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

As far as a Firenze version of Naples pizza goes this does it alright. Alright on pizza in Italy scale is about a 7.2. If you want something the way nature intended it to be go to the source. Every corner of this city is rabid with tourism. The city officials should really rethink what they've done. Bring back a threshold of excellence. Implement a dress code. Anything helps, so the cardboards signs frequently say. For the record Cotto is not Parma. Standard service. I like this restaurants style of waitress. Take your order. See ya later. Over all 3.5 but I won't round up. read more

I had Gusta pizza on our list of places to eat during our stay in Florence. Lucky for us we were staying just steps away at Soprano. The line can get pretty long but we decided to swing back by later in the evening (closer to 10p) the day we wanted to try them. When we returned the line was much shorter but we opted for take out instead and ate at our hotel. We ordered two pizzas to go. I asked for something spicy, since I like it hot! My bestie went with four cheese. He later asked if I wanted to try his but I really didn't want four cheeses so I declined. My spicy pizza was tasty! I couldn't finish it all but I did put a big dent in it, three out of four slices devoured. We grabbed sodas to go and enjoyed our dinner back in the privacy of our quiet hotel library. Gusta was very busy and every table was taken, it was nice to have a yummy take out option so close to us. Highly recommend if you're in the area. The sauce, dough/crust, and toppings all came together quite nicely. I consider myself a pretty tough pizza critic and I enjoyed my choice. I think you will too! Price absolutely can't be beat. I don't know that I've ever had a pizza this affordable. This was the only pizza I ate on this trip to Italy, and I can say I was totally satisfied with it. read more

We had multiple people tell us they wouldn't speak to us if we skipped Gusta Pizza in Florence, so you know we had to go! The hype - and American word of mouth - is STRONG with this one. Clearly, everyone got the same recommendation because the line is constantly out the door! If I were to do it again, I'd get the pizza to go and go eat it somewhere for a sunset view - the to-go line is way shorter. I love that there's a short list of options - they all sounded incredible! We opted for the pesto one and the salami one (plus added truffle oil). The crust and toppings flavors of both were delicious, but I found the bottom part in the center to be a bit undercooked and gooey. I love a crispy za, so maybe that's just me! Definitely ask for the chili oil condiment to dip your crust in. Service is brief and speedy - they're definitely trying to crank folks through (which was honestly kinda nice after many 2+ hour meals!). However, it did feel a bit rushed to get others in and felt a little chaotic inside. Awesome pizza, some of the best we had in Florence - I'd just do takeout and ask for a bit more cooked next time! read more

One of the best Pizza places in Florence. Its worth the wait and not a lot of seating but take it to go. Price is good and you won't be disappointed. read more

I been trying to find a great pizza place in Italy, while in Florence I found this place. Definitely the best pizza I have had. Pizza is amazing, very authentic. Great service! Comfortable outdoor seating. read more

Worth the hype and wait! Short walk from Uffizi gallery. We came here on a Saturday around 2pm and had to wait for about 15 mins. Excellent pizza, one of the best I have ever tried. You cannot go wrong with any of the options. It was just a very hot day and wanted something relatively light - so we went with Caprese pizza, beyond delicious. Highly recommend this spot if you are in Florence. read more

Gusta Pizza - Caprese Pizza - Italian Near Me - Florence, FI

Let's start by saying, don't come here if you're REALLY hungry (or maybe have a snack..?). There's going to be a wait, there's always a queue but it moves along. So enjoy the new people you meet, the pizza is worth it. The pizza was AMAZING. Perfect crust, the pesto's olive oil was delicious and the burrata tasted like it was freshly made that day. I'll be sad when I leave Firenze/Florence and have to say goodbye to this place. If you don't like a queue, you can order inside for takeaway too. read more

Yes, it was that good. We waited in the queue for about 30 minutes and were shown to our table. They're trying hard to turn over tables as quickly as possible here so don't expect to be able to dither around when your meal is done. In, eat, out. And that's okay. Gusta Pizza is not typical European slow pace. It's also a Diners Dives and Drive-ins restaurant, visited by Guy Fieri https://www.foodnetwork.com/shows/diners-drive-ins-and-dives/videos/fillin-up-in-florence#. And honestly, that's why this was a bookmark on my list. I'm glad we came. Two fantastic pizzas (I had the Napoli with anchovies and capers), a beer, an Aperol sprits later, and we were back out to do more touristing. There are lots of pizza places in Firenze. This is a good one. [Review 17048 overall - 243 in Italy - 564 of 2022.] read more

