Pizzeria La Vecchia Gioia In Gioia del colle

Based on other reviews, I expected a 5-star experience, but it fell short. We made the reservation on time, and the dining room was beautiful, but we suffered a bit from the heat. Despite being only two people, after trying the excellent fritters (pupi), the wait for the pizzas was considerable (an hour), so the beer got warmer than it should have been. Furthermore, the sauce bowls served with the pupi arrived with smudged edges... I would improve the presentation to avoid even thinking they were already used. Perhaps additional single-serving sachets would be more welcome. Overall, the pizza was good, but far from my standards. Beyond what may be subjective tastes (thick/thick pizza, crispy/chewy), I can't help but criticize the toppings: both pizzas produced a lot of fiordilatte water in the center... one in particular was extremely salty due to the capocollo. Average quality/price ratio, lactose-free supplement €2, Neapolitan dough €1.

Nice pizzeria in the center of Gioia del Colle, good pizza and a great selection on the menu. The only problem is that at the beginning of the evening, the Neapolitan dough isn't available because there's little demand. Either you don't order it, or it's not available at the end of the evening, not at 8:15 PM... and anyway, I find it hard to believe that in a pizzeria, authentic dough isn't appreciated.

The restaurant is located in a central area of town, making it easy to find and convenient for a post-dinner stroll. The service was quick and accurate; we ordered pizzas, and they were all well-topped and cooked to perfection. The only downside was that we were in a part of the dining room where there wasn't much ventilation, so we suffered a bit from the heat. However, the outdoor seating seemed very comfortable. Excellent value for money; overall, highly recommended.

Excellent pizza!! Very good. Recommended++++++!!

Excellent pizza with a fragrant flavor and very digestible! Impeccable service.

The only flaw is that we had a hot and muggy evening, everything else was ok

A very quaint spot in the center of town, with excellent service and delicious wood-fired pizzas. The craft beers on the menu are also excellent.

The combination of pizza and beer has proven for centuries that almost nothing beats it. Here, the best of both worlds is demonstrated. The service is relatively good, friendly, and the manager—I don't know if he's the owner—excellent.

Titolo della recensione non a caso. Prenotato un tavolo per 4 un sabato sera col desiderio di mangiare una pizza. La serata però non inizia nel migliore dei modi e le aspettative iniziali si abbassano notevolmente in quanto l’orario della prenotazione non viene rispettato e slitta di un’ora! Sì 1 ora, ma la voglia di mangiare la pizza era talmente alta che abbiamo deciso di attendere speranzosi…anche perché le pizze che servivano e che erano già presenti su altri tavoli promettevano bene. SCELTA AZZECCATA. Ci accomodiamo alle 23.10. Posto di nostro gradimento sia per l’attaccapanni vicino al nostro tavolo sia per le sedie che decoravano il nostro posto…comodissime e diverse dal resto del locale! Era il minimo per farsi perdonare del ritardo. Menù di pizze vastissimo che mette una leggera difficoltà nel scegliere la pizza e dopo tanta indecisione ordino pizza con capocollo di MF, pomodori secchi, stracciatella e crema di olive. Spaziale…Qualcosa di unico! Da sottolineare che nonostante la pizza fosse piena di ingredienti è risultata digeribile! Il tutto accompagnato da una birra agricola di spessore. Ovviamente la pizza è arrivata in meno di 10 min…e ci mancherebbe! Personale educato e professionale. Naturalmente siamo stati gli ultimi ad uscire dal locale. Situazione del ritardo tollerabile, perché la pizza ne vale davvero la pena. Vai a farti un giro, ma non badare all’ora!

Excellent pizzas. Also gluten free
