The Best Pizzerias in Florence
Pizzerias in Florence
You have already tried the steak, the different meats, fish and tonight you fancy something different? Or do you simply think that pizza and beer are the best way to spend an evening together with friends?
You are right! Pizza is one of the national dishes in Italy and although made of incredibly simple ingredients, it can be really tasty … you just have to know where to go!
Here's my list of the best Pizzerias in Florence.
As usual for each local you will find the coordinates, a short description and where possible, the link to the website.
Rossopomodoro
Address: Piazza del Mercato Centrale 22/R
Telephone: 055-211131
Description: for the lovers of true Neapolitan pizza, this cute (and small) local welcomes you right in the Centre of Florence; you won't find an elaborate menu but, as in the best Parthenopean tradition you wont feel the need for it (and seeing that my girlfriend is Neapolitan - a little local culture I did acquire!)
A small starter of crocchè and other small fried appetizers will wet your appetite without filling your stomach, this way you can fully enjoy the quality of ingredients used for the pizzas. The best? Start with the simplest one, the Verace, with mozzarella di bufala DOP, extra-virgin olive oil and a leaf of fresh basil.
mmmm ... I can taste even now as I write!

ZeroZero
Address: via Lorenzoni 6
Telephone: 055-495000
Description: At pizzeria 00, before anything else, you eat with your eyes!
As soon as you walk in you will be surprised by the furnishings that you never expect to find in a pizzeria: you are immediately smitten by the play of mirrors and post-industrial architecture with contrasts of light and steel, seems more like a disco or a trendy place rather than a pizzeria … okay, you got it, the place is posh but is the pizza good?
The pizza like the appetizers is absolutely exceptional. You must try the spaghetti Scoglio and the pizza with porcini mushrooms, a real sensual assault on your taste buds. Since the portions are also quite abundant, after your first course you can choose to share a pizza with friends, ordering it half one way and the other half with a different garnish, can you ask for more?

Da Tito I Peccati di Gola
Address: via Baracca 149
Telephone: 055-416726
Description: you can choose from a vast menu of appetizers, pastas and pizzas all of which are of the best quality. If you want to grab a quick lunch it’s not a problem, they have delicious canapés. If you just want something sweet, there are some excellent crepes to look forward to…
But what if you are looking for a truly different flavor? You can also taste Egyptian specialties... ah yes, I haven’t told you yet, even if Tito now speaks more Florentine than I, having lived in this city a lifetime, he remains a son of Tutankhamen!!
As if that wasn't enough I Peccati in Gola is always open, every day until late at night and the service is really fast and efficient, there’s a reason why this restaurant is always full, true?
I have known the owner personally for many years and I can tell you that the pizzeria di Tito is a guarantee to an excellent meal.

Have you found another pizzeria on the streets of Florence?
Mmmmm, it will be tough since I have lived here all my life and not one new pizzeria escapes me!
However, I love a challenge. Let me know if you do find one, I will try it A.S.A.P. and if the pizza is as good as you say it is, I will publish your review on the site.
