When you ask where to eat a good pizza in Ningbo, especially in the Southern part of the city, La Pizzeria Echo comes up often as a recommendation. There are two young Chinese gentlemen at the helm of the store. One of them studied engineering in Italy, another one understudied an Italian chef for a few years, before joining forces to open this pizza parlor.
The visit(s)
The pizzeria recently re-located to Taikang Middle Road, opposite to the Academician Park.
The pizza is indeed quite good. It is thin pizza with crispy borders. One issue is that they tend to burn, like in the example below of their namesake Echo pizza:
They also have other dishes, like Italian sandwiches (panini):
For an extra fee, each pizza can be made in a “calzone” (a type of rolled pizza):
Finally a “fried appetizers” basket:
The check(s)
The Echo pizza (with a rich toppings) was 92 RMB or 13.66 USD. The calzone was 10 RMB more. Simpler pizzas are a bit cheaper. Most sandwiches are less than 9 USD.
Overall it is a honest offering and when not burnt the pizza is good.
