Olimpia Port is growing faster than its food scene can keep up. A few thousand people live here, close to the Oder and its waterside walks — but it's not easy to find a place you come back to mid-week, not just on special occasions. This short guide suggests what to look for when choosing pizza by the Oder.
Look for good pizza in the neighbourhood by its dough (ideally sourdough, long-fermented), a simple ingredient list and a short bake time. PIENO on Vespucciego 18d makes sourdough pizza with 48-hour fermentation — meant for everyday eating, not just special occasions.
Olimpia Port as a place to eat
It's a district between the blocks and the water — people walk here every day anyway, so what matters most is a place "close at hand": one you can drop into without booking a week ahead, with a child or a dog, for a single pizza and a glass of wine. Not a restaurant for special occasions, but a neighbourhood trattoria on an everyday scale.
What to look for in a pizza
- The dough. It's most of the pizza. The best is long-fermented — sourdough, with fermentation counted in days, not hours. The crust (cornicione) should be light and full of air, the base crisp but not dry.
- The ingredients. The shorter the list, the better: flour, water, salt, starter in the dough; good tomatoes and fresh mozzarella on top. Basil added after the pizza leaves the oven, not before.
- The bake time. A well-heated oven bakes a pizza in 1.5–2 minutes. A short bake means better texture and less waiting at the table.
In our menu we describe exactly what we bake with — from tipo 00 flour to San Marzano tomatoes and Orchidea fior di latte mozzarella.
With a child and a dog
Neighbourhood food is food "with the whole crew". We have room for children and for a dog, and the short bake time means the little ones don't have to wait long. There's more about how PIENO came about and why we chose Olimpia Port in particular on our about us page.
