The story
In the well-heeled Corso Casale neighborhood of Torino, Cheat Mabon has quietly become a local favorite, earning a 4.4-star rating and a spot on Franchino Er Criminale’s list of top three pizza al tegamino in the city. As he notes, it’s a “great neighborhood spot in a wealthy area with affordable prices,” offering an approachable alternative to pricier trattorias. The kitchen focuses on pizza al padellino—a thick, pan-baked style—and Franchino praises the “careful topping distribution” that ensures every bite is balanced.
The standout from his visit was the Pizza con Salsiccia e Broccoli, which earned an emphatic thumbs-up. He also sampled the Pizza al Padellino con Salsiccia e Fagioli, calling it the best dough of the day, though he felt the bean choice could be improved. With no frills and a casual vibe, Cheat Mabon is precisely the kind of unpretentious, quality-driven pizzeria that rewards those who venture outside the tourist core, serving excellent pies without the markup.

AI summary of what 2 dish mentions say about the food
Reviewers praise Cheat Mabon’s Pizza con salsiccia e broccoli as the standout dish, with a warm, rustic vibe that feels like a cozy neighborhood find.
“This pizza has a perfect bake, with a beautiful crust and just the right amount of oil. The composition is excellent — every bite has a piece of broccoli and a piece of sausage. The cheese is abundant, the dough is great. The only small flaw is that the broccoli is a bit bland on its own, so when you get a bite with just broccoli it feels a bit flat. But overall it's excellent. I paid €8.”

The best dough of the day, in a nice area, but the bean choice could be improved.

Pizza al Padellino con Salsiccia e Fagioli
This pizza is lower than the others, well cooked. The dough is the best of the day — it has a crispy layer underneath from the oil, crunchy under the teeth, and then soft inside. The sausage and beans are well seasoned with oregano, salt, and pepper. But I would have preferred a different type of bean, not cannellini, maybe a browner, pastier bean. And a bit more sausage. I'd give it a 9 minus for the bean choice.
