If you find yourself in Nairobi, specifically at Business Bay Square (BBS) Mall on General Waruinge Street, then you absolutely must stop by Gogol Pizza. I visited this charming Italian eatery recently, and I must say, the experience was nothing short of delightful.
As soon as I stepped inside Gogol Pizza, I was greeted with a warm welcome from the staff, adding an inviting touch to the ambiance. The place exudes a quaint charm, with rustic decor and a lively atmosphere that's perfect for a casual meal or a family outing. I visited around 7 PM, and the place was buzzing with energy, yet it was never too noisy to enjoy my meal.
I decided to indulge in their signature Margherita Pizza, which reviewers have praised for its fresh ingredients and authentic Italian flavor. Priced at just KES 800, it was quite affordable given the quality. The crust was perfectly thin and crisp, topped with a generous amount of fresh basil, rich tomato sauce, and gooey mozzarella cheese that created an explosion of flavors with each bite.
Another item that caught my attention was the Pasta Primavera. This vegetarian delight, priced at KES 1,200, was another hit among diners, and I can certainly see why. The pasta was al dente, perfectly cooked, and the medley of seasonal vegetables added both color and taste to the dish. The hint of garlic and olive oil tied everything together beautifully.
My visit wouldn’t have been complete without mentioning the outstanding service, particularly from our waiter, John. He was incredibly attentive, ensuring our glasses were never empty and checking in regularly to make sure everything was to our liking. It really made a difference in our overall experience.
As I savored my last bite of pizza, I couldn't help but admire the various other pizzas and pastas coming out from the kitchen, each looking just as tempting as mine. Many diners were opting for the Inferno Pizza, known for its spicy kick, and I overheard one table rave about how it was a must-try for spice lovers.
The atmosphere, coupled with a lovely selection of Italian delights, makes Gogol Pizza a great spot whether you’re dining solo, with friends, or with family. With such reasonable prices and remarkable quality, I’ll certainly be making frequent visits in the future. If you're in Nairobi and craving authentic Italian cuisine, Gogol Pizza is the place to be. The combination of delicious food, budget-friendly prices, and friendly service makes it a perfect culinary stop.
So, next time you're in Business Bay Square, don’t hesitate to treat yourself to a meal at Gogol Pizza. Your taste buds will thank you!
