2025 Pizzerias

Every foodie knows that truly spicy dishes can be experienced at the Il Peperoncino restaurant. The "fiery" pizza, soups with cayenne pepper, and lasagna with a delicate garlic sauce only whet the appetite, preparing guests for the main meal.

Il Peperoncino is easy to find when heading towards the Square of Miracles via one of the main streets. Its sign with a bright-red pepper is visible from afar, and as you get closer, you're greeted by the enticing smell of roast veal and mussels.

Il Peperoncino features a medieval design with mandatory arches under the ceiling and stone masonry imitating antiquity. There's an outdoor seating area for those who want not only to enjoy a delicious meal but also to breathe in the fresh air.

The salsiccia pasta was very good, but the carbonara was mediocre. Typically tourist restaurant (which is to be expected given the placement) but generally fine.

Waren über Mittag hier und haben um 11:50 direkt einen Tisch erhalten. Wer später kommt muss sicherlich Wartezeit in Kauf nehmen. Essen war sehr lecker und auch die Portionen waren von einer guten Grösse. Haben etwas mehr als 20 EUR bezahlt, freundliche umd zügige Bedienung, top Ambiente in der Altstadt von Pisa inkl Wasserdampf. Einzig die Toilette im Gang trübt das Gesamtbild, die könnte man optimieren.

Best pasta I've had outside of Rome. Looks like a tourist trap but isn't.
