AI summary of what 4 dish mentions say about the food
Reviewers at Tonda rave about the Spilinga, calling it a standout. The overall vibe is one of rustic, heartfelt Italian cooking that feels both refined and welcoming.
“The Spilinga has potatoes again, olives with the pit again, and 'nduja. It's a bit heavier compared to the previous one — that one was perfect. In this case, the flavor that I like puts it second among all of them. We messed up the cooking a bit on this one, as I said, the evening is what it is.”

Dishes mentioned
Pizza Margherita
The Margherita here is much closer to a Roman pizza than a Neapolitan one. The mozzarella is all spread out because it was already cut, and it's a bit overcooked. There's a lot of mozzarella, but the dough feels a little heavy, almost like it hasn't risen enough. It's edible, but I know Pizzeria Tonda doesn't focus on the Margherita — they focus on their specialty combinations.
Tropeana
The Tropeana has a strong smell of onion and lemon zest — the lemon is very intense. I was scared about the olives with the pit, but they manage it. The dough is still a bit off for me, but the ingredients on top are very, very, very good. The lemon isn't too much, it's just right. I'd give it a 7.
Arrabbiata
This one is more soft and crunchy — it was cooked on this side much less, the cooking is more to my liking. It's nicely spicy, the 'arrabbiata' doesn't make me angry. How fucking good is this? Of all three pizzas in this video, this one has won — it's a 10, a 9. It makes you want to eat 10 of these. The dough is a bit more cooked than the others, a bit firmer, but the topping is too good.
Spilinga
The Spilinga has potatoes again, olives with the pit again, and 'nduja. It's a bit heavier compared to the previous one — that one was perfect. In this case, the flavor that I like puts it second among all of them. We messed up the cooking a bit on this one, as I said, the evening is what it is.
