One of the best pizza.. n if it's better than NYC pizza, u have to love it... I've try other pizza here and nothing like Gusta.. The service was pretty quick but the wait for the pizza was about 20 mins after ordered.. The people were very nice that attended to us as well.. Would come again here.. read more

This is the best pizza you will find in Florence. Hands down. It is a small little pizza place across the river Arno and you can either eat it there or take it out to the santo spirito steps and eat it there in the sunshine (weather permitting). I always look forward to getting either the gusta pizza or the classic margarita pizza! Would absolutely recommend to anyone coming to Florence. read more

Unbelievable fresh, flavorful pizza you can't find back home! So this is my first review in Italy; I feel like I owed it to one of the best pizzas I have ever had. I've been to a few other places but the food here blew me away down to every single ingredient. Where to begin. The establishment is on the smaller side a few blocks down from a bridge. Not a bad walk at all (just don't get hit by the insane drivers). I had a feeling since we went around the time they opened on a Saturday night the crowd would be crazy. When we first arrived, the line was out the door extending to the corner. All of my friends and I were starving. We couldn't handle a long wait. I went up to the "host" where he explained to me, as well as he could: we place our order, wait for our food outside, and then we're seated once the food is ready. It's a ticket system during busy times. The wait wasn't bad at all like we were expecting. We were seated after 15 minutes (and mind you we had a group of 9 so we were worried). The guy that took our order wasn't the nicest, he rushed us, but I understand considering he probably deals with annoying tourists on a daily basis. Our food was put a top the shelf in front of where they make the pizza just a few minutes l after we were seated. We all ordered wine, which we didn't realize was self serving until we received our food. Once settled with wine and food, we dug in. The pizza was glorious. I'm trying to figure out the next time I can get over there within the next few weeks. It was that good. And it was at such a decent price. I ordered the Calabrese pizza for €7 which included pomodoro (sauce), mozzarella, spicy salami and basil. Out of this world. Every ingredient was fresh and packed a ton of flavor, hence why I will be describing each one. The crust: soft yet had a slight amount of chewiness. I liked how it had a substantial crust to it; thick and bready. The crust was beautifully colored with char at some points from the oven. I will say though, it was on the salty side but oh so delicious. It was a perfect support to all the juices and toppings. The sauce: you could tell it was made fresh. It just bursted with a flavor I've never experienced from sauce before, which is saying a lot since I've come from an Italian family. I'm not a huge fan of sauce; I'm not one to dip crust, breadsticks or anything in it. But while I was eating dinner tonight I wish I had more of their sauce to dip the thick crust in it was so good! The mozzarella: As delicious as I expected. It was so delectable! Soft and creamy yet held its form. My friend actually couldn't finish her entire pizza and she didn't want to bring it home so I ate all the mozzarella off of her last slice. I feel like in repeating myself but it just had such an unbelievable flavor. I can see myself just eating an entire ball of mozzarella for a snack. The salami: Crispy yet fatty in a great way. I loved how the fat melded with the sauce and juices of the mozzarella to create a sauce in its own. There wasn't a significant amount of liquid but enough to dip some of my crust into it. Delicious. As a cute little thing, my group and I signed our ticket number and put it in a barrel under the glass table top. There were hundreds there signed by people around the world. It was really neat. Overall, I will be back here. No doubt. I want to get one in the shape of a heart. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a good Italian pizza. You even get to see them make the pizza (if there is room to stand in there)! I hope to go on a less busy day so we can enjoy the atmosphere more. I've heard authentic Italian food was good, but the ingredients just blow my mind at this place. read more

It was a short wait , but it does get packed quickly. The Pizza was great and not that expensive. If you are in the area I would highly recommend going once read more

By far the best pizza in Florence. Worth the walk across the Arno to the less-touristy part of town. They put extra or light cheese and the ingredients are fresh. A line forms but they serve you very fast read more

Must try GustaPizza! Superb quality and taste. I recommend taking the pizza and enjoying it on the steps of Santo Spirito less than 100 meters away with live music, drinks and people watching. read more

I studied abroad in Italy last year and realistically still think about Gusta Pizza at least once a week. It is simply amazing- there is no better way to put it. I am simple so I got the plain Margherita all three times that I went, and it is just so good!!! You can watch them making it right in front of you while standing in the huge crowd of people waiting to snag a table at this place. Very reasonable and definitely a must-go when in Florence!! read more

