Pizzeria Italiana Gigi — Restaurant in Arrecife

The pizza is really quite good, I say so as an italian pizza lover. But the service is desolating poor if not bad. It's not a matter of manners, but the method. After having waited for half an hour to have a table (that's ok), and 15 minutes to make an order (ok, even if the table were almost empty), we had the nice opportunity to wait another hour (exactly, one hour) to see our 5 simple margherita pizzas. My daughters were almost sleeping. In the meanwhile, we have seen many customers arriving after our arrival, our table and so on, order some pizza and take them away. Many. Something like 40-50 pizzas made for people that ordered the pizza after our order. When the pizzas arrived, the drinks were warm (you know, warm beer is delicious...).

One of the best pizza I have ever eaten. The crust is perfect, thin and delicious. The food is always perfect, don't let the small, simple, informal decor keep you away. You can even watch your pizza being prepared. The size of the pizza is big, perfect for sharing but also you can manage eating one just by yourself. There are plenty of options for you to choose, the vegetarian pizza is aaaamazing. The service is fast and friendly. Every time we passed by, it was very busy so that's how we knew we had to give it try. If there's a wait it's definitely worth the time. Definitely a place...

Visited on a Sunday lunch time in December. Wasn't very busy. I liked that you can watch your pizza being prepared and cooked. I had the Contadina pizza and it was delicious if maybe a little salty for my taste. I think the secret of their pizzas is the cheese they use. It's so much creamier than any other pizza I've had. The pizzas are also big, and at one point I was going to ask for it to be boxed, but just managed it. Very reasonable prices, and friendly service. Décor inside is looking a bit tired, but otherwise...
