In the city centre of Grenoble, there is a small square occupied mostly by the terrace of a bar. Besides that bar, there is a small pizzeria where they make the best pizzas in the city centre. However, this pizzeria does not have room to eat inside, so either you order your pizza for takeaway or you place a small magnet with a number in the magnetic board at the entrance to mark the table on the terrace where you are. That guy has a good sense of business. Another good point is that that establishement offers pizzas topped with regional products like ravioles, the mini ravioli.
Pizza and pasta? Yes… The ravioles of Romans go very well on a pizza because they are very small, but they have an intense taste. An original pizza, isn’t it?. This pizza is not asomthing weird propose by one single site, you can also find it in other pizzerias. However, I normally order it in that pizzeria next to the bar to eat it in the middle of the square, on the terrace, with a good beer very cold.