This was one of the best places my friend and I dined at in Florence. We found out about this place when we met a guy on a ferry to Burano (we named him "forgettable Shay") who clearly was looking for a couch to crash on for the night. (Which did NOT happen! Ain't nobody got time for mysterious strangers!) We may have forgotten what his face looked like but we remembered his suggestions for cheap eats I was traveling on a strict budget by the time we hit Florence and this place was perfect. The prices and the food were awesome! We ordered two of the pizzas from their small menu. None of the pizzas cost more than 10€. You have never tasted spicy pepperoni until you've had it in Italy. That pizza was heavenly and so was the ham and mushroom one we also ordered. We ate like queens on a very tiny budgetI think my friend also bought one to take home. The service was good and the people running the restaurant are very traveler friendly. The location is not far from the river and most of the museums so it's a great spot to relax and replenish after a long day of museum hoping. Overall, great food, great staff, good location and awesome prices. I wish I was there now... read more

Nice vibe, doughy pizza. Worth walking a bit further up the street to La Mangiatoia for the real deal.

The first meal that wowed me in Italy. 8€ for a huge personal pizza that changed my life for the better. Also Guy Ferrari had his picture on the wall so you know it's good. HIGHLY recommend. read more

The best pizza I have eaten in Italy so far in 3 cities. It was terrific crust mixed with delicious gravy and fresh mozzarella. Was very quick and efficient process. Order and pay for your food and when your number is called your table is ready and pizza is not far behind. read more

Our tour guide who grew up in Florence told us about this place. It is crazy busy, but that makes the atmosphere fun! There was a line out the door as we were warned about, but it didn't feel like we waited forever to order and get seated. I was excited to see the cheese-less pizza on the menu, and while both our pizzas were salty (not sure if it was the dough or the sauce) it was delicious! read more

Not the best experience pizza was ok but the staff was overwhelmed asked for 2 cups of marinara and got 2 marinara pizza instead. When tried to fix the misunderstanding I got an argumentative cook saying that's what I ordered when all I wanted was the sauce . Not A Great first expierance probably will not be a second time read more

It was good, but not the best I had. Probably would have been a 5 star if they had left the pizza in a little bit longer. Crust was just underdone. read more

As a pizza lover, I must say that I was disappointed in this place. It was highly recommended to me by my tour guide as one of the best pizza places in Florence. However, I thought the crust and dough was too doughy (not thin or crunchy enough) and the middle was too soggy. The same went for my husband's pizza. The middle was too undercooked so you had to really eat it with a fork and knife. The taste was there but overall I was disappointed. read more

See all

absolutely spectacular pizza. From the dough to the sauce, the ingredient quality and the taste are superb.

Hands down best pizza in Firenze. You haveeee to go, we went two nights in a row during our stay in Italy. Make sure you go before 3 or after 7. read more

UNBELIEVABLE PIZZA. Fresh. Healthy. I ate my entire pizza. I ordered the arugula one and it was exploding on top with fresh arugula, cherry tomatoes, and cheese. My friend ordered the mushroom pizza which was extremely unique and superb. Truly amazing. It is impossible to be disappointed! Trust me! read more

As Good as it Gets. My wife and I went to this place on our trip to Florence about 5 years ago. I was telling a friend who it traveling there in a few weeks about this place and realized I hadn't reviewed it yet. Some of the Best Pizza we have had.and as a tourist was a highlight of our trip. Was so great to enjoy a place that the locals love. We shared a Table (AKA Giant Wire spool) with a few people from Florence and they were great to talk with and to enjoy our Pizza. read more

I originally heard about gusta pizza while searching prior to my trip to Florence for places to eat, and came across it on Yelp when I was in the area. I will say this: the pizza is good. You're near a few sight seeing things so it's a great way to grab lunch, pizzas are around €4-6. It was overall a good place for pizza, but, what made it a not so great experience is that all the sorority girls studying abroad apparently go there. Which isn't the worst thing to ask for but the other customers I had to share a table with were a little annoying. Kinda kills your "Italian experienced" when you hear "like" said 70 times in a minute. I recommend grabbed it to go and picnic with it instead. read more

We had heard about this place from a friend, so we had to check it out. I have to say, the pizza was amazing. Apparently Guy Fieri from 'Diners, Drive ins, and Dives' has featured it as well. The crust is thick, which I like in a pizza. The calzone napoletano was really good as well! Filled with salami and gooey ricotta cheese, and all for a decent price. Myself and my friend ate here for €13 for a good sized pizza and a huge calzone. It's pretty crowded, so I suggest getting there a few minutes before it opens to ensure you get a seat! If you can't, some people took their pizza to go and ate right along the river-- also a good idea :) read more

A-mazing pizza. Literally a line out the door though so come before opening to avoid wait. Tables are shared. Cash only.

