La carta mette in evidenza alcune pizze identitarie, come la Margherita Verace, sempre molto apprezzara, e la bianca “Affresco di Pompei”. La Margherita si distingue per equilibrio e pulizia: pomodoro di origine italiana, mozzarella di bufala e un impasto sottile, ben lavorato, che mantiene leggerezza anche nel cornicione. Più audace la “Affresco di Pompei”, costruita su una base di crema di ricotta e pecorino, con fichi, prosciutto e una finitura agrodolce al dattero: un gioco di contrasti riuscito, capace di sorprendere senza perdere armonia. L’impasto è leggero, preciso nella lavorazione e riconoscibile, frutto di un incessante lavoro di ricerca. Da non perdere i drink In the Jardim Paulista neighborhood, among quiet and residential streets, this pizzeria stands out as one of the most convincing addresses in the city. The venue is well-kept, cozy, with a pleasant outdoor area that, thanks to the mild climate, becomes an integral part of the experience.

The menu highlights some signature pizzas, such as the Margherita Verace, always highly appreciated, and the white "Affresco di Pompei". The Margherita stands out for its balance and cleanliness: Italian tomato, buffalo mozzarella, and a thin, well-worked dough that maintains lightness even in the crust. More daring is the "Affresco di Pompei", built on a base of ricotta and pecorino cream, with figs, prosciutto, and a sweet and sour date finish: a successful contrast game, capable of surprising without losing harmony. The dough is light, precise in processing, and recognizable, the result of incessant research work. Don't miss the drinks.
