Santino Pizza

Santino Pizza sits in central Yerevan, a straightforward Italian spot doing pies and pasta for the downtown crowd. The wood-fired oven turns out decent pizzas—thin crust, standard toppings, nothing fussy. Pasta dishes are there too, though pizza is the draw. Kentron foot traffic keeps it steady, locals and office workers at lunch, couples in evenings. Six thousand dram for two is mid-range for the center, fair for what you get. Google's 4.2 rating from 131 reviews suggests competent, reliable work rather than standout. It's the kind of place you return to when you want pizza without complications.

Things to note: No English menu likely—bring someone who reads Armenian or Italian, or point at photos.
