I would have been quite happy with a cheap and cheerful Aldi arrangement, but Richard demanded fine dining and so we compromised on this pizzeria in the quiet Austrian town of Jerzens.
There was a friendly welcome, but this wasn’t a busy restaurant so we weren’t burdened with having to wait for service. We were visiting out of season and many venues weren’t opening at all, so we were quite pleased that they had decided to open at all.
The pizza menu was extensive and here’s part of it. I’m not sure that there was a wood fired pizza oven going, but I was surprised at how wide the menu was in general, with plenty of pasta dishes to add to the mix.
Richard looked a little stressed trying to book the accommodation for the following night that I’d just booked with ease. To cut a long story short, booking.com weren’t showing him the same room availability as I’d seen and I tried to reassure him that perhaps he wasn’t seen as a VIP and they didn’t want him. It transpired that the app didn’t show full availability, but I preferred my reason.
My diavolo pizza which was more appetising than it perhaps looks, with the base being light and the ingredients were plentiful and evenly placed. There was a checkback and the service was always attentive, although we were the only customers dining in which probably helped a little with that. Richard went for some decadent Gorgonzola option, but I like to remain loyal to mozzarella. Richard was pleased with his pizza arrangement though, so that’s all to the good. My beer was the Erdinger Weissbeir which was smooth, wheaty and went well with pizza.
And a latte to finish the meal. It was all rather lovely, the prices were reasonable, the service was polite and the surroundings were comfortable. I can imagine that this whole arrangement is positively bustling when the ski season is taking place, but this was a pleasant visit and I’d merrily recommend it.
