Archestrato di Gela is Palermo’s fast-rising pizza star, thanks to an impressive three-slice rating (the highest) last year by Italy’s prestigious Gambero Rosso food guide.

On a leafy side street off Via della Libertà, the city’s main luxury shopping boulevard, the cozy and contemporary pizzeria stands out for its candle-lit front porch and menu with dozens of combinations.

Carnivores can happily sink their incisors into the Piano Notaro (€15), which has salty Sicilian pork sausage, slivers of red onion stewed in wine and caciocavallo cheese (denser and chewier than molten mozzarella).

Vegetarians might prefer the Piano Mendola (€12), a concoction of tomato sauce, tiny tomatoes and a sprinkling of caciocavallo. Italian craft beers fill the drinks list.
