In July, I moved from Lausanne to Vevey (Switzerland ), these two cities are quite close but I don’t know Vevey well yet.
When I saw Tracy’s post, I thought it would be a good idea to discover something new here and I choosed to do the challenge. It was a really great experience ! I think I’ll probably repeat the experience with other places or types of food.
Here’s a sneak peek of my review (I writed in French but I translated for you into English) :
Authenticity and quality of the pizzas are certainly the secret of this small restaurant.
The pizza dough is made on the spot by a pizzaiolo. I discovered and ate for the first time a white pizza (pizza without tomato sauce).
The staff is really friendly and very efficient. There are tables inside and outside on the terrace.
We feel that it is the local people who come to eat here, we feel well there.
I live in the district is sure that I will order some pizza from my house.
I also saw some pasta dishes and Tiramisu that look really good!
Accessible toilets also for people with reduced mobility
How I used Pizza near me and choose the place
First, I searched in my neighborhood for a place where I could eat a pizza. It impressed me to know that there were so many possibilities in such a small area.
With 4.8/5.0 and 296 total review, I choosed Pizzeria Chez Ciccio (that I didn’t know)
Less than 200 meters from my home
I really discovered this pizzeria by doing this challenge. Indeed, the restaurant is located in a shopping mall where I often go shopping but I never thought of eating a pizza here.
Really good experience to discover, gain points and help places with uploading your own news pictures & review
You can check my review and pictures added here about Chez Cicco
How I earned points ?
+41pts : with one big review, 4 main pictures, gave 5 stars to the place
+5pt : It wasn’t menu available so I added the menu at the bottom of the menu tab
+21pt : I added 2 differents pics of my pizza “Monte Bianco” as a dish.
Finnaly I added some information like accessibility for restrooms and possibility to pay by card
A nice surprise: Answer from the owner after my visit
I sometimes get answers from owners, but never so quickly. It is also thanks to this that you can become aware that you have helped a place.
Here’s the owner answer (I received in French but I translated for you into English) :
Thank you very much Mr. Subilia for taking the time to take care of our establishment, and our products… a big thank you for everything! Best regards, GS
Conclusion
Thank you @TraciC for giving this challenge. In complex times, we forget that such simple things are possible and we can help local businesses while moving forward with the local guide program.
And don’t forget the quality of the content. The goal for me is not to take and add a lot of pictures but to bring value to the person who wants information. This happens to me sometimes but it is rare, the photo of my pizza was quickly placed in 2nd position on the Google page and I am also grateful for that.
