La Succursale

Lecce


Lecce is an important university town and this boisterous pizzeria combining gourmet pizzas with decent wine and craft beer is hugely popular with local students. Grab a table outside in warmer weather and feast on wood-fired goodness harnessing ingredients like spicy sausage, almonds and blue cheese. Other snacking highlights include polpette meatballs.
