Il Mattatoio In Arcola

I have been coming to this place for several years and I think you eat the best pizza in the entire province of Spezia. Excellent dough and quality ingredients

Pizza a little too thin and overcooked

Ottima pizza. Forno a legna e prodotti di ottima qualità

Friday night family dinner. Spartan place, with a large veranda with many tables very close together, after all it is a pizzeria that focuses on volumes, and it shows. Quite long order taking and waiting times, a bit incomprehensible given that, in fact, the restaurant focuses on the quantity of seats and on providing a "quick" solution for dinner. Very good pizzas, good general quality of the ingredients (albeit with an MA, which I explain at the bottom of the review) and of the dough, and a huge choice of toppings, with interesting combinations. We also ordered a plate of cold cuts and cheeses, sufficient quality; we were a little perplexed by the fact that we couldn't have some cooked ham for the little baby (11 months old, so not out of "whim" but out of necessity, given that he still can't eat the other cold cuts) and the reason was that "the quality is not good to be eaten raw, I can't bring it to you". Draw your own considerations, we also avoided it on pizza.....

Delicious pizza, fantastic staff

An excellent traditional pizzeria The people are very nice and kind The exquisite pizzas

We stopped at this great pizza restaurant spontaneously on our way home from La Spezia, and we’re so glad we did! Despite not having a reservation, the staff was incredibly helpful and found us a table right away. For a Monday night, the place was packed, which shows just how much the locals love it – and now we understand why! The pizzas were absolutely delicious, with a perfect balance of flavors, and very reasonably priced. The service was friendly and attentive, making the whole experience even better. Highly recommend this spot if you’re in the area and craving a fantastic pizza!

Always kind and helpful. When I finish work in the evening I stop by to have a pizza and a beer that are always delicious. Thank you

Ci sono tornato qualche mese dopo, e stavolta non solo c'erano i galletti ma pure i porcini. Tormentato dalla indecisione, la cameriera mi propone di fare metà pizza ai porcini col grana e metà con i galletti. Il risultato, in foto, è stato un successo, era come mangiare due pizze in una, entrambe davvero buone. I funghi, come dicevo in precedenza, sono raccolti dagli ex titolari. Spesa chiaramente più alta dell'altra volta, ma comunque assolutamente accettabile e, vista la qualità, pure molto onesta. Non posso che ribadire il mio giudizio totalmente positivo.

Came across this place on our way back from the Lerici beach. The place is packed and you need reservations beforehand. They offered us a table inside and that is in the same space as the oven. It is summer with 34 degree and we sat inside! The heat is albeit unbearable. The food on the other hand, is impeccable!
