Review of Ristorante Pizzeria La Piazzetta di Lorenzo

Have to say I’ve found gluten-free pizza on the poor side so far on this trip to Italy… a lot of lazy pre-made bases. Thankfully, on our day in Florence, this place popped up. The GF pizza was great with a firm enough base and crispy crust piled with delicious ingredients (as ever, too much to eat). The friendly staff take things really seriously so GF dishes come out on orange plates so there is no confusion between the kitchen and customer. My family (who aren’t GF) could enjoy regular pizzas too. The wider menu is extensive and I think most dishes can be done GF (and lacto-free too!). A short walk from Firenze main station, it’s fantastic value (we paid under €70 for three pizzas, two bottles of water, a bottle of chianti, two glasses of Chardonnay and the service charge).
