Al Borsalino - Pizzeria Gourmet In Palermo

We discovered the place thanks to The Fork and ate there during the week 🌼 The place is small, but pleasant due to its cozy, family-friendly atmosphere. Super-fast service and extremely courteous service from the owner and wait staff. The pizza is really good, and you can taste that all the ingredients are carefully chosen to create an excellent blend of flavors. Generous portions. The desserts are also delicious because they're carefully selected (not homemade, but still Sicilian from an excellent pastry shop). My only complaint is that without The Fork's discount, I think the bill would have been higher than average, at least for my budget. So, the prices are "fair" with The Fork, but high without the discount. We'll definitely be back to try other dishes 🤗🌼

Spectacular pizza, delicious appetizers.

Everything was excellent, from the pizzas to the craft beers. The service was impeccable. It's a shame about the size of both the place and the table; for seven of us, it was a bit difficult to move around and eat.

The most important thing is having a good dinner. The new management, which began in 2025, is truly pleasant. The owner is friendly and personable. The service isn't exactly top-notch, more for the lack of explanation of the dishes than anything else, but it's acceptable enough for a pizza. The contemporary pizzas, different with a stuffed crust, are well-topped, although not always made with high-quality ingredients. They need to work on upping the quality of the ingredients a bit. Kudos to the 7-grain dough. Otherwise, the menu also offers sandwiches and meat dishes, definitely worth trying next time. The beverage selection, however, could be improved. The beer selection is limited, with supermarket brands, and the wine list isn't particularly appealing. The only real flaw is the cramped space: a ground floor with limited circulation between the closely spaced tables and a quieter attic with four tables and about ten seats. Overall, a good place to dine on a quiet weekday. A heartfelt piece of advice... lower some prices. It's difficult to offer pizzas between €16 and €18 in Palermo, regardless of the ingredients used, when there are pizzerias that boast the three Gambero Rosso slices and offer more substantial options at lower prices. I returned today, the end of December 2025... nothing has changed, perhaps they've taken a step back. The prices have gone up, the quality of the ingredients remains the same, and the location remains the same... what a shame.

Welcoming place, friendly staff, and delicious pizza. Recommendation

This place changed management a year ago. The quality of both the flour and the ingredients used for the pizzas is excellent. The place is welcoming and clean, and the staff are friendly and knowledgeable. Even though the pizzas are slightly more expensive, they are well worth the money.

Truly high-quality pizza! I ordered a plain pizza with a whole grain crust, and I can assure you it was exceptional! The atmosphere is lovely, quite intimate, the staff is friendly, and the owner is very attentive to the customers' choices. I would improve the desserts; they're not homemade, so they're not as good as the pizzas. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Excellent quality of food, very kind staff, excellent service.

First time for us pizza lovers. The place has limited seating, which was a great bonus for me, as I enjoyed my dinner in peace and quiet without having to shout to be heard. The pizza was simply excellent, from the dough to the cooking, to the careful selection of ingredients. Friendly staff. Super satisfied, we'll be back!

We went last night for the first time, a wonderful experience! The place is small but very welcoming, the staff is exceptional, and the owner is very friendly! The pizzas are truly delicious in every way: exceptional dough, abundant, top-quality ingredients—you can tell they put a lot of care into creating these pizzas and sourcing the finest ingredients! I tried the cornflower with black mulberry jam, a delight for the most sophisticated palates 😉 We'll definitely be back ❤️💯
