Many Milanese pizzerias boast of serving “the best pizza in town”. Below, we’ve provided the real best pizzerias that only the Milanese know.
Pizzium
Away from the buzz of central Milan, Pizzium is one of the city’s best pizzerias, the line outside proves it. Brick walls, mismatched seats, colorful dishes… In this neo-industrial decor, treat yourself to pizza with generous amounts of toppings. We recommend the classic Margherita for its creamy mozzarella and fresh basil, although big appetites have a weakness for the mortadella-pistachio pizza. For dessert, try the homemade tiramisu.

Marghe Pizza
To taste a real Neapolitan pizza in the heart of Milan, head to Marghe, where the locals come together with passing tourists. Cooked over a wood fire, the pizzas have ultra-crispy edges and wild toppings like the vegan pizza with hummus, black cabbage, Piennolo del Vesuvio tomato, sesame seeds, organic extra virgin olive oil and fresh basil.
Via Cadore, 26, 20135 Milano MI, Italy
Berberè
The bohemian Navigli district, famous for its romantic canals, is home to a delicious piezzeria run by two Italian brothers, Matteo and Salvatore Aloe. At Berberè, the recipe for Neapolitan pizza is made according to the rules: the dough rests for 24 hours prior to being garnished with fresh tomatoes, smoked ricotta, marinated red onions, zucchini, olives and even puree potato. Creative pizzas whose organic flour is outstanding – they even sell one that is a delight for those with gluten intolerance.

Garage Pizza & Co
Both pizzeria and a cocktail bar, Garage & Co pairs two major assets. Matured to a gourmet version, the pizza is light, crispy and above all, unique. Designed similar to a New York City loft, the restaurant attracts night owls searching for fun pizzas like Havana (black Angus meat, rosemary, avocado, etc.). The one with Fior di latte cheese, stracciatella and basil is a favorite among regulars.
Corso Sempione, 42, 20154 Milano MI, Italy
Pizzeria Mari
Ciccio Filippelli’s pizzeria withholds an excellent among the Milanese due to the use of exceptional ingredients. For example? Yellow tomatoes from the Vesuvius valley, wild oregano, fresh basil, Parmigiano Reggiano aged for 24 months, extra-virgin organic olive oil… Pizzas topped with traditional ‘nduja – a spicy sausage paste, are incredible.
Via Lodovico Settala, 16, 20124 Milano MI, Italy
Pizzeria Nazionale
Nestled in the vibrant Brera district, Pizzeria Nazionale is a nice surprise at the crook of a colorful street. In a rustic setting where light wood and green plants reign, we set our signs on a pizza with crispy dough. The most original? Vegan pizza, topped with mashed potatoes, radishes, black olives, capers and polenta chips.
Via Palermo, 11, 20121 Milano MI, Italy
Giolina
There is the atmosphere of a traditional villa from the 70s at Giolina, the latest addition to the landscape of trendy pizzerias. Between leather sofas and candlesticks on terrazzo tables, the address plays the discreet design card, inspired with vintage notes. If we fall for the ingredients from the South of Italy and the salami from Puglia (from the Itria Valley to be exact), the prize goes to the hidden cocktail in the restaurant.
Via Felice Bellotti, 6, 20129 Milano MI, Italy
Pizza AM
Although the Pizza AM pizzeria doesn’t appear to be much, it has the best margherita pizza in Milan. Extremely thin and cooked to perfection, the homemade dough is generously garnished with tomatoes, mozzarella and sometimes fresh chili peppers. Special mention to how they offer a glass of Prosecco and a slice of calzone to customers waiting for a table – the line is often long. Real wood-fire pizzas to drizzle with limoncello at the end of the meal.
