Pizza Da Felice

Lucca


This buzzing spot behind Piazza San Michele is where the locals come for wood-fired pizza, cecina (salted chickpea pizza) and castagnacci (chestnut cakes). Eat in or take away, castagnaccio comes wrapped in crisp white paper, and my, it's good married with a chilled bottle of Moretti beer.