This place was recommended by a friend and I trusted the recommendation after following up with reviews online. It was the last restaurant visited during my stay in Florence, so I was pretty exicted trying to save the best for last. My family members and I ordered and shared a gustapizza, margherita, and calabrese. They were all just decent pizzas that did not live up to the hype for me, and my family members were disappointed too. The flavors of the sauce and cheese, and the consistency of the crust, were just bland. Perhaps my tastebuds are just biased towards NYC pizza. read more

NOPE. Be warned few tables. Walked in they said nothing to us but the tables were full so we waited for a table, while they watched us, found one and went to order drinks and a pizza and they said you have to order, then they will help us get a table. However, now there were 3 families in front of us. The place is TINY, they were looking right at us and did not give any clue as to we should have ordered ASAP. read more

We chose this restaurant based on the excellent reviews and also was open after 10 pm. We ordered the Margharita pizza for to go.The pizza was ready in 5 minutes.We were really skeptical looking at the pizza.It was like a blob of cheese on a red sauce and no basil leaves. We thought it would taste better. We took it to our room and ate it after 10 minutes.Alas it was the most soggiest and oily pizza we ever ate.We wanted to throw up.Kids said that it was the worst pizza they ever ate.Couldn't agree more. read more

Pizza was so amazing that we ate there twice in 1 day. Limited menu and loved everything on it. SImplicity is Genius

Got lucky with a short line and sweet (and pregnant!!) newlyweds at our table to chat with. The pizza was amazing, as expected, and definitely affordable. A wonderful experience and meal!! read more

Super solid pizza at unbelievably cheap prices. Literally they can bang your pizza out in less than 2-3 minutes because that oven is so hot. I had the calabrese, I'm not sure why they don't call it by the usual 'diavola' name by the way, and its good but I wanted it spicier. Wife had the margherita and it too was good. Not the best pizza I've had in my life, not even top 5, but if you are hankering for pizza after perhaps visiting palazzo pitta or boboli gardens then you can do no wrong here. read more

Great place to get away from the busy tourist areas... Food was great and the prices were half what you pay just over the bridge... A very local and authentic feel to it, I had the calzone... Delicious! read more

This place was great. It was recommended to us, and it was worth it. It's a small joint that only sells small brick oven pizzas for one at an incredibly cheap price. The pizza is delicious. Great for lunch. Get there early because this place is popular. We arrived at 12pm and waited about ten minutes for our pizza. We left around 12:45pm and there was a long line out the door to order. read more

Being a tourist from California I was dead set on finding an amazing Italian pizza spot in Italy. And after a few days in Venice and being less than impressed Gusta pizza turned that around ! This pizza is amazing ! The best we had in Italy and at an amazing price. We went twice during our four days in Florence and probably could have eaten there for every meal. Definitely would recommend !! Yum Yum Yum. You won't be disappointed. read more

BEST. PIZZA. EVER. I was obsessed with this place when I studied abroad. When I returned to Florence, I literally went to the hotel to drop my things off and ran to Gusta. So amazing! A definite must-see in Florence. read more

Simple, delicious, inexpensive. 4.50 euros for a big marinara pizza, made in the moment and topped with fresh basil, garlic and olive oil. Seriously so good. Take the pizza and enjoy it in the plaza nearby with a beer or wine for great people watching and a delicious meal. I hope to have pizza this good again. read more

Arrived and found the line around the block (we were told up to an hour), mainly teenagers and young 20's, with no seating left inside. Waited for a bit them left. Definitely targeting the younger, eat on the sidewalk set. Might be a 5 stars for others but not for a family of five just wanting to grab a wholesome meal after a hard day of sightseeing. read more

I live in Philly where there is no shortage of good pizza places, but if I could transplant Gustos pizza in my neighborhood I could die happy. Honestly, the best pizza....ever!! From the sauce to the fresh mozzarella it doesn't get any better. My only regret is finding this place on my last day in Florence. The staff is also super helpful and helps you find a seat because this place is always packed! read more

Excellent, Best Brick Oven pizza in Florence. Everyone was so nice specially one of the workers he came from the same town that my husband was from Calabria! read more

This place lives up to the hype. The line is for eating in as well as takeaway. It looks long, but the line moves quickly. The menu selections seemed a little limited, but everything we got was great nonetheless. read more

I live about 2 minutes from here and I see people lined up. People reccomended me this place like crazy before I came and I was so disappointed. I have given it a try 3 times to be fair and each time im underwhelmed. I had better pizza just walking down the street and picking a place. I think that this place used to be great, emphasis on the used to. the prices are pretty good but thats about the only good thing you can find here. read more

Touristy but good. I recommend the Napoli but you can't go wrong with any of the other toppings. The crust is super doughy and service is fast. Seating is minimal but workers will find you a table with strangers if it is too crowded. read more

Very touristy, pizza is pretty good though. also you can get in a heart shape but thats about it
