Santino’s: 24558698
Muscat City Centre

The pizzas at Santino’s are arranged behind glass, ready to be popped into the oven and served hot. Santino’s is different from anything else that Muscat has to offer: where other restaurants offer whole pizzas, Santino’s allows visitors to order individual slices, enabling you to sample different flavours. We loved the smooth toppings, which are notable in that they avoid the greasiness sometimes associated with pizza. Customers can pair pizza slices with either salad, chicken wings or potato wedges It serves pasta, too.
