Pizzeria Giovanni Santarpia

The 35 Best Restaurants in Florence, Italy | Eater

"The Florentine culinary repertoire historically excludes pizza, but the city is still a magnet for exceptional pizza-makers. If you’re craving a well-crafted pie, look no further than Santarpia, which combines new-wave creativity with traditional heart. Pizza chef Giovanni Santarpia hails from Campania and has spent years earning feathers as one of the best pizzaioli in the country. He’s obsessed with dough and ingredient quality, fermentation, and warm hospitality. The craft beer selection is top-notch as well. Santarpia is outside the historic center of town, but worth the detour. Know before you go: Pick a pie featuring golden Piennolo tomatoes." - Coral Sisk
