Pizzeria Giovanni Santarpia

This is my third time visiting this pizzeria in the past year, and I truly believe it’s probably the best pizzeria not only in Florence but also in the surrounding area. I don’t want to go into too much detail about the pizzas—you simply have to come and try them for yourself. The menu is minimal, without a hundred different dishes—they’re focused on pizza, and that’s it. The service is excellent, and the staff is friendly. Reservations are a must.

The place is so beautiful, we were sitting on the outdoor terrace. I highly recommend making a reservation as it gets very busy. The pizza was delicious and the service great. I would eat there again and again

A beautiful experience, tasty pizza and a tiramisu to die for. If you are in Firenze don’t miss this place! 🙌 🤌🏻

Perfect pizza. Perfect atmosphere. Perfect staff. A quick and efficient restaurant. When I arrived, the inside of the restaurant was full. We ordered a Quattro Formaggi and the famous Margherita with yellow tomatoes. The pizzas arrived in just 8 minutes, and both of them were delicious. The craft beer was really special. Besides, I tried the pistachio tiramisu — it was truly delicious.

The classic montanarina…. wow. This review is dedicated to the most INCREDIBLE dish I ate during my entire trip touring Italy so far. An amazing starter that was a flavour bomb & beyond memorable! I ate 2 and honestly I wish I ordered 2 more instead of the pizza. (Nothing against the pizza it was also so good but this stole the spotlight) It was the star of the entire meal thats why I wont even be posting the pizza photos, people should come here just to try this fluffy fried dough heaven. It’s basically a savoury doughnut topped with the most perfect marinara sauce, basil pesto & salted ricotta cheese flakes. I will be dreaming of this when i’m back home truly. Highly HIGHLY recommended for anyone visiting Florence. Make sure to make a reservation ahead of time as it is a local favourite (and now I know why!)

Great service, authentic pizza they serve in their restaurant, nice ambience for family or for the any BD celebration gathering. They are very accommodative for any request. Pizza is fresh and ready to serve at your table. Food quality is great, many option for you to choose for. I would love to come back again. Highly recommend to all.

Best pizza i ever ordered. The people who work here are the nicest persons you will meet in Firenze. Not expensive and absolutely the best experience. Tip: try the rooftop bar but don’t forget to reservate a table. It’s worth it!

We stopped by here during a trip to Florence from London. A friend had insisted that we make the journey out of the city to try this pizza. I was dubious as I have celiac and have to eat gluten free. Expectations were very high, but every single one of them was exceeded. The gluten free pizza was specially developed by the head chef, which the menu explained. The texture was incredible, the perfect balance of crispy and chewy. The simple ingredients topping it were of very high quality and perfectly complemented the dough. My husband had a regular pizza with gluten which he also spoke very highly of. Even the desserts were sensational - my gluten free tiramisu made for a beautiful end to the meal. I cannot recommend this restaurant highly enough; if you are gluten free and you come to Florence, you must make the journey to visit Giovanni Santarpia.
