Probably my favorite pizza in all of Italy. There was a line and a wait at lunch time but I would have waited even longer. The pizza is an experience. This place needs to be in your plans. read more

In the name of all things delicious... Gusta Pizza is a literally the best pizza I have ever had. And trust me... I've had a lot of pizza in my day. During my month long study abroad program, I had done what some may call silly, but what it was what I call "euros well spent"... Gusta Pizza was the only pizza the I had in Florence. Maybe other places did deserve a shot, but after having Gusta my first night and being blown away by it, I thought, "why fix what isn't broken?". During that month I had Gusta at least five-six times... I admittedly lost count... The crust is the perfect combination of light and fluffy, and slight ashy and wood fired. As for the sauce, don't be surprised if you bite into a tomato seed... the sauce is just that fresh. And let's not forget the flavor of the sauce. Never have I tasted a sauce so wonderfully sweet. As for the seating... don't let it stress you out. Seating is very limited inside Gusta and it seems as though it barely accommodates even a fourth of the customers at any given time. However, the Arno and its many bridges are nearby, and there is also a piazza literally right behind Gusta. The nice little walk will give your pizza some time to cool off (because those babies are hot when they come out) and dining outside will give you the chance to enjoy a favorite European past time... people watching. Plus, how awesome does a Gusta Picnic sound? So no matter how long you may find yourself in Florence, make time for Gusta! read more

Gusta Pizza - The famous heart shaped pizza. - Italian Near Me - Florence, FI

What's all the hubbub about? They've got a fantastic wood fired oven. And, it's made of seemingly the same simple ingredients that most pizza is constructed from in Italy. But, we kind of found it rather sloppy. We had the Margherita and the Napoli. The Napoli was nice and salty (as I like it). But, the toppings turned to near liquid and made the crust soggy. Likewise withe the Margherita. It was ho-hum. The best pizza I've had in Italy was in Rome. I'll have to have another try at Tuscan pizza while here. I did take the pizza to go. So, maybe that made a difference. But, the place we are renting is only two blocks away. A three minute walk. read more

pizza was phenomenal, service was wonderful, ambiance was romantic. our server was hilarious. made for a great first day in firenze.

The local tour guide claimed this to be the best pizza in Florence. My take - it's good, but I had better pizza elsewhere in Florence. I had the house special and caprese. Ingredients were fresh. Waiting around for a table (while dodging crowds who came in to order) was part of the experience. read more

Gusta Pizza - Only 7 types. Daily specials are not in this list. - Italian Near Me - Florence, FI

The hype is real! This place is so good. I had read a blog about what to see in Florence on our one day there and this place was recommended. We weren't that hungry but I wanted to check it out. We arrived 5-10 minutes early and a line had formed around the corner already. We decided we better try it. The menu has only a half dozen pizzas to choose from and a daily special. You order and pay and then wait to be seated. It is packed so you end up sharing tables with other parties which is neat. Our pizza arrived within 5-10 minutes. We had the daily special - pesto and mozzarella. It was so tasty. The others at the table had ordered all different pizzas and they all looked amazing. The crust is doughy and soft. The flavour of the pesto was delicious. I only wish I was more hungry so we could try more! read more

Gusta Pizza - pesto & mozzarella pizza - Italian Near Me - Florence, FI

Highly recommend to anyone visiting Florence. Pizzas are extremely delicious and served right out of the oven. They come with a thick crust and a thin center... the dough is really yummy. You can get a pizza margarita for only 5 euro! Additionally, you can ask for your pizza in a heart shape! read more

Gusta Pizza - Pizze buone ! - Italian Near Me - Florence, FI

Delicious. There's a reason I had multiple people recommend it to me. My husband and I both loved it. He got the vegan pizza (which wasn't much) but he said it was great. It's very packed since it is so good, but totally worth the wait! The pizzas are the perfect size for 1 hungry person, or 2 semi hungry people. Take it to-go and go sit on some stairs or find a bench in the nearby square. You won't regret it! read more

If I could I would eat Gusta every night. If you stay across the river it is more than worth the trip. A pizza is around 6 euros which you cannot beat, and it is always ready within minutes. Excellent friendly staff, even better pizza! 10/10 read more

