| - This restaurant is located in an industrial area -- literally right across from some refinery -- and the area smelled horribly when we arrived last night (which, thankfully, did not penetrate into the restaurant). It seems an odd place to open a pizza place, until you realize, that you not only have the local industries there to service (most likely for lunch), but that there's also a stadium nearby. Nevertheless, keep an eye open when looking for this establishment: it's not hard to find; it just isn't where you'd expect it to be.
Like almost all the local pizza shops out here, the place is run by Albanians. I know, that seems strange, too; but there are many Albanians in southern Italy and many Albanians go to Italy for work and vacation. As one reviewer wrote, the place is quite clean and the decoration is warm and tasteful. Service is fast and also very good; so there's no complaint with either of those,
The food is good. I had the baked ziti; my partner had chicken parmesan. The antipasto salad was also good. The problem is, I can't say more than that. I liked it while we ate it; I had no issues of any kind after the meal; and I was glad we went there. But I found nothing extraordinarily special about the food.
Frankly, I'd recommend the place for its service and the cleanliness of the restaurant. But if we wanted to go to a pizzeria, we wouldn't lose sleep, if we ended up going somewhere else.
Nothing negative; just nothing noteworthy. Try it! There'll be no disappointment.
