I’m afraid I really have to question anyone saying the pizza here is amazing, especially the Italians - you folks know better than that.

The base is thin and crispy, but that’s where the good things end sadly. It has very little flavour, there is a description on the website mentioning the slow fermentation that should make this base particularly good, but I couldn’t taste any of those lovely bready/yeasty/tangy flavours that you would get with a proper slow ferment, so my impression is they are cutting corners.

I’m not sure if this is a wood oven - poking my head into the kitchen I could see logs of wood on the floor but I couldn’t see any of it burning, there was no smell of it in the kitchen or flavour of it on the pizza itself. If it is, I would suggest adjusting the baking to get more of the flavour on it, if it’s not then that tells you all you need to know.

The quality of the toppings leaves a bit to be desired, which is a shame when you’re surrounded by tomatoes, olives, etc in Puglia.

I can account for the heterogeneity of reviews about the service at this place - most of the staff are very friendly, but there are a couple of women staff that will barely give you the time of day, so depending on who you get it could be a completely different experience.

To end on a positive, the prices are very fair which is very much appreciated given how many of the clientele are tourists.
