The best pizza in town! Delicious. Gluten, lactose free or vegan options available. One can even try charcoal flour. Booking a table, especially for a larger crowd, strongly recommended. We came in three just after 7pm (opens at 6.30pm) and there was only one table left. It was buzzing and busy but the food was served pretty quickly. Drinks took a bit longer to arrive though. But the staff was nice and helpful, especially when it came to dietary requirements. The dough is fantastic. I recommended it wholeheartedly. Although I haven't tried the gluten free option.. The prices are reasonable, 14CHF to 24CHF for a pizza depending on the ingredients. They also have starters and salads.

The menu is super detailed on what’s gluten free or not, which I really, really appreciated. Loved the appetizers. But then the food quality started going downhill. The hot chocolate was warm, almost room temp. I almost sent it back. I read someone else’s review that this was the best gf pizza they’ve had. And I believe them, it was a good bread. No char though but good bread. Its just the cheeses on the 3 cheese pizza were not good. I ended up only eating the crust because the topping was inedible for me. My partner got a regular pizza and liked the crust and prosciutto, but said the tomato sauce was just tomato puree straight out of the can. And absolutely do not get the chicken tikka masala. My MIL got this and i tasted it and it was very unseasoned. And the rice was hard and undercooked. The decor inside is really nice though so you would think the same love would go into the food. But now I rather go to the McDonald’s across the street
