Spontini

Overall, the experience at Spontini was good. I was impressed by how well the staff managed the constant queues — there were plenty of team members available, and service remained efficient despite how busy it was. That said, I do feel the place is a bit overrated given the hype around it. Still, that doesn’t mean it isn’t great; the quality is solid and it’s worth trying, just maybe not quite as exceptional as some make it out to be.

Spontini is a classic spot for thick, cheesy Milan-style pizza. The pizza is filling, rich, and very indulgent, though quite heavy, so it’s not for everyone. Service is fast and efficient, mainly focused on quick turnover. The atmosphere is lively but can feel crowded and a bit hectic. Good for a quick, iconic pizza experience rather than a relaxed sit-down meal.

Spontini is amazing if you want classic Milanese pizza. The slices are huge, cheesy, and seriously comfortingyou can’t help but go back for more. It’s super casual and no-frills, but that’s part of the charm. The staff are friendly, and it always has a nice, lively local vibe. Honestly, it’s the perfect spot for a quick, delicious pizza fix in Milan.

The Margherita pizza slice was absolutely delicious so fresh, flavorful, and the crust was perfect. Truly a yummy However, I was a little put off while watching them prepare the orders. I noticed they use the same pizza cutter (the rolling blade) for every single pizza without wiping or cleaning it between uses. I understand it's busy and it's only used on pizza, but for customers with allergies or dietary restrictions (like vegetarian or halal), this could be a real concern. A quick wipe with a clean cloth between pizzas would make a huge difference and show a commitment to food safety. The pizza is good enough to come back for, but I really hope they consider this small change.

This has to be the best pizza slice in Milan (no joke, I'll recommend this place to literally everyone!) The downsides is that there is absolutely no place to sit. At this point, we could go on workouts and eat our food at the same time!! The upsides are the slices are cut by a machine so fierce that it can probably cut a banana into 10 pieces. It tastes better than all of the other somewhat expensive pizza chains nearby.

Honestly, the pizza is very delicious 😋. It’s made fresh in front of you, and the prices are very reasonable. Great experience overall. 🍕

Spontini is always a great idea whenever you are in the bustling city of milano. The quality of their pizzas never change and the indulgent delicious taste never fails, so make sure you grap a bite whenever you are around the city with many branches dotted around the city center ... we were passing by and we ended up having it for dinner and it made the rest our night delightful. I always have their anchovies, which is out of this world, with a crispy bottom and a rich cheesy core this pizza is just unbeatable for the lovers of deep dish pizza.

Best pizza franchise on the planet man… Don’t go here if you want Dominoes or Pizza Hut, only disappointed with the lack of pineapple on pizza Eat your pizza with a fork and knife while standing up, yeah there’s no seats in this place 5/5 ⭐️

we were near the duomo area and reviews had recommended to try this place if you are in the area. the place was PACKED with lots of rush but the service went by quickly. we got the cheese pizza and pesto lasagna. the cheese pizza was thick and large and pesto lasagna was a huge slice - what was lacking was flavor and taste as both were minimal in both products. the pizza toppings were not good but the thick bread was decent; the lasagna had decent flavor underneath but the green beans were not good. overall it seemed more like a late night adventure after enjoying the town rather than a sober event.

Man this pizza is affordable and delicious! Located right next to duomo and the famous galleria, if you want a good and cheap bite, this is the place to go. If you order to go you CAN NOT, I REPEAT CAN NOT eat inside it is their rule, don't try them because they do not play about that rule, I saw it for myself. They are very friendly, the pizza is made in house (you watch them make it). I plan to go back to Milan and this spot will be on my list to stop at again.

Location is great near galleria Staff is very nice and welcoming Pizza lovers must come here! It's so tasty! I love the cheese pizza! Over all 5 stars

Spontini makes a classic Milan pizza and is popular for a reason. They've been around for decades and use very good toppings. The cheese is fresh cut, the salami is savory, and the tomatoes are juicy. The base of the pizza is their weak spot. The bread is a bit airy and soft without flavor, but the outside crust does hit home pretty well. The slices are huge so two of them will more than fill you up. They cut the slices into manageable pieces you can handle. Prices are a little high at €8 a slice for the ones with bacon or salami. Just be conscious about what you're ordering before you fully commit. The Primavera and Salami are probably worth something close to that cost, but the bacon is weak.

I went to this place once in 2015 and it is still hands down the best pizza I have ever eaten in my life. I dream about this place. If I ever go back to Italy I might take a detour back to Milan just so I could eat their pizza again. It was absolutely delicious. My compliments to the chef for making the most wonderful pizza.

Fun place to try something different, those Milanese style pizzas. Be warned. This slice is enough for one person, maybe two not to hungry people. You can choose one of the options and add/remove to it. Highly recommend. Wish there was more of a sit down atmosphere.

