Pizzeria Del Nonno is a gem nestled on Via Carlo Combi in Trieste, offering a distinctive take on traditional pizza. Unlike typical pizzerias, their pizzas are crafted on focaccia bases, which sets them apart with an invitingly soft yet crisp texture. Signature items like the Focaccia Cipolla, Focaccia Zucchine, and the Margherita Zucchine Cipolla highlight their creative use of fresh, regional ingredients, delivering bold flavors that resonate with quality and simplicity.

The intimate takeaway spot thrives on a steady local crowd, especially during weekday lunch hours, reflecting its popularity among busy professionals and families alike. Customers consistently praise the warm, genuine hospitality, particularly from the owner Cristian, who bridges cultures through his fluent English and personal touch—often surprising patrons with generous samples that enhance the welcoming experience.

Whether you're seeking a quick, satisfying meal after exploring Trieste or a reliable pizza source for group orders, Pizzeria Del Nonno's focus on freshness and authenticity shines through every slice. Its quaint location requires a short uphill walk from the harbor, but as many reviewers attest, the rewarding combination of excellent focaccia-based pizzas and amiable service makes the ascent worthwhile.

Overall, Pizzeria Del Nonno caters to those who appreciate artisanal pizza rooted in local tradition yet presented with a contemporary twist. It's a perfect stop for anyone craving a heartfelt, flavorful take on pizza without the fuss, making it an essential experience for both locals and visitors in search of genuine Italian takeaway cuisine.

Fun experience. All of the pizza was on the basis of focaccia and upon ordering some slices it was warmed up for us. The owner speaks perfect English and we really loved the pizza. Keep in mind during normal work week lunch time it will be busy and you may need to wait in a queue.

I stopped there once for lunch and my summer camp ordered pizza from them every week. They never failed to satisfy.

Excellent pizza on great focaccia dough with a very nice proprietor. He even gave us free samples for the whole family. Well worth the steep ascent from the harbor!

Perfect quick stop. Quaint and inexpensive shopfront up the hill. Thank you, Cristian. The margarita was lovely, but your cheese focaccia was incredible. Fresh AF. Made my day.
