A taste of Napoli in Glasgow
Mrs Foodie is still moaning about her sore leg (pulled her calf muscle) so Mr Foodie got the chance to have a night out on his own at the opening of Paesano Pizza on Miller Street where CF Nash used to be years ago.
Paesano pizza – pizza chefs at work
The Gianni Acunto of Napoli ovens cost £20,000, so these better be good pizzas!
Inside the décor was hip and modern but didn’t tick too many hipster boxes! Benches enable everyone to get cosy together and create a relaxed beer-hall style atmosphere.
Paesano pizza – inside
It’s also surprisingly big (well Nash’s was a big cavernous space from what we can remember) stretching back and to the left – it’s much much bigger than Piece next door for example.
Paesano pizza – Messina lager
Mr Foodie settled down to an Italian lager, Messina, that he’d never had before (a fairly typical pils).
Paesano pizza – the menu
And perused the menu opting for the spicy salami pizza (click pic for menu).

and here it was – a very thin soft base with puffy doughy edges, it wasn’t crispy at all (if you prefer that style) with lots of tomato sugo and meat on top.
Paesano pizza – ice cream
And he had room for some soft old-school vanilla ice-cream.
They open officially at lunch time today (06/08/15) and we shall return again soon for a proper review once they’ve settled in, until then read more on their website: paesanopizza.co.uk
