brooke – that’s quite the endorsement for rustica. i think the place is great when its on top of its game but, as with a few other ‘good’ places in kuwait, consistency can sometimes suffer and the customer feels that they’re taking a gamble on any particular day.

the last few times, however, its been good although i have not been there in at least a month or two. definitely on the list.

i also suspect that, based on my experience, there are phenomenal pizza places all over the world but you just have to find them as many don’t advertise and few people know what a good, authentic pizza should taste like.

After having lived in Naples for several years, I would say that Pizza Rustica is not only the best pizza in Kuwait, but is also the best pizza I’ve eaten outside of Italy.

im actually looking forward to going and eating at pizza rustica just cause one of my dads friends who is italian actually tried almost every pizza in kuwait and decided pizza rustica is the best yet. so i think ill follow an italian’s points of view as he did live in italy and he knows wut a pizza should taste like =)

ok had lunch there today and i have to say that the pizza is quite good but far from the best. the menu is limited, though, since it is mainly a pizzeria and not much else. also restaurants in kuwait are becoming just way to expensive. we’re going to be ahead of hong kong in no time!

yes yes yes! i agree that the alforno at marriott courtyard (open for many years so has first dibs to the name) has the best caprese pizza and possibly the best pizza overall in kuwait. la piazza has declined in quality but still good (try margherita with onions). thanks for the heads up guys. i’ve decided not to go to rustica with its scam name and bad service. shame on them.

The cheese is so rubbery I could have patched my flat tires. I suppose Alshaya thinks Kuwaitis are so dumb they will eat anything, rubber included. Have they ever heard of Fiore Di Latte Mozzarella ? How about San Marzano tomatoes ? Or even high gluten flour? A proper wood burning (not combo) ovens ? Whoever think’s its the same as Harrod’s either has alzheimers or busted taste buds.

I agree that Alforno’s pizza is MUCH better!
I am a great fan of Alforno. Their service and food is really good.
Their pizza is THE best Italian pizza in Kuwait… and I enjoy the rest of their dishes as well.

I agree with u, the pizza is not that much!!! the cheese is not fresh at all and the pizza is so oily and heavy! like ur eating a whole pizza in one slice !but the salads seems better
