Background
About La Pizza è Bella
The Story
La Pizza è Bella introduces itself in Italian: 'Welcome to my pizzeria-ristorante. I was born in Italy, in Macerata; I'm a pizzaiolo, cook and pastry chef, and through my dishes I'd like to pass on the taste of my beloved land.' The Guía Repsol, which gave it a Solete in autumn 2021 in its Fast Good category, describes Mikele Corsalini as a first-rate pizzaiolo and a great host, and the menu bills the house tiramisù as 'the recipe of Michele's nonna'.
The Cuisine
Italian pizzeria and trattoria cooking. Pizzas are built on Italian tomato and fiordilatte mozzarella made from 100% Italian milk, and the kitchen also turns out fresh pasta, lasagne and antipasti, with vegetarian options and a menú del día.
The Pizzas
The list runs from a Margherita at €10.90 through prosciutto e funghi, capricciosa, quattro stagioni and quattro formaggi to house specials around €14.60: the Pizza è Bella with fresh sausage, mushrooms and Parmesan, a Genoese pesto pizza with courgette and burrata, a truffle pizza with egg, a Romana with bacon and gorgonzola, and a carbonara pizza with pecorino and pancetta. The Guía Repsol recommends the Napoli, the quattro stagioni and the Margherita.
Pasta, Antipasti and Dolci
Lasagna classica is the chef's own pick among the pastas, alongside tagliatelle, spaghetti and gnocchi with a choice of sauce, ravioli alla sorrentina and a pasta of the day. To start there are arrosticini all'abruzzese (spiced lamb skewers with honey-mustard sauce), aubergine parmigiana, provolone al forno, porchetta with garlic focaccia, beef carpaccio and a burrata salad. Desserts include the tiramisù, a chocolate coulant and Italian gelato, and there's a Negroni sbagliato to drink.
Hours
It opens every day for lunch and dinner: from 13:30 to 16:00 and 19:30 to 23:30 Monday to Thursday, straight through from 13:30 to 00:30 on Friday, from 13:00 to 00:30 on Saturday, and from 13:00 to 16:00 and 19:30 to 23:30 on Sunday. Tables can be booked online.

Tiny and neighbourly, with a terrace outside, and the Guía Repsol singles out the warmth of the welcome as much as the pizza. It works for families, dogs are welcome, and there's takeaway as well as table service.
