I was taken here by a Bergamo local. I found it very hard to cope with how busy it was. You pick a pizza, the person behind the counter cuts it off for you, and gives you the receipt. The price is worked out by weight. You then take your receipt and pay at the till on the other side... More

I liked this pizza very much, but it wasn't too fresh (I mean pizza, not ingredients) so it wasn't too crispy, that's the minus. But, pizza was very tasty, colourful and smooth, with high quality ingredients. Service was friendly, but there was one strange thing about it, they are cutting pizza with normal scissors.

I absolutely love pizza and have eaten it on two continents, in several countries, and five different Italian cities and this was some of the worst pizza I've ever tasted. I was shocked at how bad it was. It was soggy, greasy, and worst of all it was cold even after it was warmed up in the oven again. It... More

place looks simple - but always full of visitors - these are not tourists but mostly residents of Bergamo - there probably ate the best pizza in Italy - you can take your food to take away and the floor is a dozen tables and a photo gallery documenting History of Owners

Monster slices of pizza with very fresh and high quality ingredients, not cheap but very good. This is not a smart sit down restaurant, you order your pizza from the counter and you can eat it upstairs

We bought 6 different types of pizza to take home and cook. They travelled well and cooked beautifully. The girl behind the counter was officious.....we had been staying very close and had passed the display, which is impressive, several times a day. I asked her if all the pizzas were fresh that day...she said yes.....to which i pointed out that... More

Good choice of pizza sold by slice (weight). Served warm or cold to be warmed up at home. Based on the main street of old city in Bergamo it makes a great quick eat.

If this place appears chaotic (queues outside the door, different places to order, pay and collect, the confusion of everything being charged by weight) don't be put off. The pizza is tasty, the service (when you've worked out the queueing system) works efficiently, and there'll likely be somewhere to sit upstairs or in nearby Piazza del Vecchio. A bustling place...

Long established "institution" in Bergamo Alta. Food cooked every morning - great slices of assorted pizza, breads and cakes. Locals drop in for a slice and wander off or stand at a table inside. We like to pack a picnic from here, get some wine at Salumeria Angelo and wander up to San Vigilio to sit in the park. Blisssss
