This restaurant is located just off the street in the old section of Istanbul. My personal favorite is to dine at one of their outdoor tables, which is situated right along the street. You can truly take in the atmosphere of the city from this position. They also have a very nice interior dining experience. If you choose to sit inside, the doors are generally open, so you still get all of the air and and the ambience while remaining someone protect from the elements. Their food, as their name implies, focuses on pizza and pasta dishes. The pizzas are very good. I truly recommend them. There's several options to choose from and I'm sure you'll be able to find something that answers your specific desires. They also have the expected, soft drinks, beer, wine, plus they offer a truly nice selection of cocktails. My wife always goes for one of those more fruity drinks, and she truly enjoys their Mojito. Overall, great dining experience. It's casual, it's fun, and the food taste very good Recommended!

While the prosciutto, dried tomatoes and walnuts were a great addition to the arugula, the salad was drowned in vinegar and buried under a disproportionate amount of cheese. As for the pizza, it was plain and the sparsely sprinkled fresh basil, barely-there tomato sauce or not-no-spicy olive oil did not really stand a chance against all the cheese. The service was very friendly and I liked the atmosphere sitting in a comfy chair tucked away in a corner upstairs. This place offers breakfast and is a coffee hangout during the day. Prices are very reasonable.

Similar to pizza you may have enjoyed elsewhere, these are hand tossed dough that are topped and formed into a boat shape before going into the oven. Three masters at work here. One master pizza tosser and topper. One master baker. And one master organizer who runs the phones and manages the deliveries. (You can take it to go or eat at one of their tables.) There are a few different toppings available - lamb, cheese, chopped veggies - and they are made to order. But there are only a certain number of doughs and when they're out, they are out. There are bottled and canned drinks available. My Cola Turka tasted just like RC Cola!

Get there and easily seated. Small place but people were constantly going in and out and place was buzzing with tourist and locals alike. Menu properly labelled with prices so not a tourist trap. Sat down and ordered the lamb chops and the Adana kebabs (minced meat). Both dishes outstanding. The lamb chops were the best I've ever had. Grilled just right to perfection. Seasoned well with Turkish spices and meat was juicy. The kebabs were the same. Juicy and succulent and perfectly seasoned. Came with complimentary lavash and spicy hummus dip and some pickled veggies. Service quick and portion sizes just right. When in Istanbul, a must try for sure. Cheers! Happy eating!
