At Luigia's, the menu draws heavily on typical recipes and traditional dishes, including pizza. The latter is truly well done, with particular attention to the selection of ingredients. The dough is soft and well leavened, an excellent base for tasty and fragrant pies. The classics alone are worth a stop here, but for the more demanding there are the special pizzas among which we recommend the Mulignana with aubergine cream, tomato sauce, fried aubergines, mozzarella di bufala, Grana Padano wafers and fresh basil. A curated and wide selection of Italian labels completes the offer.

Tre Spicchi (3/3) — Gambero Rosso Top Italian Restaurants 2023. Wine and pizza, these are the two protagonists of Francesco Calò's restaurant. As for the pies, the name suggests the typology: of clear Neapolitan style with a high and honeycombed crust, they have conquered the palate and the heart of Vienna in a short time. Alongside the timeless classics such as Margherita or Capricciosa, the "Master creations" are morsels with bold, yet balanced and surprising combinations. The pizza profumata is an example: mozzarella di bufala, lemon ricotta, yellow cherry tomatoes and a lemon vinaigrette give freshness and flavour to each bite. We point out an impeccable wine list with many carefully selected labels.

Tre Spicchi (3/3) — Gambero Rosso Top Italian Restaurants 2025. Opened in 2013, this pizzeria has conquered the Perdizes district by delighting the palate of its customers. Success is due to a careful choice of ingredients and respect for the Neapolitan tradition. The flours are imported as well as many of the ingredients used, such as the tomato and mozzarella which come directly from Campania. The pies are rigorously baked in a wood-burning oven as tradition dictates. Margherita, Capricciosa, Sausage and Broccoli rabe stand out on the menu, but we also recommend the Puglia with cherry tomatoes, black olives, Parmigiano, burrata and Puglia taralli. To conclude with a sweet bite, the pastiera and cannoli are excellent.

What strikes us about this group is the consistency between numbers and quality, the perfect organization of its venues, the reliability over time. Besides the pizza marinara and margherita, we recommend the one with Cantabrian anchovies. Not to be underestimated, the kitchen proposes some classics of the Italian tradition. All accompanied by a wine selection, typical of a restaurant more than a pizzeria, for tasty and original pairings. Excellent service, even at peak hours.

Tre Spicchi (3/3) — Gambero Rosso Top Italian Restaurants 2023. The double offer of Italian pizzas by the Salvo brothers quickly created a huge buzz, conquering the palate of customers in the Sanlitun district. The pizza art runs in the veins of the owners, in fact it is a family tradition that has been handed down from generation to generation since 1928. There are two branches that offer two different philosophies: at Forno the pizza is sold by the slice, while the Neapolitan style pies are the protagonists at Bottega. The latter restaurant, with an informal and lively atmosphere, was opened in 2014 to introduce an excellent pizza with a soft and fragrant crust. The classics are well executed, but for a more original bite we recommend the Primavera: bresaola cured beef, grilled asparagus, mozzarella, Parmigiano and extra virgin olive oil.

Excellent start with the three montanare (yellow, red and green), thanks to a perfect frying and the incisive and delicious toppings. The Corbarina is highly recommended, with tomatoes from Corbara, Fior di latte from Monti Lattari, Mozzarella di Bufala DOP, Pecorino Romano DOP, red onions from Tropea IGP, oregano, fresh basil: really tasty and satisfying. Don't miss the pizza alla pala baked in an electric oven, fragrant and with an out of the ordinary flavour, available in 5 classic versions.

High attention to the ingredients used and an airy and soft sourdough, with a well-raised rim . The quality of the products chosen is evident upon tasting: each ingredient used comes from small artisans who work with passion, the same feeling that is then confirmed on the plate. The dough is naturally leavened and the flours are made from ancient grains. We point out from the menu the Shroom pizza and the Hindsholm, two toppings in which the Nordic style of cuisine meets the Italian one. We also had the very intense and evocative Rianata, with siccagno tomato sauce, anchovies paste, pecorino, oregano. And there's also fine drinking, with many interesting natural wines. If you're into wine, we warmly invite you to pay a visit to Liquo, the new wine bar opened by Giuseppe, located few meters away.

Tre Spicchi (3/3) — Gambero Rosso Top Italian Restaurants 2023. From farm to pizza. An intriguing claim of this pizzeria which is only a walk away from the Sagrada Familia. After a career and building up experiences in important restaurants of Spain, Rafa Panatieri and Jorge Sastre decided to open their pizzeria. Local, seasonal ingredients, bought by farmers or directly grown near the venue, and imported raw materials are used to deliver a glimpse of one of Italy's most famous dishes. We found that the discs were cooked perfectly. A fragrant and soft bite that resembled the pizza of the city of Naples. The classic Margherita was delicious, but try the one with Cantabrian anchovies, kalamata olives, tomato, and escarole. Before the check, a classic Tiramisù is the right way to end the dining experience.

