HappinessLa Casetta · dal 1986

Torvaianica · since 1986

Wood-fired pizza, cold beer and forty years of happy evenings.

We are the pizzeria and beer house on Viale Danimarca: slow-rise dough, a wood oven lit every evening and taps that never rest. We used to be «La Casetta», today we are Happiness — but the family is still the same.

Our story

From «La Casetta» to Happiness,
a family story.

In 1986 a little house opened in Torvaianica with a wood-fired oven and a few beer taps. Over the years the children took over and gave it a new name — Happiness — without touching what matters: dough that rests at its own pace, a wood fire, and the pleasure of seating the whole neighbourhood at the table.

«Happiness is a pizza fresh out of the oven and an ice-cold beer next to it.» — that's the idea we open with every evening.

Wood-fired oven

Live fire and the scent of wood: our pizza has a puffy crust and a soft heart.

Slow-rise dough

The dough matures at its own pace: light and easy to digest, the old way.

A real beer house

Ice-cold taps and a selection of Italian craft beers, from Hacker-Pschorr to Birra dell'Eremo.

For the whole family

Step-free dining room, big tables and a menu that pleases kids, friends and grandparents.