Came here to get a snack, this was close to the shopping area. I got a pizza margherita to go and sat by the duomo. The pizza was really fun, they're like little pillows and each is so bite sized! It's a fun and casual snack to grab to eat on the go.

The bottom crust is similar to a deep dish pizza with a crispy bottom crust. Top cheese reminds me of the corner pieces on an American lasagna. Had it Togo so I didn't experience it fresh but I was pleasantly surprised at how much I liked it given how much different styles of pizza that I ate in Italy.

Saw this place on lots of girls' study abroad pictures when I was younger and when I eventually did have a chance to go to Milan I decided to check it out. The pizza was really good! Great grab & go snack if you're near the Duomo and are hungry.

Visited: Spring 2019 Ordered: -Margherita Thoughts: We arrived late afternoon, but the place was super busy and we had to wait in a line. However, it did move along quickly. There aren't any seats to sit down and eat comfortably, you have to stand by the tables. The pizza was different and good, but I'd have better pizza in Italy.

Best pizza to try in Milan!!!! Convenient, cheap and bursting with flavor!!! There is standing room only for tables which if it is super busy, you will be taking your pizza to go. I ordered the large portion of the cheese pizza to really capture the flavor and based on other reviews. The ooey gooey cheese, the tasty sauce and the bite sized squares made it super easy to eat. For a chain they had good quality, great service, spoke English and took credit cards. I would definitely come back any time.

I've been staring at pictures of pizza from this place on instagram for a good 2 years. I was so excited I was coming to Milan to finally try it! It's fast food. They have tables but no chairs. You get your pizza almost immediately and it's a gigantic slice cut into small pieces. I liked the flavor but the piece I got was kind of burnt on the bottom and extra crispy. For it to be so bready looking I was kind of hoping for it to be soft and chewy as opposed to a bit hard and crunchy. It ended up having a more oily focaccia type bread taste. The toppings were great though (I just got the margherita so cheese and tomato sauce). Definitely not bad though. Worth a try.

Fast, Fresh, Tasty and easy on your wallet. One of the best lasagnas I've had locally. Pizza was also fresh and flavorful.

A nice thick crust slice of pizza that is made fresh right in front of you. I had ham and spicy salami on mine. The crust is crispy on the edge and soft inside. Staff was friendly. Unfortunately no restroom here.

A nice Milanese pizzeria for a quick bite! The line went really fast and the staff spoke great English. I got a regular slice of Spontini for 5€ and it was larger than some American pizza slices. The dough was soft, the Mozzarella cheese was on point and there's anchovies as well. The bottom of the pizza was fried and crunchy. They also had set menus that included water, beer and beverages. A must-go for some Milanese pizza!

We had a few hours in Milan and we were craving pizza! So we walked the 3km to Spontini for some good pizza. So you enter in one door, choose what you want then hand the receipt to the next station and they will serve up your pizza with your desired toppings for you to enjoy. There are quite a few options on the menu and you can choose between a large or medium size pizza. These aren't your normal slices-they are much thicker (like a Chicago deep dish) and very tasty. I had the large and it filled me up for sure. I thought is was great with lots of flavours with the crust being like a buttery crispy taste. When you get your food, they have communal style standing tables (no seats here which was a shame as we just wanted to sit for a bit) Overall great pizza, great location and would def be back!

It is small pizza place in the crowded duomo area, take out only. My daughter found this highly rated store, and I am totally surprised by the quality of the pizza at such tourist crowded place. Also this was first pizza we had since entering Italy, it reminded me the deep dish pizza at Chicago. The crust was crispy, cheese was creamy, one larger slice could feed two people.

This is strictly a fast food place. Something to eat while on the go. Do not depend on this to be what real Italian pizza is like. The portions are huge, prices are good. You get a big slice for 5 euros+. The cheese is heavy and the dough is thick. Nonetheless, satisfied a pizza craving, but too much for me to be eating in Italy.

This small pizza shop is hidden within a nest of touristy stores. The offerings are few but excellent. Pizza Mediterranean, margarita, and prosciutto. They also offer lasagna, beer, soda and water. We ordered one slice of the prosciutto which is pretty much the margarita with meat added. The bread is thick and pillowy with a nice crust. The cheese is gooey and the sauce is savory. The pizza comes chopped in 1.5 inch squares for easier consumption. Very tasty pizza for just 4.50 Euros. Next one I will try a Mediterranean since it looks as if there is a lot more pomodoro sauce, which is all I need as it turns out. See the cathedral, get some pizza, feed left over crust to pigeons if you like, take a place twin whisperer photo. Atmosphere: 4/5 Food/drink: 4/5 Cost: 5/5 Service: 4/5 Overall: 4.25/5

this pizza is breathtaking from start to finish. Watching it cook in the oven in that huge iron cast pan is memorizing. And when it comes out and the cheese is all bubbly I want to just eat it right out of the pan but then they cut it for you in large bite size pieces. The margherita was plain and simple but when done this way it's simplicity can be appreciated by how well executed it was. The crust is thick like foccachia but light and airy still. The sauce sweet and a bit tart. And the cheese, stringy and creamy and never enough.

