Gallo is my favorite place for pizza and beer. They have various dishes you can choose from, but their specialty is pizza. Most of them are old-fashioned types like Margherita, Italian, Capriciosa, etc. But they also have the house specialty, pizza Gallo, a fine combination of chicken, mushrooms, bell pepper, cheese and two sauces. I can especially recommend their banana flambé with ice cream -- it is very tasty and one of the best in Chisinau.
The place is also famous among football lovers because it has a huge TV screen inside and it always plays football matches. Usually, the place is not overly crowded, because there are more rooms, but if there is an important match you want to watch, I recommend you reserve a table with a good view of the screen a couple of hours before your visit.
Gallo Pub is a nice place for meeting with friends for a large, amazing pizza and a couple of beers in the evening, especially because you can stay until late at night.
