Extremely good. We heard about Gusta before our trip to Firenze and knew we had to stop in. I must say that the pizza was well worth the wait. It was absolutely delicious. We tried a few different pies and absolutely loved all of them. There is no place to sit so we sat on some steps near by but it was well worth the wait. I would 100% recommend anyone spending a few days in Florence to hit up Gusta as it was well worth the wait.
I'm glad I was able to try Gustapizza! It was a nice treat and good experience. Around 1:30 PM, other restaurants were beginning to close, so we wandered over here. There was a line forming along the wall, but we were seated within 15-20 minutes. Between four people, we shared three pizzas and had about 7 slices leftover. They gave us a box for the leftover slices. Gustapizza €12 - This was my favorite! It had fresh arugula on top. The tomatoes were so good. I loved the tomato sauce. Porcini €13 - This was good only because of the sausage. I didn't like how mushy the mushroom was. Cotto e funghi €12 - This was the second best of the three. This also had tomato sauce. The ham and mushroom were good. The table next to us ordered the truffle pizza €15; it smelled so good. I would try that next time. Credit card/Apple Pay accepted. Pay at cashier. Bathroom is downstairs. No WiFi. Menu is in English. Cover charge €2 per person.
You can find my all-time favorite pizza at Gustapizza in Florence. Their Margherita Pizza is my idea of a perfect pizza. You can taste the freshness of each component, which blended together so beautifully. The mozzarella was bubbling as it was delivered to the table and each bite was heavenly. The wood-fire oven also makes a huge difference because the crust was perfectly crispy yet soft and held all the ingredients so well. I dream of this pizza and highly recommend it to anyone who visits Florence. Best meal on the trip!
The Calabrese pizza was unmatched. I've never experienced crust so fluffy and enjoyable even on its own. The best way I can describe it was pillowy. I've had great pizza in the states, but the main difference is the incredible quality of this crust. Don't let the line discourage you from trying. This is a must eat on your trip to Florence.
My husband and I walked past the line at this place the other night and told ourselves we would check it out for lunch. We arrived close to opening time and were able to snag an indoor table. Pizzas were delish! We paired them with a bottle of sparkling wine because that is how lunch on vacation should be. We had the Margherita and the Tartufo with prosciutto. Double yum. We followed the lead of the other patrons and used a fork and knife to make our way through the pizzas. They play good music and the people working here are super friendly.
Awesome wood fired pizza in Oltrarno! We waited in line for about 30 minutes before being seated inside. We looked at the menu while in line and felt prepared to order right away since we were so hungry. I was so intrigued by some of the pizzas like the tuna and onion one. I went with the GustaPizza - sauce, mozzarella, arugula, tomatoes, more cheese. My boyfriend got the Calzone opened, which had sauce, mozzarella, ricotta, and salami. I had a glass of wine and we each had a sparkling water, plus an iced tea. Our total was only 39 euro. The pizzas were big and we each could only eat half. I actually loved my boyfriend's pizza even more than mine. It was fun to sit near the pizza oven and watch the workers prep and cook them so quickly. I loved this pizza! Definitely would recommend!
Omg-the Gustapizza was the best pizza ever. It was so fresh and flavorful. I loved it so much! Just prepare yourself as an American to cut up your own pizza, and maybe eat it with a fork because the napkins are not enough. It was insanely good! My boyfriend got the calabrese which was spicy! We both liked the Gustapizza more than that one.
THE FOOD The pizza was decent but nothing to rave about. We tried the Margherita and Friarielli. The Margherita had a rich tomato sauce, but it was a bit too heavy on the sauce. The Friarielli was flavorful but bordered on too cheesy, with broccoli rabe that is slightly on the bitter side. If these don't appeal to you, don't worry--the menu has lots of other pizza options to explore. THE PRICE Pretty reasonable, especially considering it's a well-known tourist spot. THE PLACE Prepare for lines! There's one for takeout and one for dine-in, so make sure you're in the right one. The vibe is lively with loud music, outdoor seating, and a definite touristy feel. It's a hip spot, but be ready to wait in lines!

