First time at Gusto, an Italian pizza and pasta restaurant 🍕 in Rotterdam, Netherlands 🇳🇱. It had nice terrace seats and professional staff. Price range: €15 - €25 per person.
I picked the Diavola pizza and for dessert the Chocolate - Ginger cake topped off with corn ice cream.
Diavola pizza was the right amount of spicy, the crust was a bit hard which made it difficult to cut the pizza into slices. Taste was what you'd expect from a pizza. The salami on the pizza could have been a bit less dry but it was good enough for a wednesday evening dinner. The cheese was perfect.

Look elsewhere if you want to have an...

I ordered one to take home and it wasn’t as good as the one I just had in the restaurant and even with few different ingredients which was strange. It’s close to metro station and walking distance from rotterdam central station. The waiters were nice but some were inattentive maybe because of the crowd.
