Con Gusto Neapolitan delights in Wiedikon

The popular Pizzeria Con Gusto, with its founding location on Schaffhauser Platz, has been at Schmiede Wiedikon since the summer and invites you to enjoy southern Italian specialities. The pizzas here are homemade, made from dough that has been rested for at least 24 hours and by a pizzaiolo from Naples, who expertly shapes the pizza dough into the right shape and bakes it to perfection at 480 degrees in the oven.

The dedicated team here serves typical antipasti plates with Fritto Misto or - a particularly lovely idea for a starter - 'Montanare Con Gusto', three small deep-fried pizzas from the chef's imagination. Pure Italianatá is promised by the delicious Primi Piatti, such as the Neapolitan pasta with aubergines and cherry tomatoes, salsiccia and the Italian cheese Caciocavallo, as well as the gnocchetti with shrimps, courgette cream and grated bottarga.

One would love to try the range of pizzas from the front to the end of the menu, for example, creations like the pizza with truffle cream, fiordilatte and porcini mushrooms, drizzled together with olive oil and garnished with basil. Or the Gambero pizza, topped with a courgette cream, tartare shrimps, dried fish roe and Fiordlatte.

In any case, it is challenging to choose when looking at the possible ingredients for the delicious, wafer-thin pizza bases with thick, crispy edges. The vegan versions are particularly striking for their variety. The Neapolitan joie de vivre is palpable in every single dish here at Con Gusto.
