I migliori ristoranti di cucina pizza e pasta in Taranto

25/01/2026: Best pizza in Taranto. Quality, affordability, and, most importantly, a wood-fired oven. We don't need gourmet fare to have a great product. Fantastic.

29/12/2025: I ordered takeout pizzas. The only strange thing I've noticed among various takeout pizzerias in Taranto is the custom of charging the customer when they order. I don't know, but in my area, people usually pay upon delivery and not beforehand, but it's probably a local practice. Aside from that, which I consider an anomaly, I can absolutely recommend the pizzeria because the pizza I ate was truly excellent.

16/02/2026: We're so sorry!!!!!!! We were there last year and had a wonderful meal. We thought we'd repeat the wonderful experience, but unfortunately, that wasn't the case. We had a terrible dinner. The house appetizer, which was overpriced, should definitely be avoided. The octopus was cold and rubbery, the mussels au gratin were inedible, dry, and tough. The burger was unclear what kind of meat it was made of. Only the pizza was good. We don't want to offend the management, but we believe that reviews—negative ones, that is—help improve customer service. We're ordinary people, without great expectations, but certainly not naive. We'll hardly return!!!

13/02/2026: I ordered a panzerotto, the quality was poor and I left it.

03/10/2025: Very nice staff, and crazy good pizza!!!!

23/09/2025: Exceptional pizza, very light dough and quality ingredients. Highly recommended pizzeria.

12/09/2025: It's very relaxing if you have children there; they can play and the parents can eat in peace. Pizza from 1 meter is so delicious, as is the pucca.

07/09/2025: Biblical wait times. Inexperienced and slow staff, except for Cosimo, a young man who tried his best to fix everything. Perfect for outings with children, with a play area for them (ages 3 to 15). The puccia al metro is delicious, but the pizza al metro could be improved. I recommend increasing the staff and finding someone with a little more experience.

17/01/2026: Excellent quality with honest price

10/09/2025: Historic pizzeria on the coast offering pizza by the slice, regular pizzas, appetizers, and ready-made meals. Fast service, even during peak hours.

07/09/2025: Summer place with plenty of choice for a quick meal

06/12/2025: I went to eat with my friends and we had fun, we had a good time, there was also music😊😊😊

12/11/2025: The food is very good every time I go there and the food is always good

18/02/2026: Historic restaurant with a good variety of dishes, but service is a bit slow. The atmosphere is really nice. Recommended if you're looking for a pleasant evening.

11/02/2026: I've been to Pizzeria Scacciapensieri and overall the experience was very positive. The pizza is well-leavened, light and easy to digest, with fresh, high-quality ingredients. The cooking is excellent, especially for those who love a soft yet well-structured crust. The place is welcoming and informal, ideal for an evening with family or friends. The staff is friendly and helpful, even during busy periods. The only small point: on busier days, the wait can be a bit longer, but nothing that ruins the evening. Overall, a pizzeria I recommend and would gladly return to. 🍕

09/11/2025: Terrible service, extremely rude. Every time I come in and order something, and a random customer comes in and places another order, they let them go ahead as if I wasn't there. For a portion of fries, you have to wait hours. Not to mention the excessive price, €7 for a portion of fries. After years, they still don't know how to treat customers. If they closed down, it would be better for the whole world.

27/09/2025: Outrageous.... we just went there, first and last time. In addition to drinks, we ordered a portion of fries, a portion of croquettes, a mini margherita, and two margheritas, one with cooked ham and one with prosciutto. We were traveling with a child. The fries and croquettes arrived after almost two hours, and the pizzas after about twenty minutes. An exorbitant wait, despite there being only about ten people at the tables. Bill: €40, which is also very overpriced. Not recommended.

26/08/2025: Despite our late arrival, we were greeted with a very warm and friendly welcome, who offered us a meal. The pastry was excellent, hot, crispy, and thin. The topping, although of high quality, could have been a little more substantial. The setting is basic. However, the staff is very helpful, attentive, and friendly. A wonderful experience that I highly recommend. Philippe

18/08/2025: I used to frequent this place often and considered it one of my favorites, but unfortunately, my last experience was truly disappointing. As soon as we sat down, the waitress offered us the set menu, explicitly stating that it included beer. Unfortunately, when we received the bill, we were told otherwise. When asked for an explanation, the cashier—visibly annoyed—pointed to a notice on the wall, urging us to read it. A very rude response, especially considering the initial confusion. The pizzas then arrived with the toppings mixed up, and despite the waitress's good intentions, there was considerable disorganization. Furthermore, items that were unavailable were not immediately communicated to us: the waitress had to return to the table several times to inform us, creating further confusion. It's a real shame to see a place with so much potential go downhill due to a lack of clarity, organization, and courtesy.

05/03/2026: I've traveled all over the world, and I must say—in the capital of fine food—pizza, this ranks as the absolute worst. From the pizza to the panzerotti and everything in between, including the service, everything fell short. They also have a mascot cat that hangs around the counter. He was quite territorial, and I'll give the cat credit: at least he made a point, which is more than I can say for the staff. Do yourself a favor and don't bother with this place. You will be highly disappointed. If I could give them a -3 star rating, I would, but I'm forced to give at least one.

16/01/2026: The pizzas, pucce, and panzerotti are delicious! The staff is friendly and professional.

30/12/2025: A well-equipped beach with helpful staff

05/10/2025: Very familiar, welcoming atmosphere, very good pizzas over time have further improved
