Fodor's Review:

This typical forno a legna (wood-burning oven) pizzeria, on a narrow side street off Via Umberto, is one of the most respected in the city for its outstanding "apizza," as the locals call it. Enjoy it as Catanians do: only at night, and with a beer or soda—never wine. The pizzas are named after saints, for example Santa Lucia, with cream, Parmesan slivers, and Parma ham. The antipasti spreads are delicious, as are the meat and seafood dishes. The setting is simple, with brick arches and a few agricultural tools displayed on the exposed stone walls. Expect a long wait on weekend evenings.
