Al pruneto

I went on Saturday night for dinner with my family at the suggestion of a colleague. This pizzeria had been recommended to me in particular for the goodness of its gluten-free pizza (we have 2 celiacs in the family). In general, I must say that I was quite pleasantly surprised: small but nice place, good choice of dishes, commendable the fact that all the appetizers had a gluten-free option (I tried crocché, montanara and chips and I must say everything was good!). The dessert was also excellent (too bad they had run out of gluten-free lemon delights - but I will return hoping to find it) and definitely a special mention for the normal pizza because objectively one of the best Neapolitan ones that can be found at least in the province of Perugia... but the gluten-free pizza was really not good!.. it's a shame because from the photos they showed me and from the reviews of other celiacs who had been there, the pizza should have been really good.. instead it was objectively ugly to look at, very heavy, full of oil, with an extremely heavy cord and a strong tendency to crumble.. in short.. bad bad. Now, I imagine and hope that it was a coincidence, a change of recipe... I think I will return to give it a second chance.. but I ask the owners if objectively I interpreted correctly and there was a "failed" change of recipe, or if I have to give up because the recipe is that one and objectively it is not valid... a ready-made base is objectively much, much, much better...

I do not recommend this place. In reference to the gluten-free pizza, heavy and chewy dough, overly seasoned and cloying. Regarding the latter, I found a compromising acidity in two red pizzas out of three that we took (the third was white and without any anomalies) and when I wrote my note, the waitress in an unprofessional and rude manner replied that they make tomato sauce that way and that maybe I could have something else. We sent back full plates and no one questioned anything. In general, very slow service and low quality considering that the place was empty.

The celiac friends at the table told me that the gluten-free pizza and fried foods were delicious, as was the gluten-free Ioi and Entropia beer. Even the pizzas for non-celiacs are excellent, and the beers on tap are the same!!! The icing on the cake is the kindness of Ilaria and Maria in the dining room. Advise
