I wish I could remember exactly where this place was, as it was such a pleasure! My waiter was a local student, and he was totally cool and relaxed and knew the regular customers by name. I ordered a pizza, and he let me customize what was on top and brought me a beer and my fizzy water with due speed. (I could have ordered pasta, meat, salad -- even though it calls itself a pizzeria it in fact had a complete menu.) The pizza itself was a bit heavier than I am used to getting in Italy, but it still was great. All told, my lunch (with very favorable exchange rate) was about $8.50. I got there just before the lunch rush hit, and boy were they slammed. The place was full of local businessmen and working women, always a good sign. And they were jovial, said hello to each other, chatted up the waiters (which is probably why I waited so long for my check, no problem!) and in general seemed to be having a great lunch break in the city center. If you cannot find this particular place, there are many such restaurants in Bologna, just move yourself off the main avenues and follow the crowd!
