LA RUSTICA PizzeriaJuly 1, 2017Italian authentic pizza from the heart of Napoli by real Saudi hands. Unforgettable experience with great taste & vibes.

The yummiest burrata in riyadh. Loved their bruschetta and the rucola pizza good amount of tomato sauce arugula and sun dried tomato 💘❤️ don't forget to end your meal with la rustica crème brulèe👌🏽Upvoted 3 weeks ago
Very cozy place and the food awfully delicious. I like the atmosphere. You will feel that like you are in Italy. The decoration of the place remind me of the restaurants in little Italy in Boston,Ma.Upvoted Dec 23, 2024
Nouf Q.March 8, 2016READ THIS TIP! their pizza is sooo effin good make sure you order your own pizza cuz u won't want 2 share, we ordered porcini mushroom pizza, go earlier in the week burrata was sold out on Saturday :(
Sulaf JFebruary 1, 2016This is by far the BEST pizza in Riyadh!First I was impressed to see the owner working by herself making sure everything is perfect! She is such a great role model for females in this country.
Taher AlmuslemaniFebruary 1, 2016finally a place that makes real pizza! It is small and cozy with a limited menu 👌🏼. small comment which is there was too much sauce on pepperoni pizza which makes it fall apart a little 9/10 👍🏼😋
AlAnoud A AlGhunaimApril 21, 2016The food is exquisite, Burrata is a must and surprisingly the Crème Brûlée! Tiny, dim lights, over all "Italian".. Meanwhile the female Saudi owner, unacceptably rude and shouldn't deal with costumers
Farah RecommendsSeptember 13, 2016La Rustica pizzeria became my favorite pizza place. There is something unique and intimate about this spot. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I recommend trying the la rustica pizza, they do halves which is a plus!!
AlharithFebruary 27, 2018We ordered the La Rustica pizza & the Roca pizza both were amazing we loved the crust, this is by far the best pizza place in Riyadh that has napoleon crust
Eman AbdulazizMarch 28, 2017If you are looking for a delicious pizza in RUH, then, this place will be your first choice.
LamaFebruary 1, 2019the outdoor seats make u feel like you’re in italy 😍 also pizza was greaaat “la rustica + margherita” tiramisu was so good
FalehOctober 27, 2020One of the best pizza places in Riyadh. Their signature pizza ( La rostica ) was yummy.
- Sulaf JFebruary 1, 2016The place is so cozy you will feel like eating at home. The pizza tastes like real Napolian pizza, since the ingredients are sent directly from Napoli, Italy. Believe me, you won't find better pizza!
Abdul Al MusJuly 4, 2016Really nice place, great pizza (9/10), good service and a really nice atmosphere.
La rustica pizza 🍕 was delicious and the truffle pizza average also pepperoni 🍕 delicious, 🍝 was average,all appetizers was delicious please don’t forget to try tiramisu ❤️
ASeptember 16, 2016The restaurant is beautifully decorated but it's small and limited tables .. Pizza is good and cream brûlée is perfect 😋
HAYA ♚February 28, 2019I always end up eating a whole pizza at this place and regretting it but it's so good , amazingly delicious ingredients ! , but their pasta was disappointing , don’t miss to get red grape juice .
- AlharithFebruary 27, 2018My only takeaway is that the chairs are not comfortable at all & the place is a bit jammed.
MisharyAugust 16, 2019Yummy! Staff was professional and helpful. Menu has few choices but overall good.
Reem -May 28, 2021The resturant is so small and crowded. There is inside and outside seats. The pizza was tasty and the spaghetti too. Try the creme brûlée it’s so tasty.
talalJuly 27, 2016Great atmosphere makes u feel like you're in Italy Best Pizza in Riyadh! Tried Roccola and Margherita both were great their Burrata cheese is Amazing loved their Espresso and Nutella Calzone
KhaledAugust 11, 2016The pizzas are amazing, really amazing to be honest, hated the dried porcini's though. A bit of creativity will take this place to a whole new level (the pizza menu is boring)
NajlaJanuary 19, 2016If you're looking for the best pizza in Riyadh then you found the right place.. Amazing pizza dough similar to Italy and the owner/ chef is Amazing Loved my experience and also buratta is super fresh.
Haneen 💍May 1, 2016The food was good, pizza is divine and fresh, menu is simple and specialized. Yet they should consider reservations, seating is limited. Grab a bite and leave not a stay in and chat
Great food and cozy atmosphere. I highly recommend; larustica pizza, truffle pasta and creme brulee for desert! One or even the best Italian place in Riyadh! Literally “The Godfather of PIZZA”
Without any doubt this is the best restaurant serving a Neapolitan pizza. La rustica pizza was stunning,Pepperoni pizza tastes wonderful and the burrata cheese is a piece of heaven.Service is perfect.
RazanJanuary 20, 2017Outdoors seatings are lovely indeed coupled with the lovely music. Rocca and Margarita Pizza are the best. Didn't like La Rustica Pizza nor the Bruschetta. Sparkling Peach is sooo good 😋👌🏼
LinaSeptember 9, 2017Burrata cheese was awesome. Don't miss it with cherry tomatoes, bread and chili infused oil✨. Amazing combination 🙏
Burrata is a must 👍 and I tried the La Rustica pizza it was fantastic .. This place has the real Italian pizza
I felt like i am in Italy the food was very delicious, piazza larostika and korola, burrata cheese. Finally the atmosphere was amazing. Gd job ❤️👍🏻
Bader JrJanuary 11, 2018The burrata is delicious, the pepperoni pizza is the best pizza there. The crème brûlée is a must. Would definitely recommend 👍🏻
- Sulaf JJanuary 3, 201715 visits to La Rustica since it has opened and still the best pizza in Riyadh! You go girl!thumbs up!
- Sulaf JJanuary 3, 2017The creme brule has improved so much, I deleted my past review, it has become so delicious! I respect owners who pay attention to customer reviews, that's why they are successful!
AbdulazizJanuary 22, 2020Pizza is extra delicious, we tried half truffle and half pepperoni and it tasted great, the ambience is cozy and nice too. Staff could have been more friendly though
A little Italy in the heart of riyo, best thing they don't throw the left overs.. God bless them 🙏🏼
Shatha TDecember 24, 2016OMG I just felt that I'm in Soho,London. The atmosphere is delightful and so cozy . The staff was as polite as possible. I recommend Margarita ,pepperoni pizza , borata salad , cream brûlé , espresso

Hind RDecember 7, 2017La Rustica pizza is the winner! I love the mushrooms! They made the pizza! The mojito tasted real I wish it had more spark 💫 sparkling water, soda, or tonic.
