Pizzeria da Paolo — Restaurant in Budune/Budoni

Brilliant pizzas, questionable prices and somewhat lacking service.

Visited 3 times over the course of our holiday as the food is good here.

However the service is poor, first night we made an 8pm renovation, arrived on time and was seated however our order wasn't taken for 40 minutes all the while we noticed takeaway orders be placed and fulfilled.

Very nice place run by an elderly couple. Pizza is different that any other we have eaten before. Thin and quite dry dough, for me a bit undercooked (light), good quality ingredients, but not too much taste comparing to pizza Neapolitana. You do not feel the tomato sauce or dough taste. It’s a pity that the stove is gas-fired, not wood-fired - the difference is noticeable. The pizza is correct, but it won't stay long in my memory. House wine is bad. Both...
