The Low Down on Flo-Town’s Top Pizzerias

By Madlyn Thone

In Italy there are 3 main food groups: panini, pasta, and most importantly pizza. Pizza is the epitome of a perfect meal. How could it not be when you’re combining thick fluffy crust, melted cheese, and endless toppings? After your first Italian pizza experience the way you judge pizza will pretty much be changed forever. Dominos, Pizza Hut, Papa Johns? Forget it—nothing will ever compare.

The best pizza is almost never found in a fancy restaurant. Forget white linen table cloths, silverware, or extensive menus. Walk down nearly any street in Florence and you’re bound to find a different pizzeria and with so many options it can be easy to become overwhelmed to choose which one is the best. Well fear no more because here’s your Florence cheat sheet to the very best pizzerias!

  1. Gusta Pizza

Via Maggio, 46R, 50125 Firenze

Gusta

I don’t know anyone that doesn’t firmly agree that Gusta Pizza is some of the very best in all of Florence. The menu is simple, cheap and most importantly, insanely delicious. With the freshest ingredients and amounts of hot cheese that just defy explanation—this place is bound to become a regular visit. Grab it to go with some Gusta wine and sit on the steps of Piazza Santo Spirito or make the treck up to Piazza Michelangelo, if you somehow have enough self control to wait to eat it until then. Recommendation: the classic Gusta Pizza (cherry tomatoes, arugula, parmesan, mozzarella)

  1. Pizzeria O’Vesuvio

Via dei Cimatori, 21r, 50122 Firenze

Three words: ricotta stuffed crust. It’s a total game changer that takes a simple margherita pizza to the next level. Not to mention that it’s where the cast of Jersey Shore worked while living in Florence. It’s tucked away in a side street but it’s more than worth searching for. Once you walk in you’re immediately greeted by the friendly staff and find yourself longingly staring at the massive brick pizza oven roasting while you patiently wait. Recommendation: Truffle pizza (truffle sauce, fresh mozzarella, mushrooms, white sauce)

  1. Il Pizzaiuolo

Via dè Macci, 113, 50122 Firenze

A favorite among locals, this pizzeria is an off-the-tourist-track destination. It’s a tight squeeze with close tables and walls are covered with pictures of Old Naples. Start the night grabbing pre-dinner drinks around the corner in Sant’Ambrogio square, dine, and hit the neighborhood bars after. With most pizzerias reservations aren’t necessary but with this one you might want to consider! Recommendation: The “Diavolo” (spicy salami, mozzarella cheese, and olives)

  1. Toto’s Pizzeria

Via Dante Alighieri, 28, 50123

Pizza by the slice tends to be harder to come by when in Italy but at Toto’s you can get a slice or a whole pizza to take away. With plenty of different options constantly being prepared it’s hard to choose just one! The slices are massive and be sure to try a different type each time. Bonus: open for late night snack after a night out. Recommendation: The “Florentina” (spicy salami, pecorino cheese)

  1. Yellow Bar

Via del Proconsolo, 39r

Most commonly known for their freshly made pastas, the large pizza menu is often overlooked! The open windows and large bench seating tables make this a fun atmosphere for a big group. The pizza is thin and crispy with a light and fresh tomato sauce that you’ll enjoy until the last bite. Recommendation: The classic margarita pizza can never do you wrong, especially here! Feel free to add your own toppings like arugula to make it even more drool worthy. 

Pizza will always hold a special place in everyone’s hungry heart, especially in Firenze. So next time you’re craving a hunk of fresh, cheesy goodness be sure to check one of these hot spots out. Because really, as if you needed any more reasons to eat out in Italy?
