FAQ
What is on the La Crema pizza?
Mozzarella, spicy salami, ham, mushrooms and a soft white cheese, built without a tomato base. It is the house speciality and the one thing on the list that is not simply a standard Neapolitan variation.
Why does a pizzeria serve crepes?
In Tirana the pairing is unremarkable: sweet crepes are a normal counterpart to pizza rather than an odd addition. It is one of the small ways the city's Italian inheritance has been adapted rather than copied.
Is Pizza Tomato central?
No, it works a residential quarter east of the middle of the city. It is a neighbourhood place rather than somewhere you would pass on a walk between the main sights, which is generally reflected in the prices.
Does Pizza Tomato deliver?
Yes, and delivery takes a substantial share of the trade given the location. For a visitor staying in an apartment east of the centre that is more practical than travelling in to eat.
Is it worth going out of the centre for?
Only if you are staying nearby or want the neighbourhood rather than the tourist version of it. The centre and Blloku have plenty of pizza; this is the version Albanians eat on their own street.