Gusta Pizza - Margherita pizza - Italian Near Me - Florence, FI

I miss this place so much! When I was a student in Italy, I would come here at least once a week. My school was located in Santo Spirito, so it was really convenient for me to just walk around the corner to get some delicious pizza! This is seriously the best pizza I've ever had, and I have been turned off by any pizza now since being back in the States. Nothing will ever compare! I would always order the Calabrese with the spicy salami. The bread is chewy, the mozzarella is tasty and stringy, and the meat is to die for. I would often eat the whole pizza in one sitting and not feel completely horrible afterwards because it was all worth it. You can either dine in (limited seating) or take your pizza to-go. Eat it on the steps of the Santo Spirito Church or walk a few blocks to eat next to Palazzo Pitti. The pizza is cheap, 5-7€. I really can't wait until I return to Florence! Gusta Pizza will definitely be one of my first meals! read more

Best pizza that my boyfriend and I tried in our few days in Florence. It's across the river, a little farther from the hustle and bustle. We waited in a line around the corner of the restaurant. They have a seamless process for ordering, it seems as though they are very used to a high volume of customers! Don't mistakenly order a calzone when you wanted pizza. Menu is in Italian. Crust is very good, and although it is a small dining area, you can get your pizza to go and eat it while watching the scenery and locals. read more

Service is quick and friendly. Each pizza is between 6-10 euro. Ordered the Calabrese with mozzarella and spicy salami which was not very spicy at all but was still tasty. If you're hungry enough you could eat one yourself. Decided to split it for a quick lunch. read more

Gusta Pizza - Calabrese pizza - Italian Near Me - Florence, FI

Very good pizza, and you can't beat the prices. I went here expecting to have my mind blown. That did not happen, but only because I've enjoyed so much good pizza here. This was right up there with the best, it just wasn't better than the best. The pizzas all come with buffala, which is excellent. The crust was the best I've had in Florence. The sauce was fresh and tasty, but compared with the other great pizzas I've had here, it left something to be desired: cooking. The sauce tasted uncooked. Still quite good, but not how I prefer my pizza sauce. If I was in the area again, I would happily return and be very glad I did. But I wouldn't make a special trip across Florence to eat here. It was great, but there are other places equally great. read more

This place is hella bomb I accidentally ordered the anchovy pizza and I fucking hate anchovies but luckily I got to try my friends pizza

this spot was so hyped we were sorely disappointed especially since we just had il pizzaiuolo which is my absolute favorite while the photos look great the pizza itself was very flat - the crust was too floppy the sauce was too watery the cheese came off in globs (i hate when this happens rather than stretching) read more

This is a great interpretation of a classic pizza joint... Just in Florence. It's a small place on the other side of the river, near Santo spirito. There are about 5 large communal type tables that you can sit at if you don't want to head to the Piazza to enjoy your pizza. I noticed most people taking their Pizza to go with some wine and heading a block away to find a spot on the busy Piazza to cook and take it all in. There are about six or eight choices per day of pizza on the menu... all of them use the delicious, moist yet crunchy crust that makes this pizza stand out. The place is run by a couple of young guys who really get it use fresh high-quality ingredients. Check it out for some seriously good pie. read more

I just have have HAVE to write Gustapizza a review! I did not know they had a listing til recently, but I visited this place summer 2013! Studying abroad, my group with CEA - Firenze got the heads up about this place. Actually, it seems like a lot of foreigners did but honestly it is the BEST DAMN PIZZA I've had in my life! I will admit I am a rabbit- eater: I eat tiny little meals frequently and never finish anything. Well, that all changed in Italy and it started here. Much less than simply having one slice, I would eat the WHOLE THING. IT. IS. THAT. GOOD. I doubt I will ever find a pizza that compares. They sell wine and if my memory serves, the whole margarita pizza is 5 euros! read more

Let me caveat that my 3-star review is based solely on their non-pizza food. I foolishly did not check Yelp before dining here, and ended up missing out on what I hear is their specialty! Regardless, some of their other food: Ham and salami app: Prosciutto was a little tough. Other 3 meats were good. Salami was nicely spiced. Lasagna: Good. Meat sauce had nice flavor. Pesto tartelle: Solid, but nothing special Meatball: Not bad. read more

The best pizza I've had in my life! There is a constant line out the door, but the line goes quick because the service is fast. Very friendly service too. I ordered the pizza option on the bottom of them menu...forgot what it was called, but it had the most delicious buffalo mozzarella ever! The crust was soft and chewy. It was delicious! Can't beat the price either! Our one pizza was enough for two people. It only cost 7, maybe 8 euro for the whole thing! When I come back to Florence, I will definitely be stopping in again! read more

Very good, small pizza joint. Be aware that it will get extremely crowded with both locals & students, especially at lunchtime - so either arrive early or just plan to wait or get it to go. Since they are pretty fast and efficient about moving people through you won't wait long but you'll end up likely sitting with other folks in a community style dining situation. All the pizzas were good, I suggest getting a couple and just sharing with your friends, spouse, etc. Good place to check out for unpretentious pizza. read more

