The usual race against the clock for lunch or that sad microwave-heated office lunch box can become nothing more than a bad memory. There’s a new urban ritual waiting for you whether you work or find yourself spending the middle of the day among the bars and restaurants of Porta Venezia or along the shopping streets of Porta Ticinese.
It’s the unmistakable crunch of an incredibly crispy pizza, baked in a pan, topped with wildly authentic ingredients, and then folded in half, like a wallet, to be eaten on the go as you walk.
The project has taken the city by storm, starting from a hidden kitchen on Via Melchiorre Gioia; it has earned an exceptional 4.7-star rating on Google, and if you haven’t taken a bite yet, you’re officially off Milan’s culinary radar.
Joe Bastianich’s TV accolade: “The best in Milan”
The definitive recognition of this miracle of crispiness came straight from the screens of Sky and TV8. During an episode of the show Foodish, Joe Bastianich tasted the golden crust of this Sardinian slice and declared without hesitation: “It’s the best pizza by the slice in Milan.”
A slogan so powerful that the founders almost had a commemorative T-shirt printed with it. This isn’t the usual fleeting social media hype to waste your time: here you’ll find a line outside the windows at noon because the product is a hit, especially when you’re looking for a place to eat pizza in Milan during a quick break from work and demand ingredients you can’t find anywhere else.
A game-changer for your lunch break: the mathematical rule of the 3 slices
In an era when even a takeout salad in Milan can drain your wallet, this Sardinian street food (known in Sardinia as “pizedda”) throws a wrench in the works with an unbeatable price for your midday break.
Here, a classic slice of margherita costs €3, while the special topped versions range from €4 to €5.50. Figuring out the cost of your lunch has become a mathematical rule among regulars: 3 “pizzedde” are exactly equivalent to one whole round pizza.
From Orgosolo Sausage to Gorgonzola: Flavors That Are Truly Addictive
The counter takes you on a journey straight to the boldest flavors of Sardinia. For those seeking the ultimate in tradition, there’s the Margherita or La Rossa—simple and intense, just as they’re eaten in Cagliari.
The real masterpiece is the Sardinian Sausage and Pecorino, featuring pecorino cream and dry sausage from Orgosolo. For those who love the sweet-savory contrast, there’s the combination of caramelized Tropea onions and Gorgonzola—one of the most popular flavors for delivery.
There’s also an option with the scent of the sea: capers, black olives, and anchovies—perfect for taking a break from the chaos of Milan and feeling like you’re on vacation for a moment.
The obsession with the Sardinian supply chain and where to find pizzedde
The foundation of every slice you order is an untouchable trinity: super-crispy dough, tomato, and stringy fiordilatte. The brand behind this success is called Sa Pizzedda and was born from an idea by a man from Cagliari and a man from Pavia who met in college.
Their three stores in Milan are located here:
📍Via Bernardino Lanino 3;
📍Corso di Porta Ticinese 60;
📍Via Lazzaro Palazzi 10.
Get ready for business trips, too: after selling over 500,000 “pizzedde,” the brand has already announced openings in Turin, Bologna, Florence, and Verona, with the goal of reaching 20 locations in Italy.