Everything about this place wowed me! This was a favorite of our daughter when we lived in ItalyThe pizza was absolutely delicious. We ordered from here twice while we were in Florence because it was so good. read more

Oh yah, worth the wait yet we got here 11:50 and there were open seats. They fill up and then 30+ minutes to wait but that's fine because you need an appetite as the pizzas are cheap and you'll want to eat the whole pie as the Italians do. A margarita pie is 7 euro and same price as the Spritz. Order a select spritz as it pairs better with the red pizza sauce IMO. Wife ordered Aperol as she likes it a tad sweeter than select. (Select is the OG) read more

There was a long line, but a short wait. Don't let the long line of people turn you away! First off, the food was incredible. It was served within 15 minutes of ordering and was piping hot! We talked to the friendly waiter and she recommended the pesto pizza. So that's what we did! We got the pesto pizza, margarita pizza and the original gusto pizza in a heart shape! Little tip, ask for extra basil on the side of margarita pizza! We sat inside and the music and vibes were incredible! All of the workers had big smiles on their faces! I added an updated picture of the menu below and a picture of their famous "gustapizza"! read more

Delicious and worth the hype. We got there right at opening but didn't make it in on the first wave. The wait was not bad, and it moves quickly so don't be discouraged. We had the pesto pizza and the calabrese. Both were excellent! The servers were very nice and prices are good! read more

Located off the Ponte Santa Trinita, had 2 pizzas: the margherita and porcini with sausage. The tomato sauce on the margherita was great, while the porcini mushrooms were fresh on the second. Lines start forming before opening, so get there early and be prepared to wait! read more

Pizza, pizza, pizza... that is all they have here at Gusta! We are almost pizza'd out; however, the Gusta reviews had us out trying pizza one more time! Three of us shared two pizzas, and could not finish them. That said, most customers had a whole pizza to themselves. We of course had to have the quattro fromagi to compare it to the others we have had while in Italy. It was the best one yet. We also had the pest pizza that had a big piece of burrata in the middle. Both pizzas were delectable! This place gets packed, so either go a little early or be prepared to wait a bit! I highly recommend this place if you want pizza and nothing else. read more

Best pizza we had in all of Italy! I got the pesto burrata pizza and we agreed that was the best one. Service was fast and accommodating for a larger party! Dreaming of going back. read more

Not all pizza in Italy is good, or even ok, but this pizza was absolutely delicious! Crust was thin, but not too thin, they were generous with the toppings and the flavor. We ordered two so we could try a couple. The pesto and the truffle. They were both incredible!!!! And enough for 3-4 people! We must go back to try the classic margherita Gusta style. By the way, there's always a line! It's worth the wait! And the line goes faster than you think, fo not hesitate! Final note, we skipped breakfast, we ate about 3/4 of both pizzas around 2pm, and skipped dinner. read more

If you don't come here while you're in Florence, then you never experience what pizza really tastes like. Great service and fast with the pizza. Enjoy a pizza solo with a beer or order a few to share. All the ingredients are from local farmers and you can taste the difference. They're also open late so if the line is too long come through later in the night! read more

It's not five star worry to my standard but defiant I can see why it's a favorite to a-lot of people. So reasonable for a whole pie. Chewy crust and thin pizza. We just had dinner for the street and really FIL so we canted to try this after a walk. We got the cheese and Moscarello cheese pizza. The tomato sauce was very just tomato tastinglike more herbs and seasoning in my sauce. It was fresh tasting and everyone else enjoyed the lower sodium pizza. We took out instead of waiting. It is faster that way but we ate it standing up read more

Gusta Pizza is a must when visiting Florence. There was a line to get in but we had dressed warmly so we're fine sitting at an outside table so we could get seating sooner (10 minutes). Got the house red wine which was perfect and I can't think of a better pizza I've had. All 5 of us order a different pizza and we sampled each others orders. Prepare to wait but it's worth it. read more

Worth the wait, absolutely delicious freshly prepared pizza! They have 15 Pizzas on the menu and believe me that is all they need. We waited in line for around 30 minutes, were seated inside and it was a treat to watch the pizza makers as they danced to the music. We ordered margarita pizza that was just perfect and delicious along with a Calabrese pizza which was spicy salami, mozzarella and red sauce. It was crazy good. High tops inside regular tables outside. Be careful if you go to the bathroom it is downstairs with really steep stairs. read more

