The story
Tucked into the hills of Genova, Pizzeria da Raffa is a rustic, family-friendly spot that locals quietly guard. Restory Food calls it “la miglior pizzeria di Genova,” and a chorus of regulars agrees. The wood-fired oven turns out pies with a blistered, chewy crust—the heart of the operation.
Among the standouts, the Trentina earns a thumbs-up for its classic harmony, while the creative Piggy brings a bolder twist. Restory Food also highlights the rotating Pizza del Mese, keeping things fresh. Notably, gluten-free options broaden Raffa’s appeal without sacrificing its Neapolitan-inspired craft.

Reviewers rave about the "Piggy" pizza, praising its bold, savory toppings. The overall vibe is warm and unpretentious, delivering consistently satisfying, rustic Italian fare.
“This pizza has smoked buffalo mozzarella, spring onions, and porchetta. The smokiness of the buffalo comes through immediately — delicious. And the spring onion also goes incredibly well. It's a particular choice, but spring onion on pizza is amazing. The dough is thin, crispy, cooked in a wood-fired oven. On request, they also make it gluten-free, so celiacs should try it.”

Dishes mentioned
Trentina
This pizza has mozzarella, speck, mushrooms, and a big tomino cheese in the center. I burst it open immediately — it's not very stringy, but the aroma is there. The tomino is delicious, the speck and mushrooms go together amazingly, and the dough is crispy. Overall, it's really good. Top pizza.
Pizza del Mese
This one has a lot of ingredients: coppa, sun-dried tomatoes, gorgonzola, and eggplant. It's less balanced than the other pizza — despite all the ingredients, I taste the gorgonzola first and then the coppa. Between the two, I preferred the other one.
Piggy
This pizza has smoked buffalo mozzarella, spring onions, and porchetta. The smokiness of the buffalo comes through immediately — delicious. And the spring onion also goes incredibly well. It's a particular choice, but spring onion on pizza is amazing. The dough is thin, crispy, cooked in a wood-fired oven. On request, they also make it gluten-free, so celiacs should try it.
