Founded in Milan in 1953, Spontini pizzeria now has 11 branches across Italy and has expanded overseas to Tokyo. This pizzeria has two distinctive features: first, it has been operating for over 50 years and only sold one type of pizza, but now, due to new branches, it offers two more varieties. The second feature is that the pizzeria has no seating; customers have to eat standing up. In the open glass room, you can clearly see how the pizza chefs make the pizzas. Their pizzas are of the Neapolitan thick-crust style. Although the crust is thick, it is very soft in texture, with a crispy bottom like a potsticker. The thick cheese melts on the substantial crust after being baked in a wood-fired oven, and the rich tomato sauce adds a sweet and sour flavor to the overall taste.
Piadina is an authentic snack from the Emilia-Romagna region in northern Italy. The name of this snack shop, 'La Piadineria,' means 'The Pancake Shop.' Although it's just a small pancake, its preparation is extremely meticulous, from the flour to the freshest ingredients placed on top. This might be the secret to the success of this pancake chain. Unlike other Italian snacks, the filling inside Piadina emphasizes 'raw.' The ideal combination is green arugula, fresh tomatoes, buffalo mozzarella, and raw ham. Freshly baked flatbread filled with various vegetables, Squacquerone cheese, and their special smoked meat is incredibly delicious, making it a refreshing snack from central Italy. Alternatively, you can spread it with Nutella, the favorite chocolate spread of Italians, for a mouthful of Ferrero flavor. With 33 flavor options, there's sure to be something you like.