Stumbled upon this pizza place after walking across Ponte Vecchio. The place was packed both inside and outside with a few people waiting. They had two small stools near the window and we took them! The service was nice and friendly. We took a look at the menu and decided on our pizza. Couldn't tell you the name of our pizza but it had mushrooms and meats. Yum! read more

Excellent brick oven pizza in the Santo Spirito side of Florence! Line wrapped around the block waiting for tables, well worth the wait! read more
Came here as walk-in for lunch for pizza. The wait was insane, about 20 mins. After waiting for that much they only had "al banco" for us it was fine. We were hungry and willing to make the sacrifice. Once we got seated we ordered pizza. It took a while for the pizza to come, about 30-40 minutes. Insane wait. The pizza was alright and nothing special about it. I wouldn't recommend this place as the wait time are insane compared to other places. If I had known that I would have gone elsewhere to eat and for better taste read more

Best pizza I've ever had! Don't be scared by the wait. The line was to the street corner but it only took about 15 minutes for us to get a seat. We tried the calzone pizza. It was delicious! Great for a light lunch to split between two people read more

Good pizza but it is a tourist trap Pizza was good but nothing extraordinary. The cabrese had a really good spicy salami! The pesto was really good too but it got a little heavy at the end. Because of how popular this place is, I had higher expectations. Probably wouldn't come back read more

It is just me or is this pizza below average? My husband and I got two different types of pizza to try and our pizzas were doughy and watery/soggy. We don't get the hype at all. lol I guess you shouldn't believe everything you see on TikTok. read more

GREAT pizza! The line is always long but order to go and eat it somewhere where you can sit and enjoy. The take out line is shorter and usually moves fast. Staff was super helpful and friendly. Busy place but so worth the wait. read more

Some of the best pizza I've ever had! Husband and I were visiting Italy & this place was highly recommended. Such a cute spot and the service was great! I returned twice during our stay! read more
Why 5 stars? Because it was pizza in Italy, so what else would I give it? --- --- --- I initially was going to give Gusta 4-stars, but then I realized I was being a little crazy. Sure, if I am grading it on a curve and only caring it to other Italian pizza, maybe it was a tad lower on my personal all-time favorites list. But it was pizza from Italy. Of course it was bad ass. If you walk up to me on a random day and you ask if I would rather be doing whatever I am currently doing in a given moment -OR- sitting at a pizza shop in Italy stuffing dough, sauce and cheese in my mouth, I'm going to be using my newfound teleporter machine about 99% of the time. We were fortunate enough to walk up and score the last table. By the time we were eating, we noticed the line had built up quite a bit, so be aware that you might not be so lucky. We ordered the margherita and the cotto e funghi. Both hit the spot as our first meal in Italy in 6.5 years. Overall, I'd give it 4-stars for Italy, but 5 for anywhere else. read more
We wanted to try Neapolitan pizza and looked to Gusta Pizza based on the positive reviews. We ordered Tartufo and Mortadella. The tartufo was good but wished it actually had mushroom topping because it was essentially a truffle cheese pizza with arugula. The mortadella was incredible and it is something that you don't get in the US. Both pizzas being topped off with a Burrata was a nice touch and another layer of cheese to leave you satisfied! We can only imagine how great Neapolitan pizza would have been in Naples! read more
This is the best pizza I had in Italy! The line was crazy for dine in but they had a separate line for picking up. It's a small place but it was completely packed. I ordered a margarita pizza, it was ready pretty quick, within 20 mins or so and ate it on the curb next to the restaurant, which worked out well. It was fantastic and truly one of the highlights of my trip to Florence. read more

Absolutely love Gusta Pizza! I would say it's the best pizza I have had in my life, and it's also cheap! Everyone that goes to Florence must try Gusta Pizza I promise you it's worth the wait. Great service, we weren't waiting at all for anything. Phenomenal food and drinks, can't go wrong with any pizza that you choose. I recommend sitting outside on the patio, I personally love to people watch and with the massive line that's always outside it's a great spot to do so! read more

Great pizza. Is it overhyped? Maybe. I would not wait in the crazy line that I usually see, but I absolutely would go again on a weekday, right before the line picks up. You can get great pizza for a similar cost at plenty of places in Florence. Worth a try though. read more
As you approach this hopping pizza joint, do not be intimated by the line as they churn and burn at a high rate so your wait is minimal. Marinara Pizza - simple non cheese pie with a decent marinara and fresh garlic & herbs Turtofo Pizza - truffle creamed pizza that was topped with arugula and fresh buffalo mozzarella. Looked great on the table but fell short on flavor as expectations were higher. Great and quick service as they fire up pizzas so fast that lingering is probably not recommended but this location is near to Boboli Garden & museum so perfect for a quick bite and re-fueling. read more

