welcome to the club

Meulesteedsesteenweg 183, 9000 Gent

When the place is packed with Italians, then you know it's good. That’s your green light. That’s your divine pizza signal.
Il Pettirosso isn’t just a pizza spot—it’s a full-on Muide miracle, tucked into a corner like it doesn’t know it’s low-key legendary. Just sitting there. Waiting.
The staff? Chill. Kind. They know their stuff. Ask them what they love, and they’ll point you straight to the margherita.The kitchen? Full Italian fury. Small, loud, gear packed and flour on every surface as it should.
And the name? “Pettirosso” means robin—a bird that always comes back to the same place. Which is exactly what you’ll do after that first bite. Or maybe just from spotting the chef’s deep-fried meatballs as they got dropped on your neighbours table.
It’s soft noise and sharp edges. Oven heat, burnt bits, and dough that tastes like someone gave a damn.
☞

Start with an Aperol Spritz, obviously—you’ve got taste. Then hit the wine list like you’ve got plans. It’s tight, it’s sharp, it’s got moves.
Let’s talk pizza. Pancetta and potato? First, you’re like, wait—potato? Then you taste it and go: damn right, potato.
The margherita? Let’s just say Queen Margherita of Savoy never had it this good.
