I would disagree. The Piazza dei miracoli (where the tower is) is genuinely amazing[1]. The duomo is really beautiful. You can see the actual incense lamp that inspired Galileo to formulate the theory about the motion of pendulums. The church of san stefano[2] is pretty cool. There are some great restaurants (one of the best restaurants I've ever been to in Italy is in Pisa). etc etc

It was a very long time ago I traveled there so my memory is struggling, but looking at tripadvisor photos the real standout was (I think) La Cantina di Tipi. Either that or it's not there any more.

Thank you! My family is travelling soon, so if they make it there, I'll update with their review of it :)
