What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Pizzeria La Smorfia receives high praise for its exceptional pizza, with many calling it the best they've ever had. Diners appreciate the extensive menu, fresh ingredients, and reasonable prices, especially the gluten-free options. However, some reviews mention inconsistent presentation of toppings and occasional issues with seating or service during busy periods, particularly for takeaway customers.
"Absolutely delicious. Light, thin crust pizza with over 50 selections. The kids & I absolutely loved the pizza and the service was phenomenal. Our server was working with one helper and taking care of at least 20 tables. The restaurant is small but perfect. Clean restroom."

"It was fine. The service was good. It was quick. The pizza tasted good. But they need to work on their presentation. I ordered a pie with black olives, artichokes, ham, and mushrooms and they literally put individual piles of the ingredients onto the pizza. So, I had about two slices each with individual toppings. Two slices each of black olives, artichokes, ham, and mushrooms. It’s like the person making the pizza either was deliberately trying to screw with me or he/she wasn’t thinking at all and just put their handful of toppings in separate piles neglecting to spread them across the face of the pie for an all inclusive tasting experience. Either way, what a horrible presentation and poor eating experience for the customer. I ordered take out so I didn’t see the pizza pie with the individual clumps of toppings till after I retired to my room to eat my dinner. There was no sense in going back at that point. The food was edible."

"Pizza is great! We took 2 pizzas to go and 2 small beers to drink while we wait. The waitress asked us if we would agree to standing up if needed, which we agreed to, expecting that we would only be asked to do so if there are no free tables. 2 minutes later after brining the beer the waitress is asking us to stand up to drink the beer standing on the street, while 2/3 of tables inside were free. I asked her if we could sit inside and said nevermind, stay where you are. 2 minutes later she comes back asking us to leave the table, I asked her if we could stay inside, she finally agreed, very disappointed in us.
We paid for 2 beers and 2 pizzas, just like any other customer and I see no reasons for us to stand up to drink our beers when there are free tables inside.
There are plenty of nice places in Monterosso, I would recommend avoiding this one, especially if you need takeaway."

15/06/2025: Ordered a gluten free pizza for take away, and it wasn't good. The gluten free base tasted like those ones you buy at the supermarket. However I have appreciated the effort to offer gluten free pizza (in the whole Monterosso) cooked in an aluminium plate to separate it from the wheat flour of the kitchen/oven

Via Vittorio Emanuele, 73, 19016 Monterosso al Mare SP, Italy. GF pizza was SO good, you have the choice of any of their regular pizzas (there’s like 50 to choose from). My partner enjoyed the regular crust :) and the staff were really nice!

The lively, casual atmosphere with terrace seating creates a welcoming setting for those seeking. Great gluten free crust, cooked in foil tray, therefore not contacting oven base. Given separate pizza cutter.
