Pizzeria L'Arancio — Restaurant in Pisa

A quick stop on our way to the tower. We had aperol spritz and a charcuterie board to share. Both were really lovely and reasonably priced. Charcuterie came with a selection of hams, cheese, bread, pear slices and an apple/pear sauce. We thoroughly enjoyed the cold selection on such a hot day. The dessert wasn’t as enjoyable the tiramisu and pana cotta tasted and looked quite different from what you’d expect. They weren’t horrible but we regretted getting them as they weren’t very nice. Overall the service was fantastic, our waiter was trilingual and made our experience really easy and enjoyable.

After climbing the tower of Pisa, my boyfriend and I decided to head into Pisa to find lunch (away from the tourist traps close to the tower.)

Definitely worth the walk from the tower. It also gave us a chance to see part of Pisa we wouldn’t have seen between the train station and tower, definitely go...

Hidden in an alley way approximately 15 mins walk from the leaning tower you stumble upon Pizzeria L'Arancio. The location is very cute and charming with an extremely clean bathroom. Upon looking at the Yelp and Google Reviews I was expecting a solid pizza. I ordered the one with Egg on top and a Margarita Pizza. The dough was very well flavored but very hard. The pizza doesn't come cut which could be a regional thing. However cutting it was very difficult. The Margarita which is a very basic pizza had almost NO cheese. For such a basic pizza you would think cheese for €8.50 would be included. I don't understand why this place has such high reviews I was extremely...
