Bringing Italia to Accra

BRINGING ITALIA TO ACCRA

Accra, the best cocktail there is. The foremost representative of the multiple worlds Ghana has to offer. Although myopic, to some sections of the outside world, Accra is synonymous with Ghana. Little wonder that Accra is one of the most known and marketable facets of Ghana. The influx of people in the city at the back end of December is expected to be massive. Hence, with an average of two full-on days being spent in Accra with the notion of moving on to explore what the other regions have to offer, take a look at two possible routes to have a swell time in Accra.

The Venue

The Venue might be somewhat of an unknown quantity but it does pack a heavy punch with final products. The attention to detail shown with the plating of food to taste, all the way to the décor of the restaurant is highly impressive. The use of the classic brick oven to produce hearty pizzas is never a miss

Papa’s Pizza

Papa’s Pizza is pizza for everyone. Papa’s is now a chain business, with a branch in almost every buzzing area in Accra. To everyone’s delight, despite a number of branches across the city, the novelty of that thick crust savory pizza from Papa’s early days has not been lost on loyal customers. Talk about toppings, Papa’s has them all.

Tomato

Tomato is the new kid on the block. This is a proudly Italian restaurant on the ground floor of the Atlantic Tower, Airport City. As a burgeoning brand, it is impressive to see top quality delicacies matched by top quality service. Tomato take their pizza seriously and it shows by how customers are quick to label the place as ‘Napoli in Accra’. Make sure you have some wine with your pizza while you are out there and thank us later.

Mamma Mia

Mama Mia is the mother of all pizzerias in Ghana. Ghana’s flight to Italy departs from here. Mama Mia has been in business for about two decades in the same spot. Aside from being one of the earlier pizzerias in Ghana, it should get flowers for consistency given its age. The freshness from the wood-burning oven is felt with every bite and the ambiance of the space deserves a lot of credit. The Quattro Staggioni is a home run, but be prepared to order another round.

La Piazza

As an Italian restaurant, La Piazza does not disappoint with Italian cuisine. La Piazza brings Italy to you; authentic Italian pizza in a space that symbolizes Italy, just the perfect combination. Our favorite is the Calzone fritto because it does just what the name suggests – a calzone and a pizza body. Best of both worlds.
