FAQ
How long has Piceri Tirona been open?
Since the early 2000s, which makes it long-established by the standards of this city. Most of Tirana's Italian eating, and nearly all of its restaurant scene aimed at visitors, arrived in the decade after it opened.
Why is the name spelled Tirona rather than Tirana?
Tirona is the local dialect form of the city's name. Using it is a signal about who the place is for: this is somewhere the neighbourhood eats rather than a room built to be legible to visitors.
Where are the two addresses?
One near Selvia and one on the eastern approach into the centre. Neither is in the main visitor quarter, which is consistent with an operation trading on local custom rather than passing trade.
Does Piceri Tirona do catering?
Yes, alongside the restaurant and delivery sides, all run from the same kitchens. Catering is unusual for a pizzeria of this size and points to a business built on local events rather than tourist volume.
Is it worth crossing the city for?
It is worth choosing over a central chain if you are already nearby or curious about what a long-running Albanian pizzeria looks like. If you are in Blloku for one night, the wood ovens there are the easier choice.
