Rating: Best pizza I’ve had in years
We were wandering around Venice and happened to pass this pizza place while looking for lunch. It just caught my eye. Later I discovered it’s a smallish (15-20 branches) chain. The name means “Red Tomato.”
This branch is just off Piazza San Marco. My son and I stopped in for some quick lunch.
The interior was huge.
Margarita. My son liked it — although he had a bit of trouble with the “cut it yourself” factor.
Mortadella and Pistachio. Wow, this was a great pizza. crust filled with buffalo ricotta and pistachio pesto, mozzarella Fior di Latte and out of the oven, mortadella Bologna IGP Casa Modena, crumbled toasted pistachios, Grana Padano DOP wafer and lemon zest. Really fabulous. Best new pizza combo I’ve had in a long long time and probably the best pizza I’ve had in a couple of years.
Great pizza and not too bad for a tourist zone. Turns out they are a bit of an international chain.
