Hashem SJune 2, 2016Margherita was stellar,10/10. Pepperoni and Rucola weren't as good. Creme Brulee was HOLY, only if the crust had a good crack to it. Outdoor seating is sad. Seats give low back pain. Overall 8/10.
RagAugust 21, 2017Overrated, but still very cozy place with a great interior. You will receive quality food at great value, plus they have live music that reminds me of a better times❤️
SalehJanuary 8, 2016The pizza is excellent. The rocket salad, and borata is the best in Riyadh. Don't forget the creme brulee which is naturally made:)
Randa AbdulSeptember 3, 2017In love with la rustica pizza! A cozy place with an excellent service. What stands out for me is that i can choose two types of pizzas at once.
Turki SaudJuly 9, 2020The best pizza place in Saudi arabia, best margarita as well, it can be compared with top Italian pizza places in new york and LA!!!
Lena SJune 3, 2016You have to have la rustica pizza and creme burlee. The appetizers are fine but the atmosphere is amazing! Definitely coming back. Proud of you guys ❤️
MJune 27, 2017The buratta, veggie pizza, and cappuccino are great. I repeat do not miss out on the cappuccino! Best I've tasted in Riyadh.
Omar JaabariNovember 15, 2016Takes you directly to Naples, very delicious crust, creme brûlée is out of this world, the owner of the joint was baking the pizza himself (very rare to see in Riyadh). Highly recommended
Very good pizzas but small place u have to wait outside in The heat. Manager kept us waiting for more than 35min then when we sat down he made us wait again claiming that the table fit 5 person not 4
MrymJuly 20, 2017One of the original Italian pizza, Italian atmosphere , best pizza in riyadh no doubt 😋,the waiter with Italian spirit as well 😅(wesam) was very helpful and enthusiastic , price higher average !
Maha AbdullahNovember 4, 2020I just LOVE the outdoor seating when the weather is nice out. I ordered Bresaola Rolls ,Margherita & Pepperoni Pizzas both was great.
Yas AbOctober 25, 2016Order anything from the menu and I assure you that you will love it. The bruschetta is perfectly crisp and seasoned, pizza is better than Italian pizzerias, and finish with the creme brulee.
Hadeel AshareefFebruary 23, 2016Buratta goodness!! Bruschetta also super yummy and fresh!! All ingredients are fresh and authentic, must try but needs reservation. Good luck 👍
SFebruary 28, 2020Pizza is very good, especially pepperoni and truffle. The truffle pasta is excellent too. The only issue is the quantity, it wasn’t much, if you’re really hungry you may not be very satisfied.
What a lovely place to eat the best pizza ever😍 thanks a lot for the owner to made this place with all love 😍❤️
One of the best in Riyadh, go for the rucola salad as a starter, margherita pizza and creme brûlée for the dessert😍👌🏼
Bader AzFebruary 17, 2016Honestly, best Neapolitan pizza in Riyadh . Very cozy place, it makes feel like you are in Italy. The owners are amazing couple. The service is beyond compare 👌👌👌
This classic Italian is a real delight to visit. Food and service is good, we had Rucola, La Rustica pizza and Burrata cheese. Creme brûlée is a must! The place way too small though
Sarah SmithsonFebruary 29, 2016We Need More Places like this in Riyadh! Small, Cozy and Oh My God the freshness and food quality is off-the-charts!
All is tasty friendly staff fast service cozy place u can feel love espresso macchiato is ❤️❤️ cream brulee must to try what can i say the best pizza ever in rio
Badi NahasNovember 23, 2016Hands down I enjoyed the pizza even while I am out freezing from cold. The freshness of the tate is amazing. Pizza tomato sauce seems homemade.
Lama MousaJanuary 18, 2017Best pizza in riyadh hands down , loved the atmosphere, my favorite is Rucola pizza , the burrata was delicious! nutella calzone was good , wouldn't recommend their creme brulee tho !
Soraya A.DarwishAugust 27, 2017Skip everything and go straight for the Rustica pizza with buffalo mozzarella. One was perfect but 2nd one slightly burned. Owner very open to feedback. Value for money: SR 70 is too much for a pizza.
Mohamed SorourJuly 14, 2017Superb original Italian ambience and friendly staff. Pizza crust is perfect but the toppings are lack luster and very scarce. Desert was good.Terrible menu design and definitely poor value for money.
GAugust 12, 2016The best pizza in Riyadh really it's delicious but a place of the eating is small it need a lot of space for the family section
- What a lovely place to eat good food and enjoy the good music😍❤️
ShSeptember 6, 2018Good pizza but not the best ( people over rated when I read the reviews before ) .. We tried the margarita and their signature pizza 7/10. We also tried the truffle pasta 3/10. The mojito was nice.
Fahad KJanuary 11, 2017Delicious pizza by Saudi Italian family, must try the real Napoli pizza at la rustica! You will never regret.- Dalal AlsharifDecember 13, 2017Nice vibes! The pizza was great! We ordered the goat cheese salad drizzled with honey and I fall in love with that dish! It deserves to be the best pizzeria in Riyadh!
- Munira SuwailemJanuary 14, 2017Amazingly light an delicious pizzas, rocola salad is well dressed as well, a must try for all original Italian experience

Reem AlrebdiApril 11, 2016Today was my first visit to La Rustica pizzeria.. The food is very delicious, ambiance is extraordinary. We neeeed more original places like this one in our Riyadh!
NSeptember 23, 2018One of the best restaurants in Riyadh ❤️. Nice atmosphere and super friendly staff. Go for the Rucola salad, Forno Provolone cheese and Margherita pizza.
DuhaJanuary 17, 2021Loved the place, the experience, the food, the service are excellent. Any pizza can be vegan if you remove the cheese.
Lulu SaudJuly 11, 2017I ordered Pizza Margarita and Burrata Cheese both were so deliciouse 👌🏼💯 ... In my opinion they serve the best Pizzas in Riyadh 🍕😋
LamoFebruary 15, 2016Soft opening from 6:30 pm till midnight but you have to reserve by phone before going, limited tables and limits stuff, i went there and i couldn't come in because i didn't know about reservation
A.September 16, 2016This pizza reminds me of italy❤️ margarita is the best! Red grapes bottle is a must! Definitely coming back
A really cozy place with friendly staff. Exceptionally good burrata cheese! Overall good pizza, truffle pizza is worth trying
freesyayaFebruary 26, 2016Order a 3 course meal when you come here. Everything I had was excellent. Buratta, cheese pizza and creme brûlée
Bayan KhalidAugust 5, 2016The best pizza without a doubt! Everything we ordered was great. I'd give it a solid 10 but sadly the restaurant was too small and crowded.
Albatole GorbanSeptember 27, 2016Small place need reservation they have a waiting area outdoor organized well with water splash cuz its summer and hot weather
MohammedMarch 10, 2018Rucola pizza and la rustica pizza are the best, their burrata is delightful, best pizzeria in town
