Sestogusto

Sestogusto is a gourmet pizzeria at Via Giuseppe Mazzini 31/A in central Turin, in Italy's Piedmont region, on a street leading toward the Po River and the Valentino area. It is the pizzeria of chef Massimiliano Prete, and an aggregator ranks it number 17 in the 50 Top Pizza Italy list, a national guide to the country's best pizzerias, which sets it apart from ordinary neighbourhood pizza places. The cuisine is gourmet pizza, meaning dough and toppings are treated with the care of a chef-driven restaurant, with attention to ingredients and dough fermentation typical of the 50 Top Pizza class. Specific pizza names are not itemised in the information gathered, so visitors should consult the menu on the chef's website, massimilianoprete.it, for the current selection. Menu prices have not been verified, but the price range is the moderate tier ($$), higher than a basic pizzeria. The room has a modern, stylish character with a lively noise level and no strict dress code. Drinks are not detailed in the data gathered, though a pizzeria of this level commonly pairs its menu with craft beer and wine, and visitors should ask the staff. Opening hours are Monday and Thursday to Sunday from 12:00PM to 2:30PM and from 7:00PM to 11:00PM, Wednesday dinner only, and Tuesday closed, with closing possibly extended to 11:30PM; confirm before visiting. Reservations are taken by phone on +39 011 1889 4434, and booking is wise because a ranked pizzeria draws steady demand, especially on Friday and Saturday evenings, when a few days of notice is prudent. Weekday lunch is an easier slot. The central location makes it convenient to combine with sightseeing around Piazza Castello, Via Roma and the Egyptian Museum.
