His style leans towards the Roman tradition, with a subtle crust and a deliberately crispy texture, though not extreme . While the classic pizzas are excellent, the real magic lies in his creative offerings, where Seu's distinctive style truly shines through the toppings. A recent addition is the Experience option - a 7-course tasting menu plus dessert for €60. Speaking of dessert, don't forget to save room for his sweet pizzas, another category where Seu has sparked a trending revolution.