Originally from the Naples Spanish Quarters, as a pizza maker he had come to the fore by collaborating with the Big Mama group. In Paris, he has opened a branch in the twentieth arrondissement that offers a contemporary version of Neapolitan-style pizza, with a nice high, honeycombed crust. Ordering a Neapolitan "cuoppo" paper cone filled with fried morsels is certainly an excellent choice to start with, while for pizzas we recommend a Lady Emilia, with ricotta, smoked fior di latte, mortadella, pesto and crumbled pistachios. The wine list is good with a fine selection of labels.

Tradition and high-quality ingredients manage to convey an excellent Neapolitan-style pizza. However, the success of this place is also due to a close-knit team and deep knowledge of pizza art. Crocchè and Montanare are an unmissable starter of the meal. Among the pizzas we recommend the Margherita with our eyes closed, a true signature pizza that bears the signature of Ciro Salvo and combines simplicity with a crazy tasty bite and the Nerano with zucchini cream, fior di latte, fried zucchini cubes, provolone del monaco and fresh mint.

Tre Spicchi (3/3) — Gambero Rosso Top Italian Restaurants 2022. With ever greater awareness, Denis Lovatel continues unwaveringly on the path begun a few years ago, offering his guests increasingly genuine pizzas. Reduction of waste, environmental sustainability (also a priority in the choice of suppliers), great attention to vegetable produce and human health are all key, because eating well and feeling well can only go hand in hand. And of course, there's the extreme care taken for a product that gets better by the year. The crust, whether round or Roman-style "alla pala", is fragrant, melting in your mouth just the way it should. Their aptly combined, flavorful toppings follow the same philosophy. In summer try the Orient, with Gargano tomatoes, Agerola fiordilatte mozzarella, gorgonzola, caramelized onion and sautéed herbs. There are various types of Margheritas, from the Cilento to the tomato confit, to the classic version (which certainly shouldn't be missed). Another excellent pie is the Colori Gustosi, with tomato, Taggiasca olives, burrata cheese, tomato confit and toasted almonds. Their side dishes and service are managed with the same care and skill. Starting this year, Lovatel's pizzas can also be found at the Rosalpina Wine Bar & Grill (home of the great chef Norbert Niederkofler).

Increasingly green and increasingly centered on experimentation, Alberto Morello's Gigi Pipa continues to grow, from cultivation of the vegetable garden (drawing on collaborations) to the production of baked goods (supported by the opening of the Bottega del Pane bakery and bistro). The goals are to reduce waste, highlight harmony with nature, educate the guest on seasonal ingredients, and guarantee good, all-round service. As their balanced and complete menu makes clear, they've hit their stride, offering everything from classic pizzas to different types of Margheritas, contemporary pizzas and personal interpretations (available as part of a tasting menu). As for the doughs, Alberto has never been one to compromise, drawing on stone-ground flours, long leavening that brings out the aromas and qualities of the sourdough starter and grains, and baking that borders on perfection. The pizzeria itself is spacious and well organized, making for a pleasant atmosphere that's apt for tasting. New customers have to try the house specialty, the Dall'orto, an absolute revelation in its latest version (fiordilatte mozzarella, Swiss chard, parsnip, cherries, cabbage and courgette cream). Everyone else has plenty to explore, or can trust in the advice of the wait staff. Craft beers and organic wines to wash it all down.

Ruggero ("Lello" to his friends) and Pina are partners in work and life, a pair who've never stopped "growing" (according to the house motto). In fact, during the pandemic what should have been a simple kitchen was transformed into a full-fledged bakery for take-out and delivery. Their meticulously prepared pizzas have continued to win over new fans by virtue of the unique, quality ingredients used: stone ground flours, sourdough starter, San Marzano tomatoes, Agerola fiordilatte mozzarella (Slow Food Presidia) ... in short, excellence. There are about 30 pizzas on the menu, with toppings spanning everything from meat to seafood, meaning there really is something for all palates (you can also ask them to cut your pizza so as to share with fellow diners, allowing everyone to try a wider range of toppings). A few examples: 'nduja e cime di rapa (San Marzano tomato, fiordilatte mozzarella, Calabrian Black Pig 'nduja sausage, turnip greens); sogliola e carciofi (Agerola fiordilatte mozzarella, potatoes, sole from the upper Adriatic, basil pesto, artichokes, hollandaise sauce). The atmosphere is elegant, but not formal. The staff is kind, attentive and knowledgeable. An excellent array of beverages, from carefully selected, international craft beers to wines and spirits. Make sure you leave space for Pina's desserts.

