Bites of JLM 🍴

After finding success in Tel Aviv, Not Your Nonna’s Pizza (Rabbanut) has opened a branch in Jerusalem’s Machane Yehuda. With unique flavor combinations, and toppings that’ll challenge any other pizza joint, each slide was absolutely delicious and well executed.

If you’re craving artisanal Italian gelato in Jerusalem, the gem that is Pinoli (Mehadrin) on Ben Yehuda Street is a must‑try. The gelato here is made fresh daily in the traditional Italian style, with rich, creamy textures and beautifully balanced flavors that you don’t always get at the bigger chains.