This place only gets 5 stars because the calzone was very good! DO NOT get the Pizza Napolitana or what ever it's called.... -it has the name Napoli in it- The Napoli pizza is straight "garbagio" terrible, I felt like I was 12 again going to the beach and getting shoved in the salty water by the violent waves that don't let me stand up and catch a break! That's right! Salty AS Fck! For starters it has anchovies and some other type of fish, also lots of sea salt, followed by some citrus salty spices.... I truly believe the Napoli Pizza was a bet (inside joke) to see how many Americans they can get to taste it and fake that they like it! They must be rolling in the ground crying of laughter at the end of the day! Like "did you see his/her face after she took that bite". Well on the good side.... the calzone is very very tasty, the bread is so soft and fluffy! The cheese is very flavorful and the meat cooked perfectly! Portion feeds 2.... you won't regret the calzone! If you want to prank a friend tell him to get the Napoli pizza! You'll have a laugh the second he tries it! read more

Rubbery and chewy crust, we ordered a calabrese, very little salami on the pizza and the pizza came out wet. We were charged a 33% service charge. Very dishonest business for mediocre food. I am not sure what the hype is. read more

One of the best pizzas in Florence! Ordered the Margherita and Calabrese. Both were perfectly cooked in the wood oven fire. Excellent sauce, cheese and chewy crust. Service was quick and very good, everyone was very accommodating. Seating is open so you will eat with strangers. I loved it, we met some pretty cool people. Pizza was worth the line and the wait. I will be back next time in Firenze! read more

Such beautiful and delicious pizza creations! When we went, there were the standard top 5 choices as well as 2 specials of the day. All reasonably priced (€6-9) and all equally hard to choose from. Thankfully we went during off season cause seating is limited (there's about 8 tables and a constant stream of people) but well worth the stop!!! read more

Gusta Pizza - Ricotta and spinach (special of the day), mushroom+olives + mozzarella (also special of the day), gustapizza - Italian Near Me - Florence, FI

My friends and I heard great things about Gustapizza and decided to try it out last week. The restaurant opened at 7 p.m. and we waited in a short line for about 15 minutes waiting for it to open. Once they opened, the staff was very friendly and welcoming. We were sat quick, given menus, and they asked for our drink orders. The staff was open to answering questions about the menu and gave recommendations as well. The restaurant was small and cozy and had an open floor plan with a brick oven that was visible from the tables, giving the restaurant a warm and friendly feel. The ingredients were fresh and the pizza as a whole was delicious. We all got different types of pizza and everyone loved their choice. They also had tables outside, which would be great for the warmer seasons. I would highly recommend Gustapizza and will definitely go back. read more

AMAZING!! It definitely lives up to the hype. When I studied abroad in Florence I ate at Gusta probably 4 times a week and never got tired of it. It was probably the best pizza I've ever had. I can't wait to go back to Florence so I can eat here again! read more

The BEST pizza in Florence. Hands down. It can get a little busy inside and there's very limited seating. Also, they only take cash - no cards. I recommend getting there right before they open at 7 pm. Or take it to-go and eat it along the river or in front of the Medici Palace. Either way, it's amazing! read more

My favorite pizzeria in all of Italy. It's just SO good that it doesn't matter how many people you have to elbow to get into the place, it's worth it. I'm a fan of the margarita because it's got that thin, crispy crust (with perfect black spots from the inferno oven), sweet, fresh tomato sauce, and dollops of mozzarella. It's simple but perfectly done. 10/10 every single time I go. read more

This pizza is really good. A nice thin crispy crust and good ingredients on top for a very reasonable price. I've been staying in this neighborhood for the past week and a half and frequently see long lines of people waiting to eat there. That's the downside, but again, the pizza is great. read more

This was the best pizza I had in Italy all throughout our trip....and it was 6€ !! Who can beat that?! We had a pretty long day touring around wine country (Tuscany/Montalcino) after stuffing our faces during lunch and drinking so much wine, I felt like Tyrion Lanister,..we were exhausted but needed food. I had this place bookmarked because of all the amazing reviews from friends. So glad we made it because it was worth every step getting here. The service was fast and friendly. Simple menu and family style/open seating. We shared a margarita pizza between the two if us...and it was perfect. The pizzas come out piping hot and the ingredients are as fresh as it comes. Loved every bit of it!!! I almost wish I came sooner, so I could eat it once every day! read more
