Il Pizzicotto In Lecce

We made a very successful stop at Il Pizzicotto during our visit to Lecce. It's the perfect place to grab a bite on the go while enjoying a quality pizza. The slices are generous, the dough is excellent—thin, crispy, and well-risen—and the toppings are delicious. The place is simple and unpretentious, but perfectly suited to a quick and tasty meal. Excellent value for money and a great place for pizza lovers in Lecce!

While strolling through the streets of Lecce in the evening, we stumbled upon Via Delli Ammirati, where we discovered a great pizza concept – pizza by the slice. A list of available flavors and ingredients is posted on the wall, along with the price per kilogram. You can also choose what's in the display case, and the waiters eagerly show you and explain what's freshly made, what's on each pizza, and whether it's more or less spicy. The waiter shows you with scissors where to cut, you tell them whether you want more or less, and the chosen slice goes into the oven. This is great because you can try many varieties, which we did. We ordered the classic Margherita, plus La Bufala, and a pizza with spicy salami. But my favorite was the Romana, which I haven't had in a while – a pizza with potatoes, mozzarella, and rosemary. We ate several delicious pizzas for a reasonable price – something for everyone. You can also order beer from the fridge and house wine. They pour the latter into plastic containers, which I don't like, but the waiter found a solution. He waved to his colleague from the place next door and arranged for me to order a glass of wine there and take it to our table. Inside, there's basically just this display case with the pizzas on display, a work area, and a small counter against the wall where you can eat, but it's so hot inside that we wouldn't have been able to stand it. However, you can sit outside, at small tables or benches with high seats. We really liked it there and, above all, enjoyed it. There are no restrooms – we went to the place next door to wash our hands, where I ordered the wine. But Ił Pizzicotto isn't a restaurant, but a factory that makes delicious pizza by the slice: you go in, choose, eat, and leave. They also have other locations in Lecce – I recommend this one. The place has also been recommended by the Le Routard guide for many years.

Delicious pizza and great service

It's just amazing pizza in Leche, they have awards for 6 years

A great place to eat a pizza on the go. Prices are by weight, so you can try several. A truly great place, we had a blast.

I'd only heard good reviews until I went there last night. The food was truly excellent and varied, and the staff was friendly and welcoming. I'll be back as soon as possible!

Very good pan pizza and different types available! There are a few tables outside but we were lucky to find a seat. There is no table service.

Great pizzeria. Serves pan pizza, seating available outside. Craft beer is also good. Both classic and sophisticated flavors. Excellent value for money.

Très bonne pizzeria avec des ingrédients de qualités. On a pris celle aux légumes vraiment excellente , aux fromages et margarita . Toutes excellentes. C est vraiment pas cher et quelques tables dehors

Ottima soluzione per uno street food al volo. La pizza è buona, i posti a sedere pochi. Il condimento è deciso ma la pizza è croccante e gustosa
