pizzeria

A pizzeria is a place where you can buy and eat pizza. It's like a restaurant that specializes in pizzas.

When people talk about going to a pizzeria, they usually mean they're looking for a casual dinner spot with good food. You'll often see a sign saying "Pizzeria" outside a small Italian-style restaurant or a cozy little place that serves slices and whole pies. Some cities have big chain pizzerias where you can order in or pick up on the way home from work, but many towns still have family-owned pizzerias with their own secret recipes and homemade dough.
