Al Cavallino In Gorizia

Friendly and professional staff. Excellent pizzas, modern atmosphere.

This place looks like it opened yesterday, given how clean and tidy it is. It's a bit hidden (just after the intersection), halfway along the main road that leads from the first roundabout in Opicina to the highway. You almost get the feeling it's not a place in Opicina, but something landed there for a specific purpose. And in fact, the sign itself says so: Neapolitan pizza in Trieste. Two ovens. A summer terrace on the roof. Small niches and semi-outdoor terraces scattered around for those who want to eat in peace. From the towers of pizza boxes at the entrance and exit, I'd say it's one of the favorite takeout spots in Opicina. The pizzas are, indeed, a collection of fresh ingredients. Cherry tomatoes included, which undergo that brief, intense heat exposure typical of the Neapolitan style: quick preparation, a live oven, a substantial crust, slightly charred or blackened in spots. Be careful to arrive among the first in the evening: the oven must be respected. Bad luck meant the last pizza ordered was the first of the evening. Maybe the oven wasn't quite up to temperature, or maybe they were in a bit of a rush: the crust was still soft, not fully cooked. It can happen. And when it does, don't take revenge with silence and a passive-aggressive, vindictive review written from a resentful couch. Tell them right there, right away. You'll avoid a negative experience and a review for the place that perhaps isn't deserved. I know, this practice isn't popular on social media. But the pizza chef didn't learn how to make pizza on Facebook or Tinder. He didn't use an app. He put in the time and his hands. And hands can make a pizza in five minutes, if you make yourself heard and understood. If you really can't bring yourself to tell them in person, send them a WhatsApp. Maybe remember the table number. Pizza is a serious matter. In Italy. Talk about it right away.

Gluten-free pizza with homemade dough, delicious

Two hearts, one love, where Valentine's Day is also the day after 🫶🏻

Excellent pizzas and beers. Congratulations!

Really good pizza, just the right amount of crunchy.

Our trusted pizzeria for quite a few years, but today I feel like thanking the owner Caterina for the cake ordered at the last minute and made with love by herself since their pastry chef wouldn't have made it in time... details that make the difference ❤️

Highly recommended pizzeria (and restaurant). The interior is very well-maintained and the staff is extremely friendly. We started with beautifully presented, high-quality platters of cured meats and cheeses. Then I ordered a white vegetable pizza, truly well-made and above the standards outside of Naples. I highly recommend it.

We stumbled upon it quite by chance during a trip to Trieste. The atmosphere is informal and popular with business people. The pizza and food are excellent. The ingredients are clearly stated and proudly of their quality.

Very good and large pizza. Friendly staff. The Mozart cake deserves special mention! Delicious!
