely come back once we are again...

The pizza was very light and pretty good. The service is a bit lacking. Need to get your own drinks, plates etc. The pizza, when ready is brought to you.

Update : we dined there again this year and the pizza is still the same delicious one! This time i will give 5 stars since we need to serve ourselves with the plates, drinks, et is...

Abbiamo scoperto questa pizzeria l’anno scorso, attratti dalle recensioni entusiaste, e da allora non ce ne siamo più dimenticati. Ci abbiamo pensato per un anno intero e, tornati a Bellaria, nonostante avessimo la pensione completa in hotel, abbiamo rinunciato alla cena pur di tornarci. La loro pizza è semplicemente la migliore del mondo. Sì, anche a Napoli — dove la pizza è sacra — non l’abbiamo trovata così buona. E di pizze, fidatevi, ne abbiamo provate tante. Consigliamo di prenotare, anche se in entrambe le occasioni siamo riusciti a trovare posto con una breve attesa. Torneremo sicuramente. E lanciamo un appello: aprite una sede anche in provincia di Bologna, perché una pizza così merita di essere...
