“ll vecchio Pozzo” means “To the old well”. The well once supplied the Sankt-Vith fortress and was dug into the rock to a depth of 35 metres, which is roughly the distance from the pizzeria to the parish church.

Without jackhammers or drills, using only their bare hands. A tremendous achievement by the builders of that era. To preserve this unique monument from our early history, the city council decided to raise the masonry to a height of 1 metre above street level, so that our visitors and ourselves can get a proper sense of this historic city fountain.

So what could have been more natural than to name the pizzeria after it?