This isn't just food it's an experience...aromas of pizzas wafting around, dancing and singing servers, great music... we were expecting single serve pizzas to be of a smaller size but we were wrong!!... HUGE pizzas and my gosh the calzone I ordered was ginormous! It was worth the wait outside to sit down and have a delicious meal- sharing and swapping pieces of pizza and calzone! We would definitely go back!! read more
OMG! By far the best pizza I ate in Italy. This place was a recommendation from social media as a must try. All the great reviews were correct! Upon arrival, the line was long and around the corner. I was thinking, this is crazy, but soon realize that there was a separate line for ToGO orders. We were able to order the pizza with the exact toppings and receive it in less than 30 minutes. It may have been longer, but the aroma of pizza was wonderful and everyone in line seemed to be in good spirits waiting to be seated, served, or pick up order. We even met a guy that stated he orders almost overnight from this location. Not only was the pizza really tasty, but the price was also beyond reasonable with large portions. We were there a few months ago and now writing this review is making me want to go back to Florence specifically for this pizza. If ever in the area, please try!!! ----Oh I forget to mention that the pizza is cooked right in front of you if you decided to dine in. What an experience. read more
Ok, where do I start?? My expectations of pizza in Florence are VERY high and this one met those expectations!! I had read reviews that said there would be a line and there was, not to worry since we were seated quickly. Once seated we were given menus and one of the servers came to take our order....oh the pressure to pick the perfect pizza. Give me a few more minutes. Then another server came by and asked if we were ready and in true Italian fashion she got an earful that we were not ready to order yet. There was music playing and the servers and cooks were having fun with the music, often singing and dancing. Now back to the pizza, my wife and I decided to split what we got so we could try a couple things. The calzone and pizza with spicy salami (can't remember the name) were awesome. Overall a great pizza start to the trip! read more
Amazing quality pizza for a surprisingly affordable price. Make sure to get there early (at least 30 mins before it opens) because there are super long lines due to its popularity on TikTok and IG. 10/10 would recommend and go back. Tip - line for takeaway pizza moves super quickly. Grab a pizza and then find a bench nearby to enjoy it on read more

By far the BEST pizza I've ever had. The line was out the door and took a bit before getting seated but the staff was very nice and moves quickly to get people seated as fast as possible. The five of us got four pizzas to share and it was plenty. Every single one of the pizzas we tried we all loved! Definitely worth the wait for a table and even after leaving Florence I still crave Gusta Pizza so much haha. read more

Got here 5 minutes before opening but wasn't able to get seated right away as they open on the dot. But I'm glad my friend and I came here early as it gets packed super quick! Very good spot for pizza and the prices are very affordable. Ingredients are super fresh and the quality was great. Service was great, pizzas came out very quickly. Definitely stop by if you are in the area! read more

Gusta Pizza is the best pizza in Florence. It may seem touristy on the surface, but it is not. The employees are all very friendly, and the food is incredible. The tomato's taste freshly picked. The pesto pizza is INSANE. One of a kind. We ended up going twice and my girlfriend made sure of it. We will be back, mark my words Gusta Pizza. read more
We went to Italy on our honeymoon and spent our first few nights in Firenze! Gusta Pizza was recommended by one of my girlfriends and I am so incredibly glad we had time to check this spot out, as this was the best pizza we had in all of Italy (Firenze, Roma, and Sorrento). We had some great pizzas, but this was definitely #1! The place is small, so there might be a slight wait. When we arrived, it seemed as if we snagged the last table outside and it was perfect. Close and a nice walk from our hotel - cozy and casual. We ordered wine and they bring you bottled mineral water right away. I went with the Calebrese and my husband opted for the Porcini. Both of these were absolutely delicious, fresh, and perfectly cooked. This was the best pizza we have ever had, and like I mentioned, in all 3 Italia cities, this won without a doubt. If you are in this area, do not skip out on Gusta Pizza - I miss it so much! read more
