Cuisine at Regina La Pizzeria
Food at Regina La Pizzeria
The kitchen works mainly with dough: high-hydration, long-fermented pizza, pan-baked padellino, twice-cooked pizza and focaccia. Handmade pasta and other Italian dishes also come from the stove. Regulars keep naming the twice-cooked pizza, which one diner called a fun riff, and the classic pizzas. The Bocelli, topped with walnuts and honey, stood out for one visitor. Gluten-free pizza is available on request, and the restaurant says it can cater to most dietary requirements.

Drinks at Regina La Pizzeria
Cocktails are on the drinks side, and one visitor praised the cocktails made by Donna behind the bar. Beyond cocktails, the drinks are best checked when booking.
How the dough is made
The kitchen's focus is dough. Pizzas are high-hydration and long-fermented, which the restaurant says makes them lighter and easier to digest. The same dough carries the pan-baked padellino and the twice-cooked pizza, so the base changes with the style rather than the recipe. Visitors who came for pizza tend to talk about the base first, and the crust is the reason many return.
