Ciro
Ciro is a no-frills pizza joint: old school, generous, everything served on disposable (still! …woke sigh), and cheap. The pizza is by no means world beating but it's very good, especially for the price you pay. The guys are really friendly and it's got a lovely set of light wood high tables, that sit on the corner of the piazza and are the main eating area. A not-so-little pizza here and a not-so-little bottle of peroni red is a great way to pass an hour or two.
La Succursale
La Succursale (literally ‘the branch’) is the Lecce outpost of Barrueco in Santa Caterina. This younger sibling is not quite as picture perfect a location as the original for a pizza, but still without a doubt one on of my favourite places (possibly my favourite place) to go in Lecce.
The pizza here isn’t the cheapest in town but it’s well made with good quality ingredients. I’m struggling to write why the pizza is so good because it’s quite hard to explain succinctly without decending into pizza dough obsession.
