Cristlá Restaurant & Pizza — Restaurant in Pustertal - Val Pusteria

I'm a bit of a pizza aficionado so after having a few average nights of pizza in other alpine towns nearby I was on a mission. After examining the quality of all the restaurants nearby based on social media and google images I settled on Cristla. It was a bit out of the way but please do not let this stop you. The food (pizza and otherwise) is exceptional. I had a special pizza that used the last of the porcini mushrooms of the season and my partner had the risotto. Both were stand out meals with beautifully crafted flavour profiles and the perfect balance of textures all plated up in a way that wouldn't be out of place in a fine dining restaurant. Don't skip dessert here, the semifreddo was so good we ordered a second one. The service was a delight, our waitress was patient and considered even when we took forever to decide. There's no question, this is the place to eat in...

We are a group of 13, from Malaysia, stopped here on our way back from Adolf Munkel and it turned out to be the highlight of our trip. The pizza was hands-down the best we’ve ever had—perfectly baked with a light, airy crust. The dough was homemade and fermented for three days, which gave it an amazing aroma and rich flavor. We also had French fries, which were crispy and fresh. The other had noodles which they enjoyed so much. The staff, especially the chef’s wife, had the warmest, most patient, and genuinely lovely attitude we’ve encountered anywhere in Italy. Friendly service, cozy atmosphere, and food worth coming back for. Highly...
