Not sure what all the hype is about-- pizza was just average and the cashier was a bit rude. Lots of tourists. Pizza was okay, but we're definitely not dying to go back. read more

Pizza is OUT OF THIS WORLD! There was a line when we arrived, but it moved quickly and it was SO WORTH IT! Two people in our party had the special with pesto, and I had the Gusta Pizza. Any pizza you get will be amazing...the crust is so good, and the sauce really hits the spot. YUM! read more

A MUST try for Florence tourists! Lived in Italy for 4 months and I'm convinced this place has the best pizza in the country. I got the pesto pizza (special of the day) with tomatoes added. Be sure to ask for it in the shape of a heart! :) read more

Best pizza in all of florence. It's a must go, the line gets kinda long but it's worth the wait. Can get various shapes of pizza like the famous pizza heart. Can take out and eat right in the piazza. Highly recommend. read more

Found this place on Yelp and was super close to where we were staying. We got lucky there was no line but it was pretty busy when we arrived. They have community seating which threw me off in a way because I tend to be an introvert but that's not easily done when you're in Italy during high season. Anyway, I'm glad we dined it. Our pizzas were done in less than 10 minutes. I got the margarita pizza. Perfect crust but too soft in the middle. However, the flavor was great and the ingredients were fresh. Even though I don't like tomatoes the sauce was freshly made with them. It was delicious. My only thing was that I would have liked more basil because their basil is soooooo fresh and potent. My mouth is watering as I write this. Service was great too! We also met a few people from the states which was nice and made the community seating a good experience haha. read more

OK, so it is good, very good. Still, not quite tops - that is reserved for Pizza Napoli, across the river. Slightly under cooked and the base was a bit thin - could not support the toppings. Had their daily special and their Gusto. Price was very reasonable. read more

A must go! Gusta pizza is a 10. You can't go wrong here. I went here with my parents in April of 2015 and returned in July 2015 with friends. It was initially suggested by a local shoemaker. We all agreed that it was the best pizza we have ever had. Enjoy! read more

Pizza had a great flavor, especially the crust. The place gets busy, so don't be surprised to not find a place to sit.

Went here based on a recommendation from friends. Hate to give a bad review, and maybe we caught this place on the wrong night, but didn't have a great meal or experience. The only thing positive was it was super inexpensive...you get what you pay for. Super crowded seating and loud interior. We were seated with 2 other couples that were also strangers. The pizza we had was the namesake pizza. It was charred on the bottom and runny in the middle. The sauce was unremarkable. We were given plastic forks and knives which made cutting the pizza challenging. The outside edge of the crust was tasty, but again, charred on the bottom. read more

Absolutely amazing pizza. Service is fast! Great to grab a quick snack during the day.

My favorite pizza place in all of Italy, much less Florence! I spent a few great evenings just grabbing a pizza margarita and sitting outside in the piazza. Yet, if you look closely, you will find my name amongst the other happy customers on the table. Please, if you happen to be in Florence, hunt down this treasure of a pizzeria! read more

It has been 3 years since my semester abroad and I still talk about Gusta Pizza every day. You simply cannot beat the price (I recently had a similar pizza in Chicago for 20 dollars!). This is simply my favorite pizza in the world- so simple, yet such an intimate experience and a rite of passage for anyone passing through Florence. If only they would open a location in the States! read more

Pizza was ok for me .. Dough was very chewy, and the center was soggy. The cheese was not melted well either. Tough to cut. My margharita pizza was also not hot when I got it. I have definitely eaten better pizza. read more

Amazing pizza. What else would you ask for? They make the pizza in the brick oven right in the same room where you eat, and everything is delicious--great flavors, chewy crust! read more

Gusta Pizza - Italian Near Me - Florence, FI

Not as good as Pizza Man but still top notch pizza and some of the nicest dudes in Florence. Try and get a heart shaped pizza if you have someone to impress. read more

The only thing I didn't enjoy about this place was how touristy it was. We went right at opening and there was already a line of 10+ people out the door. By the time we got our food (15 min later), The small pizza shop was inundated by Americans. However, don't let that deter you too much. The pizza is of the doughy variety and even the simple margherita pizza was extremely tasty. Also, if you were attracted to the heart shaped pizza like I was, you might have to inquire about them. I didn't and it was my biggest regret. read more

Very fun and relaxed pizzeria near Piazza Santo Spirito. I think it's a local institution, although it was filled with Americans when we were there. The pizza with spicy sausage was delicious, but the pizza of the day, ricotta with spinach, was too bland for my taste. read more

This is the best pizza you will ever have. Once you come here, you'll be searching for pizza that's even a fraction this good FOREVER. I had this five years ago and I'm still dreaming of it... so maybe it's better if you don't eat here... :) read more

Best pizza we had in Italy and one of the cheapest meals we had (15€ including drinks). We tried the caprese and the calabrese. Both were delicious but our fav was the calabrese. That spicy salami is addicting. We decided that if we make it back there one day we'll ask for a special pizza that would basically combine these 2 to include buffalo mozzarella, cherry tomatoes, spicy salami, and basil ... That would be heaven. We took our pizza to go and found a place to sit in the piazza outside Uffizi to be serenaded by a violinist. It was a memorable night! read more

