La Pizzoleria Ortigia - SIRACUSA

Unique experience to eat pizzoli, great flavors well combined!! Sebastiano is very friendly and treats us like Kings, although we leave the restaurant a little late!! Try the Ricotta spinch and the pork pig Pizzoli.

A cute and very busy pizzeria with some wonderful pizzas on the menu. Unfortunately our meal took quite some time (there seemed to only be a few people working for such a busy restaurant). The pizza itself didn’t wow me like the pictures showed and the salad was more chunks of different vegetables on one plate. Perhaps this was a one off..

Our plan was to eat at a nearby pizzeria called Schiticchio but sadly it was closed Wednesday evening, so we headed to Pizzoleria as it was rated quite well on both TripAdvisor and Google. Not our best decision. We ordered two pizzas and both doughs were so hard and dense to cut using the knives provided; we asked for another set of sharper knives which were no better! The toppings were okay but lacked seasoning and the crust was not edible. The place itself was unclean, our table cloth had tomato stains presumably from the diners before us and a dead mosquito lying on it. The wine displays on the walls, above tables were dusty and not in the way that it's meant to look rustic, just plain dusty. We didn't finish our meal and didn't order anything else, as we normally would, we just wanted to leave. Schiticchio by far had the best Pizzas we tasted on our short Sicily trip.

The best pizzolo I've ever eaten.

Great different type of pizza
