Pizzeria Nova Sedmica
BackIn Domžale, at Ljubljanska cesta 106a, there is a restaurant that has quickly become an important point on the local culinary map. Pizzeria Nova Sedmica is not just the successor to the former place, but a completely renovated story written by new owners with a clear vision. Upon entering, it is immediately obvious that the space has undergone a radical renovation, which, according to guests, has improved the ambiance by more than 500%. The old has been replaced by a modern, yet warm and intimate interior, dominated by natural materials, minimalist details and discreet lighting, which creates an extremely pleasant atmosphere for lunch or dinner .
Emphasis on Roman pizza and quality ingredients
The centerpiece of the menu is the Romana pizza , which is distinguished from the increasingly popular Neapolitan version by its thin, crispy dough and low, baked edge. This style of pizza , which is standard in Rome and much of Italy, is only just gaining recognition in Slovenia. At Nova Sedmica, the dough is prepared according to an original recipe that includes a long cold fermentation, which contributes to its lightness and digestibility. Guests highly praise the quality of the ingredients, which are thoughtfully selected and reach all the way to the edge of the pizza, ensuring full flavor in every bite. The house pizza and pizza with bresaola are often among the recommendations, as well as the "Buffalo" pizza, which shows the diversity and creativity of the menu. Despite specializing in the Roman style, even fans of other types of pizza, as can be seen from the reviews, praise the exceptional taste and preparation.
More than just a pizzeria
Although the name suggests a pizzeria, Nova Sedmica offers much more. The menu also includes other a la carte dishes that reflect a broader culinary focus. The fried squid stands out in particular, which guests describe as heavenly light, crispy and tender. Their specialty lies in the preparation, as they are only quickly breaded and not dipped in egg batter, which makes them easier on the stomach and suitable for those with special dietary requirements. The friendliness of the staff is also reflected in their flexibility, as they are willing to swap out side dishes for guests, such as fried potatoes for grilled vegetables. The offer is complemented by fresh salads and a carefully selected range of drinks, including bottled wines and spirits, which are aesthetically displayed at the bar.
Ambience, service and family-friendly attitude
The entire dining experience at Nova Sedmica is carefully thought out. The staff is regularly praised for their friendliness, helpfulness, and professionalism. Their attitude towards the youngest guests is particularly emphasized, which puts the restaurant high on the list of family-friendly locations. This is significantly helped by the separate and closed children's playroom, which allows parents to enjoy their meal in peace while the children play safely. This detail is a decisive factor for many families when choosing a restaurant. The cleanliness and tidiness of the premises, including the toilets, are also at the highest level, which guests often highlight as a sign of overall quality and hygiene.
Tradition with a modern touch
The new owners have preserved one of the most recognizable traditions of the old Sedmica – every guest receives a Lotto ticket when ordering a pizza. This nice gesture, now adapted to the game Šestica, adds a unique touch and creates a fun experience that guests will remember and return for. According to visitors, the prices are reasonable and comparable to other quality establishments in the region, which, combined with the high quality of the food and service, represents an excellent value for money.
What is good to know before visiting?
Despite its many positive features, there are some practical things to keep in mind. The biggest challenge for first-time visitors may be the location. The restaurant is located in the basement and is not directly visible from the street, so you have to be a little more careful when finding it. However, once you step down the stairs, you are pleasantly surprised by the warm and inviting ambiance.
As it is a smaller, boutique pizzeria, it is recommended to reserve a table during busy times, especially for larger groups. For those who prefer to enjoy their food at home, food delivery is also available via the Wolt platform. It is also important to know that their trademark is crispy and thin Roman pizza; lovers of thicker and fluffier Neapolitan dough will have a different, but according to many, just as great, experience here.
Pizzeria Nova Sedmica has successfully combined tradition with modern culinary trends. With an emphasis on authentic Roman pizza, high-quality ingredients, an expanded range of delicious dishes and an exceptionally pleasant atmosphere, it has become more than just a pizzeria . It is a place for socializing, family lunches and pleasant dinners. Despite its somewhat hidden location, its excellent service and comprehensive experience have rightfully earned it high marks and loyalty from guests who appreciate good cuisine in the heart of Domžale.