Was not impressed with the pizza at all. Least favorite pizza I had here. Very confusing ordering/take out process. Heard of people getting kicked out for staying over 15 min? Well I left right away so that didn't happen to me. read more

Definitely one of the quickest and yummiest pizzas in town, though personally I think Pizza Man is a better deal. If you're in the area and looking for a quick bite though, there's nothing around that's better than Gustapizza. 5 euro for a basic margherita, but it's quite a bit smaller than other comparable pizzas at that price, maybe even half the size of a regular pizza. Usually overcrowded with American students studying abroad and tourists who hang around Santo Spirito. They can have an attitude if you don't order more than 1 pizza, and don't even think about getting a table for two people! read more

Very good price and comfy place to sit and relax. However, was slightly disappointed with the flavor. The dough is fluffy (a plus!) but it was extremely salty!!! I had the pizza with cheese and fresh tomato but that is without sauce (pretty surprising for me) and all i could taste was the salt in the dough. I'll probably give it another shot at some point since all of these reviews are so high, but with that first experience I wasn't impressed. read more

Fantastic pizza for a fantastic price. Such a great find in Florence. The people are friendly and warm.

Amaaazzzinnnnnnng pizza, deserves the hype. Good prices and never tasted anything like it. Simple style, lots of people eating outside on nearby church steps. Unless I'm missing something, I believe the address should be: Via Maggio, 46R, 50125 Firenze, Italy read more

Easily one of my favorite pizzas we had in Italy. It was around 7-8 euros for a decent sized pizza. What really stood out to me about this place was the yummy thick red sauce and the fact that you get to watch them make the pizzas right in front of you! I believe you can ask them to shape your pizza into a heart upon ordering too! The pizza was good and affordable, and worth a visit if you're ever in Florence. read more

The pizza is good, don't get me wrong, but it's super touristy. Don't be fooled into thinking that you're getting anything authentic from here. Not to mention it is always insane busy just stacked with Americans. If you're willing to take the chance it's really nice to get it and go sit on the steps of the church right behind it and eat and it is super cheap, just not my favorite. Definitely over hyped. People love it though. read more

Yummy yummy pizza! We ordered one of each and they were all delicious. The staff was super friendly and spoke English perfectly. Quick, delicious, authentic pizza. Highly recommend read more

The line may look intimidating but wait it out! It was around the corner when we got in line and we had our pizzas within 15 minutes! So worth it! The pizzas are a little small, so I'd recommend getting one per person! Don't worry though, they only cost $5-$8 and they are amazing! read more

Incredible pizza for one... or two. The crust is just cripsy enough and the cheese is divine. I would recommend the pesto pizza, which you can ask for even if it's not on the menu that day. While this place may be a little touristy, the pizza is completely worth waiting in line. Also, grab a bottle of house red while you're there, as it compliments the pizza wonderfully. I recommend taking your personal pizza and bottle up to the Piazzale Michelangelo for dinner with a breath-taking view of Florence. read more

We read reviews about this place and decided to follow through and check it out! The pizza is SO delicious, we kept wanting to go back to this pizza place. A must have while in Italy! Definitely recommend. read more

Had gone there with high hopes of "authentic" Italian pizza and it turned out to be an average American pizza joint. So if you are missing American pizza..then yes, go here.. Else this place is not for an Italian pizza seeking person. I'm guessing that the high review rating is due to the students from near by institution. read more

The Margarita pizza is amazing. It's toppings are simple, but that allows each ingredient to really shine. The chewy crust is amazing.

Great price, most toppings were lumped on one part of the pizza with no attention to detail. Still tastes great but I had to do some rearranging read more

Only because it's not possible to give a SIX star rating...!!! We saw this place on a TV show in the States, plus we heard great things about it from college kids we know who have studied abroad here. This place did not disappoint. Worth the (slightly) long walk from the Duomo, to be certain. I'll be back. read more

Very tasty, unique pizza for a good price, but it is very busy and you will be rushed when trying to order and find which pizza is yours when they lay them all out for you to sort. Beware that this is definitely Italian style pizza. It may not be what you expect as an American. It is flavorful, but it is slightly soupy, not cut, and calzone is the same as pizza; I'm not sure why it's called calzone. Enjoy! It's definitely authentic and Firestone cooked! read more

Best pizza my whole trip to Italy!! (And trust me I ate a lot of pizza :). Perfect sauce perfect crust perfect everything!! Will be dreaming about this place for a long time! read more

This place definitely lives up to all the hype. I was lucky enough to go on a day at lunch when there was no line, but would wait in line in the future. Definitely some of the best pizza I've had in Firenze. Simple, delicious and €5, what more could you ask for? read more

Amazing pizza. Cold drinks. We were in Florence for 4 days and ate here twice! The margarita and the spicy salami were by far our favorites. Order your own pizzas each-you won't regret it! read more

When people talk about Italian pizza, THIS is what they're talking about! Tucked away in my favorite piazza in the city, this pizzeria is enjoyed by locals and tourists alike. It's a MUST EAT! read more

Amazing, friendly and inexpensive. Im traveling alone and they even insisted i sit with a group so I have friends. Oh and DELICIOUS!!! Well situated by Pitti and after a day of walking the gardens you need a good pizza and some vino. I love this place! read more
