“ We ordered 2 pinse for delivery (delivered on time!!). All the ingredients were tasty and we were satisfied with our choice. In our opinion, the pinsa would be even better if the dough was crunchy. ”
“ Starting with the positive feedback, price is good compared to other restaurants, particularly because they don't charge the delivery. Still, pizza is far from good. I'm a pizza fanatic and when I receive a pizza that differs so much from the original Napolitan pizza it's difficult to enjoy it. This one had a flat dough, industrial canned tomato sauce (at least tasted like it), and too few mozzarella. Maybe that's the way the restaurant does it, and if that's the case it's okay, but customers must be aware what they are buying. ”
“ Enjoyed eating their Focacce sandwiches for lunch after class. Its close enough to Lake Lugano to take your food down there and enjoy the view with your lunch. ”
“ I *love* this place. for fast food, this place is amazing. prices are absolutely friendly for swiss/lugano standards. the pizzas the owner (Raphael) creates are extremely good, one might think he was born with an italian soul for that (he is in fact brazilian). for a quick snack i can recommend the baby pizzas. one pizza is enough to stop your urgent hunger and whatever topping you prefer, it's 8 chf (current price, 2013) but i personally even more recommend the foccacie - the dough is *freshly* baked usually, i.e., they bake the dough for the bread in front of your eyes. they are all well filled and really tasty. prices range from 7 to 10 chf, my personal favourites are prosciutto crudo (8) and chicken curry (10). on top of that, for every 10 orders you get another one free. i already bought 60+ items in that shop over the course of less than 1 year.... that should give you a hint.... about the people that run the place i can't say much, i only talked with the owner himself and everything he creates is of good quality. his employees don't talk english and some of them are not as skilled as raphael himself, but it's good food in any case. so try it and get amazed how much better this is over mcd, burger king or whatever else! ”
“ Very quick and incredibly tasty pizza! Ok prices for Switzerland (12CHF for a margarita). Menu is very clear. Mostly take away, but there are some tables but no chairs. ”
“ Fantastic quality and simply awesome delivery service. Their basic burger is always reliable but, for the gourmands among us, their truffle burger is .... ”
“ The best burger in Lugano, the bread made in the pizza oven is fantasic. My family has ordered their burgers as a treat for a long time but recently they stopped delivering to our location :( ”
“ I was with my family visiting relatives in Ticino. One evening, not feeling like cooking, we decided to order some burgers and pizza. Fantastic choice. More than excellent price and stellar quality, no doubt about it, but we also ordered the next evening! One of the best discoveries of Ticino I made this holiday! ”
