Al Volo Pizzeria — Restaurant in Le Grand-Saconnex

Al Volo Pizzeria occupies a convenient niche as a solid pre-travel dining option, though it falls short of being a standout destination on its own merits.

The pizza here is decent - not exceptional, but satisfying enough for a quick meal.

There is access through a lift for disabled people and it's above the train station that is attached to one Ind of...

I have eaten here twice. First time, I knew there would be nowhere open where I was staying, and the second time, I was staying near the airport, so this place was handy. I had the same pizza both times, and it was very tasty, food and drink were not as expensive as I thought it would be (reason for the second visit). First time I found the staff very efficient, second time the waiter seemed older and experienced, he was working the tables making conversation with the people and advising on various things (imho) creating a little ambiance. I will definitely go there again(might even try a...
