The 19 Best Restaurants in Cairo, Egypt | Eater

"As the first and only woman-led pizzeria in the region to be certified by the Associazione Verace Pizza Napoletana, this shop produces light pizzas boasting perfectly thin crusts with just the right amount of char on the edges, all topped with carefully selected high-quality ingredients. Favorites include the capricciosa (topped with air-dried beef salami instead of ham), the al-pesto (topped with special Genovese pesto along with sundried tomatoes, fresh basil, and Parmigiano-Reggiano), and the diavola (topped with salami, chile flakes, Parmigiano-Reggiano, and fresh basil). You’ll likely want a reservation." - Laila Hassaballa

Finally got to try it after all the good reviews i'd heard. I was surprised by how polite the staff was, how quick the food arrived. And even though there are only a few tables, they're quickly yet thoroughly cleaned after each customer. Food was delicious. Reasonable prices compared to the quality and portions. We ordered margarita, the upside down pizza, and the fungi. I think the upside down was the best. For dessert had the nutella pizza (without the whipped cream) was good but nothing special. P.S. don't miss out on the basil lemonade. refreshing, not too sweet not too sour. And i really appreciated the bamboo straw in the brown paper packaging 👏🏻👏🏻

I've just unlocked my new favorite pizza place. Pizza was heavenly good and the salad was mouthwatering. I've tried capricciosa the wild one. My friends order fungi and margarita with pesto. They were delicious. The place is so cozy and well decorated. You can book a table through their website. Prices are good and the staff were really quick whether for preparations, table service or bringing the check. I'd definitely go back again.

Very delicious pizza! We came especially for the artichoke pizza, and it definitely met our expectations. But the real star is the upside down pizza, has both pesto and Marina sauce.. yum!! The pesto is absolutely amazing! I absolutely love the basil flavor. We also tried the basil lemonade, which was a new flavor! Loved it! 🍋

Here’s your corrected review in better English while keeping your tone direct: The waiter was terrible — he didn’t say a single word and wasn’t friendly at all. I’ve never seen someone work in a restaurant like that. The pizza was good, but the service was horrible. I didn’t stay more than two minutes after eating. I recommend this place for delivery only. Do you want me to also rewrite it in a more polite but still honest way so it sounds professional for Google reviews?

Great pizza in a cosy atmosphere with very nice service personnel and a quality driven chef. Definitely a perfect choice, if you’re craving for Italian pizza.

I’m from New York City where we arguably have the best pizza in the world, when I had my margarita pizza from here it was amazing, the sauce was tasty like how margarita sauce is supposed to be, the mozzarella was quality, Amazing job making a pizza like that Cairo. The service was absolutely fantastic as well, Pizzas came in a timely manner. Thank you for such a great experience!!

Finally found a good Italian pizza in Cairo. I have only one small suggestion for the service - it’s always good to serve both guests at once. Bringing one pizza to the table and making other person wait might be frustrating, especially with the dish that tastes best when it’s fresh and hot :)
