We get a pinsa at least once per month (if not once every week) with my colleagues due to how tasty and well done it is. Pinsa differs from the standard pizza due to having a mix of flours and being more crispy and flat than most pizzas you would normally get at a restaurant.
The place allows for choice of several varieties of pinsa, among which are vegetarian and vegan choices, which can be selected most of the times by choosing the ones with a green color on the side. Of course the staff is friendly and will kindly listen / adapt most of the requests within their possibilities.

Read moreI recently visited The Kitchen Focacceria with my child. The food was absolutely delicious – especially the focaccia, which was a real highlight.
Unfortunately, the service was very disappointing. We were told the wait would be 15 minutes, but ended up waiting 45 minutes in the evening cold. I was genuinely concerned for my child’s health due to the long wait in such chilly weather.
When I raised the issue, the only response I got was, “Sorry, we have a lot of orders.” Honestly, that’s not an excuse that makes the situation any better – internal issues shouldn’t affect the customer experience like this.
I hope the management takes steps to improve the service because the food is truly worth it, but the overall experience left...
