While Milan might not be known for pizza, that doesn’t stop it from having some incredible pizzerias. I have spent the past few months trying out countless pizzerias to try and find the best pizza in Milan. I have gone to all different types from gourmet to glovo-dominated places.
Fortunately no matter the location the price of a simple pizza in Milan doesn’t change too much. Expect to pay anywhere from €7-12 for a margarita pizza. These pizzerias all will have great pizzas but the main difference will be the ambiance and the availability of specialty toppings.
The Best Casual Pizza Places in Milan
Marghe
Marghe is one of my favorite pizza places in Milan. If you are staying on the east side of Milan this will be your spot. They have two locations and the pizza is always incredible. They use really good ingredients and offer great basic pizzas and fun seasonal pizzas. I highly recommend getting their ‘nudja pizza. This is the perfect place to go with friends as you can get a table and sit outside and enjoy your pizza.
Asaje
Asaje has 3 locations across Milan, I visited the location on Viale di Porta Vercellina. This is the most casual spot on the list but their pizza is still of one the best and It is clear that they pay attention to the quality of their ingredients.
The Best Mid-Price Pizza in Milan
Walking into Materia was such a treat. We were able to walk in with no reservation and be greeted by the smile of the pizzolo. However, on weekends it gets very busy so I would recommend making a reservation beforehand. The pizza was great and throughout our meal, we got to see the pizzolo smiling and singing. The amount of joy they had for their job was inspiring and reflected in the taste of the pizza.
High-end pizza Experience in Milan
Roberto Conti has taken an interesting approach to a pizzeria by combining Sushi and Pizza. While this sounds like a strange combination he has made it work with a menu of tartars and gourmet pizza. While at this pizzeria the mix of menu items is also reflected in the ambiance. The service is formal, but the restaurant has a slightly more laid-back feel. The quality of ingredients is incredible, the dough was perfectly thin in the middle and thick and chewy on the outside. The meal started off with the chef’s version of a liquid pizza. It was refreshing and made of incredible ingredients which foreshadowed the rest of this meal. We got a white pizza and a spicy pizza and while the spicy pizza was great, the white pizza’s flavor and balance really stood out. For dessert, we had ice cream and tiramisu. The ice cream was a luxurious take on the classic soft serve. If you don’t have an issue sending 10 euros on a soft serve I would definitely splurge on this (if not you can get something just as good at a local gelateria).
