Mangia Pizza Firenze

The pizzas are incredible. Super thin crust, with very generous toppings. They are baked in a brick oven with the freshest ingredients. They have different pizza options than usual. Pear & gorgonzola pizza. White pizza with mozzarella, artichokes and brie. If you love heat, order the spicy salami. Also try the dessert pizza. The one with nutella, mascarpone cheese and strawberries is amazing. You can choose your drinks from the fridge, or grab a glass of wine if you wish. You order and then sit down. When your pizza is done, they will bring it to you. It is a pretty small place. Not a lot of seating, (7 or 8 tables) but you can also get it to go.
