L'Università della Pizza | Pizza a metro da Gigino

If you are staying just outside of the Amalfi coast this place is a must! They offer pizza up to 1M long. Their prices are very reasonable and their food is excellent! My dad and I went twice for dinner during our stay in Vico Equense. Our first night my dad had the puttanesca and I had the gnocchi. The second night we had the pizza. I had the Prosecco both nights and it was truly divine, as was the price. A glass of wine is €3.50. Our waiter both nights was Raffael. He spoke great English and was very friendly. Can’t recommend this place enough. So glad we experienced it. Such a gem!

I love pizza. So pizza by the metre was definitely on the to do list. This place when you walk in looks like the biggest school canteen in the world. It's huge. It has a very industrial vibe and the decor looks like it may have not changed since the 70s. However. What you'll also notice is it is packed with locals. Always an auspicious start. The waiters spoke English and suggested we go watch the chefs make the pizza. The kitchens are open so you can watch the chefs at work which I really liked. As a proficient pizza chef myself this was a highlight as the boxed dough was clearly well rested and pliant in all the right ways. I enjoyed watching them roll out the dough onto a board and craft those long pizzas. The pizza itself was excellent. And good value for money - as it will feed 5 (although we managed one between four.). Wine is super reasonably priced and was also great with a bottle of Prosecco at 18 euros doing well. I wouldn't bother with anything in the menu other than pizza. It's what their speciality is. It's like walking into a fish and chip shop to order a baked potato if you don't. But I also saw that the chefs in the other section were hard at work and the steak they served up for another table seemed decent enough.

Service - this restaurant has been open since the 30s I think it says somewhere and some of the staff seem to have also been there a while. Don't expect the fawning and cloying super friendly waiters that some people seem to love on here "we were served by giulio who told us about his childhood on an penumbra of goat farming land and his great love of 18thC theatre. He advised us on the perfect 20€ bottle of wine marked up to €120 to go with our Lasagne ". You may need to be quite Italian in manners to get the bill, but when in Rome… Speaking of Tripadvisor- if I’d have gone on the reviews from there this would have gone unvisited. This is one case where Tripadvisor’s super touristy angle comes undone. I don’t care if it isn’t a bijou exclusive 4 seater restaurant where the owner comes and personally chats to you. If the food is good I’m happy. It's not touristy and I enjoyed that a lot. Don't miss it.

We arrived at 6 pm to a mostly empty restaurant, yet it took the waiter 20 minutes to finally come to our table. When he did, he was far from welcoming or friendly. A few minutes later, I noticed another waiter spraying something around my drink at the bar. Concerned, I approached the bar after receiving my beer and found a bottle with clear warning labels. I took a photo, voiced my concerns to the staff, but was met with indifference. Throughout the experience, the waitstaff remained unfriendly and unprofessional. I decided to leave without touching my drink. Extremely disappointing service—avoid this place!

Best pizza in town worth going my favorite one is with zucchini and cheese 🤤🤤 worth going they are so fast in their service 😍❤️

Large restaurant with a large menu. Service was fast and accommodating for non Italian speakers. The pizza was excellent and it was fun to be able to try different flavors in the same pizza.

Great pizza and service! Recommend the cheese, Funghi, salami and peppers! More than enough for 6 of us. Will return again. Update: also ordered the gluten free pizza on a different night. Totally safe, as it’s fired and delivered in its own tray. Delicious also.

Wonderfully authentic Italian cuisine. Octopus salad and homemade pasta dishes were fabulous. Many tables around us had huge pizzas carved up and served on side tables by the waiters. Excellent service and very reasonable pricing.

We absolutely love this place so we went back the next day. There is a carpark underneath. You can see the whole kitchen behind the glasses. The steak bar was nice with lots of choices of aged beef. Pizza was great. We ordered 70cm of pizza and it was more than enough for three hungry adults. Very reasonably priced. The waiter was super helpful and passionate. Very quick service. The best of all didn't feel like all those tourists traps.. more like big local restaurants.
