Vecchi Sapori della Lucchesia In Lucca

A takeout-only pizzeria, for us it's THE pizza! (Suffice it to say that we're willing to drive 15 minutes there and 15 minutes back at least a couple of times a month...). It must be said that it's a unique pizza, with a wide crust, long-rising dough, and—at least for us—exclusively Calabrian ingredients (grilled vegetables, spicy sausage, 'nduja, scamorza, chili pepper, spianata Calabrian, etc.). They also offer pizzas and calzones with classic ingredients. The calzones are excellent, as are the pizzas, all of which are generously sized (we usually order three between five of us) and at very competitive prices. For us, it's a regular stop that we always look forward to!

The terrace is beautiful; we weren't able to use it, but we called at the last minute and they welcomed us inside. Delicious food and truly friendly staff. This is the part of Calabria we love; we were welcomed right at home, with home-made flavors and excellent value. We stumbled upon it by chance, and highly recommend it.

I've lived in the area for 3 months and have sampled a lot of pizzas in and around Lucca and I can honestly say this was the best. Exceptional value for money too.

Takeout only, but...what a pizza, guys! Gigantic in size, deliciousness, and quality of ingredients! It's worth taking home and enjoying with family or friends, but definitely worth trying!
