IL PIZZICOTTO — Restaurant in Lecce

There is no room for stinginess in the hospitality industry!! Good pizza, nothing to complain. But the service - not sure if it was the owner, but there was a guy teaching the new employee how to do things, with a glass of beer in his hands, who stopped the lovely lady serving us wine saying the glass she took was too big, and that she should use the smaller one. The smaller one wasn't of the proper size either, it was too small, but for him it made more sense, of course. So he had the courage to discuss it with us that it doesn't matter 14 cl or 18 cl then starting with the argument that he got the wrong size glasses - I do not care and I am a customer, it's not my problem, I want my 18 cl for 2 euro or no wine at all. Long story short, in front of us and the other customers, he started measuring the quanity of wine in the glass by grams, and finally decided to go for bigger glass. The point of the story: treat your customers right and AT LEAST give them what you promised on the menu. The point for the customers: don't let them cheat on you, you should be kind, but nobody should turn your pleasure into shameful discussions, and it's wine, we're in Italy, wake up people!!! Measuring cls, seriously? P.S. the "new" lady is very nice and polite, I hope she won't need to go through such...

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Best pizza in Lecce, great quality, fair prices! Il Pizzicotto is hands down the best pizza spot we’ve found in Lecce! We tried a Quattro Formaggi with walnuts and honey, as well as a Diavola – both were absolutely delicious. The crust was perfectly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, and the ingredients were super fresh and high-quality.

The sweet and savory mix of cheese, honey, and walnuts was outstanding, and the Diavola had just the right level of heat.

Prices depend on the weight of each slice, typically between €2 and €4, but for this quality, it's totally worth it.

Friendly staff, cozy atmosphere, and a great selection of pizza varieties. We’re definitely coming back tomorrow, highly...

Decent service, not really patient with their customers.

Large choice of different pizze in the menu, but only a few are available on the spot (of course it is not possible to maintain all the types of pizza hot and ready to order), thus we couldn’t really taste the ones we’ve been there to. The dough is not special, though the ingredients are pretty good.

However, the price is quite high for the quality offered, it is rather intended for those who’d like to taste different types of pizza than to have an authentic and delicious local food. At the same price, one can get a more tasteful Salentinian or Neapolitan...
