פיצה ברבריני – restaurant

An Italian cafe on Rogozin in Ashdod built around a taboun oven turning out Neapolitan pizza, with an inner bar pouring cocktails and a wine list that runs both red and white. It is more than a pizzeria: starters, salads, pastas, fish plates and a full breakfast-and-brunch service that starts at nine on weekends, plus local live music some evenings. Open Saturdays, wheelchair accessible, with outdoor tables that catch the late light. Diners consistently mention how fresh and original the plates feel, though a few flag Tel Aviv pricing. Worth the walk from the shore.
