Pizzeria Lo Smeraldo
About
Pizzeria Lo Smeraldo, located on Corso Francia 30 in Collegno just a short walk from Turin, has been serving generous slices for more than three decades. The restaurant is renowned for its hand‑tossed dough that rises slowly, giving each pizza a light, airy base that holds a plethora of high‑quality toppings – from classic margherita to indulgent XXL pies that take center stage. Patrons can enjoy the meal indoors in a relaxed, family‑friendly atmosphere or step onto the welcoming outdoor air‑conditioned Dehors, where pets are also welcome. Service is friendly and attentive, and the wood‑fired oven gives each pie a smoky, perfectly crisp crust. Prices are modest, making it an excellent choice for diners on a budget who still crave authentic Italian flavour. The establishment also offers a convenient WhatsApp booking option for reservations and a quick pre‑order for take‑out.
