I migliori ristoranti di cucina pizza e pasta in Puglia

12/06/2026: Third time we've gone for takeout. Wow!! The lady at the register and counter touches money and food indiscriminately. Burnt pizzas. THEY SELL PUCCIA with porchetta and low-quality cooked ham. High prices, zero hygiene.

09/06/2026: Excellent restaurant located on Viale Magna Grecia, good customer service, excellent focaccia, pizza, and panzarotti, highly recommended. Table service outside the restaurant.

17/06/2026: A lovely outdoor beer garden with live music in the evenings, snacks, and a decent selection of draft and bottled beers. The fries, pizza, and mozzarella are delicious, along with excellent grilled vegetables.

16/06/2026: In summer the outside is charming and the service staff are always very helpful.

11/06/2026: A simple place with friendly and helpful staff. The prices are super fair and the ingredients are excellent. They also have a few good beers on tap. I recommend asking for the Bari-style dough if you like thin, crispy pizza.

19/04/2026: The trend for "canotto" pizzas with their puffed crust—you know it's only a 10-year-old fad, and you also know that the true Neapolitan pizza isn't that, but rather the "cartwheel" pizza, gigantic and crustless. You might think you can make Neapolitan pizza dough with life preservers. That's not the case.

31/08/2025: The beach was clean and the managers were as courteous as ever.

22/08/2025: Well-stocked beach, fabulous sea view...a little further on, walking towards the rocks, the sea is Caribbean-like with very warm water, immersed in nature!! I recommend it both for the location and for the bar service, which has a rotisserie full of delicious things to eat and, for those who want, there's also kebab and piadina shop!!! Showers are available for a fee at the price of 3 euros!!!

02/05/2026: average pizza but at a very good price

25/01/2026: Biblical wait times, the runner (the pizzeria manager) remained outside our house for 10 minutes because he couldn't find the intercom!! Not a call, eh? The pizza was anemic, with very little tomato and miserable mozzarella. Obviously, it arrived frozen, having been "waiting" for the runner at the pizzeria for at least 40 minutes after our umpteenth call! Never again!

01/07/2026: Wonderful pizza and traditional cuisine!!! Highly recommended!!! Dear Checco, you'll be our regular stop in Melendugno!!! Paolo and Anna from Milan

27/06/2026: Ate delicious pizza on the street.

11/07/2026: One of the most beautiful sunset aperitifs in Salento

28/06/2026: Disastrous breakfast…at 9am they only had 1 empty croissant and 1 berry…at least the gift was kind…

07/02/2026: A truly wonderful business stay. From the warm welcome upon arrival by Mr. Angelo, to the elegance of the property. The room was elegant and beautifully furnished. I look forward to staying there again.

09/12/2025: Five of us went to this restaurant for a family lunch and had a truly wonderful time. The experience was incredibly positive: quick and attentive service, and the waiter was extremely friendly and always available. We were also impressed by the food; everything was delicious and carefully prepared. The professionalism of the entire staff was evident. Highly recommended, we'll definitely be back!

05/07/2026: Should I start again with three? Let's start again with two stars. On a summer evening, five people order two large beers and five pizzas, knowing that if necessary, they'll order a third, or a fourth, when the pizzas arrive. The so-called waiter is so thoughtful that he suggests bringing one immediately and the other with the pizzas to prevent it from getting warm. Did we ask him? No! But he, quicker than our indecision, slips away. After just 40 minutes, the pizzas arrive (not bad) but not the beer. The waiters? Vanished! Finally, after several attempts, I stop one of them to remind him, but the poor guy is already too busy, he doesn't know who we are, who he is, or what he's doing there, "I'm new," and in fact... he forgets. The pizza is almost finished when, uneasily, I decide to get up to stop the so-called waiter from offering precious advice to remind him about the beer. As we finish our pizza and our glasses are full of water, the beer finally arrives. But the glasses are still missing. They will arrive only when, in desperation, we've thrown the water on the sidewalk and shared this blessed beer, which will mark the end of our enthusiasm, with which we won't sit down again, at least for a while. A word of advice to the so-called waiter with precious advice: "Fà sta! Purt a birr e spicc't!" (Drinkable speaking)

05/07/2026: Intrigued by the reviews, we tried this pizzeria. The pizza is good: very digestible dough and fresh ingredients, but the service could be improved (slow and disorganized: missing beer glasses, hasty table clearing, excessive waits for simple requests). The atmosphere is a bit noisy due to the clientele, which is predominantly families and children who tend to shout. The outdoor area needs improvement; in fact, those who already know the place will book inside! Turning off the glaring monitors, playing quiet background music, arranging tables with potted plants to provide more privacy, and installing synthetic grass on the ground that replaces the cracked asphalt would greatly improve the service. It doesn't take much. Takeout is highly recommended.

03/08/2025: We stopped by chance, but it was a pleasant dinner... we waited a bit, but it was due to the lack of staff, which the owner immediately clarified, but it was pleasantly rewarded by the good pizza and the courtesy of the staff. We will definitely be back!

29/06/2025: Pizzeria Da Luigi - Where "Not the Best" Still Means Amazing (Because... Italy) In Tricase, saying a pizza place isn’t the best is like saying your Ferrari isn’t the fastest, it’s still a Ferrari. Pizzeria Da Luigi serves up a solid, delicious, can’t-go-wrong kind of pizza. Maybe it's not the single best slice in town, but honestly? That’s like ranking Michelangelo’s sculptures, some preferences are just personal. The crust is crispy, the ingredients are fresh, and the vibe is proper local. You leave satisfied, full, and wondering if you’re just a little too spoiled by Italy. If this exact pizza landed anywhere else in the world, they’d crown Luigi emperor and name a national holiday after him. But in Tricase? It’s just Tuesday.

26/02/2026: Beautiful restaurant with superb decor. Excellent cuisine.

02/01/2026: Wonderful choice, everything was delicious. The best place we ate after spending a week in Puglia. The staff were very friendly.

03/03/2026: An unforgettable family evening. Thanks to the attention of the owner himself, Kekko (Francesco), we started with seafood appetizers, and of course, his famous and delicious focaccia was a must. My pizza, the tartufata, was sublime, with arugula, truffle, and cherry tomatoes. Definitely a place to return to every time I go to Molfetta. Kekko, thank you for the recipe! 🇮🇹🫶🏻

11/02/2026: The focaccia is very good, the pizza is also good, the dough is thin, the appetizers are also good.

09/05/2026: The food is excellent, I highly recommend the risotto with bisque and prawn tartare.

29/03/2026: Wonderful restaurant, the food is divine, the service is fast, the staff is very friendly, the prices are more than fair, and the portions are generous, just the way we like them. We'll be happy to return 😍😍😍

25/06/2026: The pizzas leave much to be desired!!!

31/05/2026: There was a very long wait for a pizza, the dough was coarse and raw. Furthermore, in a place like this, there wasn't even draft beer.
