Tucked behind the King and Godfree complex on the corner of Lygon and Faraday streets, Di Stasio Pizzeria has glamorous echoes of the Di Stasio Citta pleasure palace in the city.

The pizzeria has three separate spaces inside, adorned with Reko Rennie artwork and Shaun Gladwell sculptures. Visit the front Bar Sport for cocktails and enjoy the sunshine in the plant-adorned outdoor area. The courtyard bar is centred around a fountain imported from the Roman countryside.

The menu offers a variety of pizzas baked in a gleaming wood-fired and gas rotary Marana Forni oven, alongside Italian snacks, mains and pastas.
