Wonderful tiny pizza place run by the nicest Italian brothers. If you are lucky, their very sweet, very Italian mama is there too! They sell pizza by the slice so you can try lots of different kinds, my favourite is the truffle! Sometimes they have art exhibitions upstairs. You can sit in, or get your pizza to go.
