Amazing pizzas for very low price (around 5EUR each!). The dough is and thin, the tomato sauce is fresh and the mozzarella makes all the ingredients sing together. We got one Margherita (4.60 EUR) and one Marinara with anchovies (marinara con alici, 5.60 EUR) and enjoyed every bite of the super-size pizzas. 3 bottles of Peroni beer (6 EUR for all) helped the pizza slide in, and before the sharp-as-a-knife espresso we asked for two (which then became three) shots of Amaro Averna digestivo - semi bitter semi chocolatic drinks - to help the stomach digest all the food and beer that got it all of the sudden, and the world looked bright and happy though it was almost midnight and noisy.
