“Raffaele Pizza and Pasta” is a collective effort—a team of people who, from day one, have worked with passion, honesty, and respect for those who choose their stores among thousands of other options in the city of Thessaloniki. For this team, every order carries the commitment and responsibility of quality, and of a pizza “just like the one they would feed their own children.” This is their philosophy after all: here, quality is non-negotiable.

The story of “Raffaele Pizza” began about ten years ago in Polichni, Thessaloniki. The Evosmos store followed, then the one in Toumba, and within the last year, the newest store in Kalamaria.

In every location, the atmosphere is welcoming and bright, with an Italian aroma and a cozy, home-like feeling that makes every visitor feel instantly comfortable and at ease. After all, the spirit of the people behind the venture—who work enthusiastically, consistently, and with a shared goal—is to offer an authentic culinary experience with every bite you take.

Flavors that “marry” Italy and Greece

With a name inspired by Raffaele Esposito, the “father” of pizza and creator of the pizza margherita (made in honor of Queen Margherita, who adored it, with colors representing the Italian flag—red from tomato, white from mozzarella, green from basil), “Raffaele Pizza” is also the result of the owners’ deep love for Italy’s favorite comfort food (and perhaps the world’s).

A comfort food with a long history, loved and eaten by everyone, and with something special—it allows you to be yourself: it’s eaten with your hands, always adding to a relaxed, friendly atmosphere.

The menu pays homage to Italian tradition with flavors that travel. From the “Mortadella Pizza” to the refreshing “Panzanella Salad,” every dish showcases the freshness of the ingredients and the finesse of Italian cuisine.

At the same time, the team actively supports the Greek market by selecting quality local products in collaboration with Greek producers. Taste becomes a bridge between Italian heritage and Greek local production.

Value-for-money innovation, based on deliciousness

At a time when “eating out” can sometimes feel like a luxury, “Raffaele Pizza and Pasta” makes a difference by staying true to value for money. Great prices, generous portions, quality ingredients, and flavors that exceed expectations—that’s what you get with every order.

Having tasted their pizzas and pastas ourselves, we can confidently say that each dish fully justifies the public’s preference. They are filling, balanced, with harmonious flavors. The pizza remains light, the pasta doesn’t weigh you down, the salads are fresh and well-crafted, and the wine is an excellent and truly flavorful choice that is absolutely worth trying!

The goal of the “Raffaele Pizza and Pasta” team is continuous renewal, and from time to time the menu is enriched with new ideas and proposals that combine the familiar with the new. A prime example is the “Pizza Pasticcio”—a creative blend of the beloved Greek pastitsio recipe with thin Italian pizza. A completely original and signature creation that was immediately loved by the public, as it brings back “mom-made” memories through a modern culinary journey.

In the current menu, you will also find all the classic pizza and pasta flavors, as well as village-style pizza, fasting options, pasta Matriciana and In Forno, and a superb mushroom risotto, as well as one with artichoke cream and truffle paste called Risotto Con Carciofi, and the risotto with chicken and mushrooms that will captivate you! A new addition, the Panzanella—with cherry tomatoes, cucumber, olives, croutons, pickled onion, bocconcini, basil pesto, and balsamic cream—has arrived to pleasantly broaden your culinary horizons, while the Strawberry salad also stands out for its taste.

For dessert, the sweet calzones will leave you with the sweetest aftertaste!

The success of “Raffaele Pizza and Pasta” is not accidental—it is the result of collective effort, consistency, and a love for food and people! A brand-new space is also expected soon, especially for the residents of Polichni.
