Pizzeria La Pergola In San donato di lecce

If you think you're going to La Pergola for an elegant restaurant, you're in the wrong place, but the only thing you can be sure of is that the pizza 🍕 is truly delicious. Highly recommended

Typical Lecce pizzeria Six of us went for dinner. We arrived when the place was full, the wait was just right, the staff was quick and attentive, moving their hands and heads, creating a dynamic and fast atmosphere. The waiter's attention to asking the pizza chef how the orders were before taking our appetizer order was a sign of attention and professionalism not found even in more upscale places. The drinks arrived promptly and were perfectly cold... but always before or alongside the food (not a given). I'm not even talking about the food (because it was as good as I expected it to be): pizza, fried food, pucce, pieces of horse meat, even jumbo ones (if I didn't appreciate them, there's no point in coming to Salento). All good, with authentic and fragrant flavors. Clean and, I'd say, with a friendly touch, namely a mascot that was among the tables, tolerated by everyone with respect and politeness. If you happen to stop by, it's definitely worth it. P.S. We went in August, but these locals come here year-round and are never disappointed. They also do takeout, and in our case, it didn't bother us too much. Maybe things change in the winter, but I must say that the staff is attentive and does their best to keep the wait to a minimum.

The horse meat in tomato sauce is delicious. A simple, unpretentious place!

Very tasty and highly recommended. Pizzas come straight from the wood-fired stone oven.
