La Piccola Ciaccineria

About

La Piccola Ciaccineria is a charming, family‑run pizzeria situated in the heart of Siena at Via San Pietro 52. The name translates to “The Little Cheese‑Boiler,” a nod to the establishment’s focus on cheese‑based dishes and the traditional Tuscan “ciaccini” – stuffed focaccia‑style breads that the owners re‑imagine with local meats and seasonal ingredients. The menu is a delightful blend of classic Italian flavours and bold regional twists. Classic margherita and capricciosa slices start at just €1.50 per piece, while larger 250 g and 500 g portions offer a richer experience at €6–€13. A selection of white pizzas and specialty ciaccini – ranging from butter‑rich burrata to savoury Iberian‑style lardo – are priced similarly, ensuring that even budget‑conscious diners can enjoy authentic Tuscan fare. Guests are welcomed in a relaxed setting that exudes local warmth. The owner invites the community to tweak the menu to fit any dietary preference, and the daily specials are posted on a chalkboard at the entrance, encouraging repeat visits for something new each time. With convenient opening hours from 10:30 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. on weekdays and Saturdays, and a slightly extended Sunday schedule (11:30 a.m. to 10:30 p.m.), La Piccola Ciaccineria is a perfect stop for lunch, a casual dinner, or a quick pick‑up for a travel‑day snack.