BEST PIZZA IN FLORENCE! We had a lot of good pizza on this trip but my favorite would have to be Gustapizza. The pesto pizza was absolutely incredible with a huge chunk of cheese in the middle. I also loved the calabrese pizza. The spicy salami is pretty much like our pepperoni but better! There was a long line but I walked across the street to Gustabar and grabbed some wine for us to enjoy while we waited in line. If you love pizza, you'll love Gustapizza! read more

This place will have a super long line as reviews mention. However, we did wait in the long line and I think it was at least 30-40 mins. We chose to order to go so once we ordered it was another 30 mins to make our pizza, obviously longer if you want to eat there. I did not get a picture of the pizzas as we were all starving once we trekked back to the apt with the pizzas. Overall pretty darn good pizza, the best we had in Florence. Worth the wait if wanting good pizza. read more

A Florence classic! I feel like almost everyone goes here! Hence the super long wait!! Honestly speaking it's overhyped but still delicious! I was just expecting better after hearing all about how great it was! The pesto and tartufo pizza were delicious and decently priced! The margharita pizza is super cheap and amazing!! I would definitely recommend getting that pizza, a simple classic!! Yummy pizza and would go back! Just prob wouldn't wait another 2 hours for it. read more

Highly rated on yelp(must be paid ads). Pizza is mediocre. Staff is very rude. Lady insulted the old lady at table next to us. They act like they are doing you a favor letting you be there. The rest of Florence is very centered on hospitality. Tons of better places in the city without 1 hour long line. This place was awful. read more

Best piazza I have ever tasted. I ate there many times during my stay in Florence! I also ordered takeout my flat was very close to Gusta. The line can get very long but it's a short wait. It's a place to eat your piazza and move on. Great conversations at the communal tables. Go you won't be sorry! read more

There's always a line out the door for this pizza place. The servers are friendly and they have indoor and outdoor seating. The pizzas are large enough for two people which I love, although the food was great I was a little underwhelmed. It might have been because we were sitting outside and it was cold but the crust was a little too burnt for my liking and not as flavorful as I hoped. Still great pizza but not the best I've had. read more

The best pizza I had in Florence!! We got the truffle and pesto pizzas (both heart shaped), but sadly didn't get a chance to take a picture as we were starving and ate it all immediately. The dough was so soft, the burrata was AMAZING and contrasted perfectly with the warm pizza. If you don't want to queue in the line (as it's a small shop), simply get takeaway and bring it to a bench or park! read more

I'm a pizzaholic and run my own pizza Instagram, so heading to Italy, the home of pizza, was beyond exciting for me. Some of the best pizza I had was at Gusta. Their pesto/burrata pizza was unbelievably good. The crust was perfectly chewy and charred. If you are in Florence, Italy, this is a must-stop. read more

This spot can have a really long line but I promise it goes by fast, and it's so worth it! My favorite is the Calabrese which has the perfect kick to every bite. I usually will pick up a pizza and eat it nearby outside as seating inside is limited. read more

Instead of waiting to be seated skip the line and go to the take out side! The pizza is so hot and thin that it only took about 10-15 minutes for our pizza to be in our hands. We sat by the church steps a few meters away from the restaurant and enjoyed our pizza without the service charge. It came out to $20 euros for two pizzas which is a steal. The dough was gummy and had so much flavour and oh my the mushrooms were . A lot of people said the wait is not worth it but so far on my trip this is the best pizza we've had. When in Florence this is definitely something worth trying. read more

Well, I guess it is one of the best places for pizza in Florence. it's always crowded and people normally take 'to go' and eat outside at the stairs of Basilica di Santo Spirito. You wait in line to order, then hope a table will open up by the time your pizza is ready but nope. The staff makes pizzas INCREDIBLY fast (with a smile) in the wood-clad oven so the line moves along nicely. We ordered some tomato cheese pizza ( Totale Complessivo). The pizzas were amazing also the price is not the expensive side. Under 10 euro, you will get delicious taste. There are only about 6-7 menu choices but every pie that we ordered was fantastic and came out of the wood-fired oven quickly. If you are looking for a quiet restaurant this is not the place. If you are looking for amazing pizzas, don't wait or mess around elsewhere. Run to Gustapizza! You will not be disappointed. read more

There will probably be a queue when you arrive but it's absolutely worth the wait. Get a spritz too!

Having just left Napoli I was excited seeing that they had "vera pizza napoletana" in Florence but was quickly disappointed with the thick and chewy crust and flavorless unseasoned porcini pizza. But the service was very nice. I recommend getting there 30-40 min before open to avoid a long wait. read more
