Il Rusticone
A small pizzeria near Piazza Vittorio Veneto, known for its light dough and affordable prices, also serving Apulian-style puccia.
Located at Via San Biagio 5, close to the main square, Piazza Vittorio Veneto, and just a short walk from the Sassi district. The pizzeria specializes in pizzas made with a light, easily digestible dough; the official website lists the Margherita at €7 and signature pizzas at around €13. Diners also frequently mention the puccia (stuffed flatbread), panzerotti, and meat and cheese platters. The average price is around €10-20, with a 4.8 rating on Tripadvisor. The space is very small and does a lot of takeaway business; some 2026 reviews noted long wait times, so arriving early is recommended. The official website lists evening hours, so confirm lunch availability in advance.