Tre Spicchi (3/3) — Gambero Rosso Top Italian Restaurants 2022. Consistency is key for this Verona pizzeria. Here every detail must be consistent with the satisfaction and pleasure of the customer, from the atmosphere to the service and, of course, what comes out of the oven. So it is that at I Tigli you'll find doughs designed to pair harmoniously with the toppings, highly select ingredients whose natural flavor is never overwhelmed, be it fish, meat or vegetables. Painstakingly prepared recipes give rise to such delicacies as Anatra alla birra (toasted barley dough topped with duck breast cooked in beer and then baked with fiordilatte mozzarella and agretti), or Sashimi di mazzancolla (a corn and sunflower seed dough focaccia topped with prawns, bisque, cucumber and fermented tomato). The menu is constantly evolving and in order to give smaller groups the opportunity to taste various selections, you can now choose the "cicchetti" option (with four different slices). Wash it all down with a wine from a nicely designed menu (international in breadth) or with an excellent craft beer. And don't forget their desserts, the perfect end to an exciting journey. Finally, it's worth pointing out the "I Tigli a casa" service, which allows customers to order online and have their food delivered anywhere in Italy.

Tre Spicchi (3/3) — Gambero Rosso Top Italian Restaurants 2022. You'll find the pizzeria where Renato Bosco offers the best of his repertoire in the center of San Martino Buon Albergo, a few kilometers from the Verona Est exit. In a clean and minimal atmosphere that combines modern and ancient elements (such as the original 18th-century brick wall) you can taste various types of dough: from his steamed "bread mozzarella" to the crispy, high-hydration "pizza crunch", to a version that's crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside, to the round pie with a puffy outer crust (made with sourdough starter). You really are spoiled for choice, so our advice is to opt for the tasting menu that allows you to try different types (4 or 6). Each dough has its own specific toppings, and the ingredients are absolutely fresh and delicious. An example? The "Terra e Mare", a crunchy crust made with Artemide rice dough that's been topped with goat cream, ultrasound cooked trout, crispy speck and chives. There's a nice selection of craft beers as well as a wine list that's growing in terms of natural wineries. Punctual and courteous service.

Tre Spicchi (3/3) — Gambero Rosso Top Italian Restaurants 2022. It all began here for Renato Bosco, and still today Saporè Pizza Bakery is at the center of the pizzaiolo's work. In his kitchen, Bosco thinks before he shoots, churning out new creations to be served directly at the shop counter. By innovating, he often finds himself taking new paths, which certainly is no problem. Now he's steering the menu towards the health conscious, moving further and further away from cured meats (a big challenge in a city where the "double crunch" with stracchino, fiordilatte mozzarella and mortadella has always been a best seller). Customers are already following his lead, such that the Parmigiana and the Vegetariana (with seasonal vegetables), both baked so as not to alter the original flavors of the toppings, are climbing the ranks. To bring out the flavor of the vegetables, he uses grains and malts in his doughs that release unique fragrances. His goal? Demonstrate that the products of the earth, purchased from local farmers, are not only healthy but also delicious. There are some seats, but the space is dominated by the counter, where you can also buy breakfast pastries, sourdough bread, biscuits, puff pastries and Italian holiday classics.

Drinks offered are beer and a small but valid selection of wines, with various proposals from Campania. Attentive and friendly service.

He moved La Fenice to a new, more central location, larger with more seats and services. Now there's also a café / wine bar, an area for children and a lovely outdoor dining area in the square. The atmosphere is a perfect mix of old (Vietri ceramics, wood and stone) and modern (glass and metal). The menu hasn't changed, however, nor has the importance of their nuvola ("cloud"): a mixture of highly hydrated organic flours (90% water) leavened at length and baked to perfection, making for a light and easy-to-digest focaccia that's crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside. Try the version with PDO buffalo mozzarella from Campania, homemade cherry confit and speck. Their excellent round pizzas (made with biga dough leavened in various ways) come with meticulously selected and seasonal toppings. A valid, rotating selection of beers features about 15 brews from small Italian, German and English producers. There are also other dishes, well presented and generously sized.

After a first, brief stop in nearby Bassano, in 2015 he created this welcoming pizzeria on the outskirts of Treviso together with his wife, Raffella De Rosa.
