Solono

A useful starting point when choosing a pizza is whether you want tomato sauce. For a sauce-based option, there’s the Margherita, topped with mozzarella and basil, or the Siciliana, with anchovies, olives, capers, garlic and oregano. The latter can also be ordered with mozzarella. Among the pizzas without tomato sauce are the Genovese, with smoked mozzarella and sautéed onion, and the Funghi, layered with mushroom paste, mushrooms and Parmigiano. Cheese lovers might opt for the Quattro Formaggi, made with mozzarella, Gorgonzola, ricotta and Grana Padano.

Diners’ impressions of the crust vary: some describe it as light and thin, with an easy-to-eat texture that makes it tempting to try several pizzas, while another visitor recalls a pleasantly chewy bite. One person who ordered the Bismarck for lunch specifically noted its combination of tomato sauce, mozzarella, pancetta, egg and basil, as well as the way the crust was baked. Whether you settle in for one pizza or sample a few, you can choose according to the character of the toppings and the styles you’d like to compare.

There’s more to a meal here than pizza. A possible starter is the Neapolitan-style meatballs in sauce; one diner recalls enjoying the meatballs and the marinara sauce’s subtle sweetness, and even finishing the sauce left on the plate. You could begin with an antipasto before the pizza, or finish with tea panna cotta or a Neapolitan ricotta cheesecake.

Drinks include Italian bottled beer and wine by the glass, both of which can be paired with pizza. Espresso and Americano are also available for anyone who fancies coffee after the meal. Pizzeria Solono serves lunch and dinner and is described as suitable for solo dining.