Located very conveniently near the duomo this place is great if you just want to grab something quick that will satisfy your stomach. Thick and fluffy crusts! If you're looking for thin crusts or Napoli style pizza you're in the wrong place. I had the double mozzarella Margherita small slice for 5.5 euro and that was hefty enough to satisfy me. Ends of the crusts were also delightfully crispy and not plain. Throughly enjoyed my slice! Standing space inside only.

I stumbled upon Spontini two years ago while visiting the duomo. There was a little bit of a line up but it didn't take too long. Two years later, I am still thinking about and craving this pizza. I've never had anything else that can compare. The thickness was just right with the perfect amount of sauce and cheese. They've achieved the golden ratio! I also like that they cut it up for you so it's not messy to eat at all. If I ever go back to Milan, Spontini would be my #1 destination. I can't wait to devour this again!

Their pizza slices are huge. It was a perfect slice: somehow crunchy on the bottom, soft in the middle, with hot and gooey cheese on top. They cut up the slice for you in squares. I only wish the cheese and sauce were distributed more evenly. This place has no seating, just standing tables.

Went to Spontini per the recommendation of Conde Nast Traveler (lol). But the pizza surely didn't let me down! For 6 euros you can get the margherita (hopefully I'm spelling that correctly) pizza and a Pepsi, which turned out to be the perfect quick lunch I needed. The pizza itself was very good. Fluffy dough with lots and lots of cheese. Granted I just came from Naples where the BEST pizza is, but I would definitely recommend Spontini if you're in need of a quick bite to eat. There is no seating available. They give you your pizza on plate, sliced up. You stand there, eat, and then leave.

I agree with Daniel W. Of all the pizza in Milan, this is the one that I'll remember. It was unique and fantastic. I came in for a snack my first day in Milan and had the special - margherita pizza slice and drink. For a stand up, fast food pizza place I was utterly wowed! Such a fluffy, flavorful crust and simple, delicious sauce and cheese. Cut to bite size pieces and served fast. I tried several restaurants (and lots of pizza) during my visit, but I craved this pizza the rest of the trip, and I made a point to revisit before leaving Milan. I would have it again if I could!

For what it is, fast food, Spontini does it right. Two Prosciutto slices (€4 each) and two Pepsi Light (€2.30 each), and we refreshed, reinvigorated and ready to go. Wish they had Coke products, pizza was hot, very good, and fast. Four Stars.

Aight so it was night and we tryna be Italian and eat late so homegirl pulled up yelp and we found this joint. They got small and large slices, I went large cos u know, I'm greedy. It was SO good (can u even get bad pizza in Italy??) They even cut it up for you which was a nice touch cos I'm too lazy for that ish usually. Rounded off the meal with a bottle of water and then we fled into the night (to get bit by mosquitos all over my body which, nah I'm super mad about, I got bit on my back 8 times !!!, but you don't care about that I know)

Eat here. Simply amazing I've never had pizza this good in my life. This is the kingdom of all pizza

fast pizza slices cut to bite-sized pieces...fast moving line, simple 3 pizza menu and order counter...prosciutto 4€....margherita 3,50€....mediterranea 3€...thick crust and slightly salty pizza slices....sliced in cubes and fork to eat...can soda 2,30€...pizza and drink combinations available with choices of water, soda or beer...standing tables, so turnover is quick...crowded at times, but always a place to stand...keep valuables close and never behind...very thick and mostly bread pizza, so a single slice should satisfy hunger for most people...margherita slice was very light on the cheese, but eyeing neighboring pizza slices with more cheese...bit inconsistent from slice to slice...

Hell yeah this is a sick place. Menu is pretty straightforward, which is always a good thing! You should distrust places with a menu of 50 different pizzas!! They do a very good thing: they keep it simple. Three kinds of pizza, very good ones, and they kill it. This is the "al taglio pizza" not the round one you normally eat. It's a thicker pizza, sold per slice. It's pricey, yes, it's true. But that comes also because the place is located basically at duomo, and the pizza is really good so you won't mind paying for it. Staff was kind. Only thing: I would have loved to seat, there are no seats in the place, eating standing it's not a very Italian thing, and to be honest, it's definitely not a healthy habit. PUT SOME CHAIRS PLEASE!

As an American, I was totally turned off by the idea of eating American pizza in Italy but honestly this place is amazing and totally blew my mind. it's American style so it's like greasy and bready but the crust is incredible and in general the pizza is pretty good and this location in particular is super close to a bunch of sights so I highly recommend it if you're just looking for an on the go street food/snack. Don't come here for dinner or expecting an authentic Italian experience because this is for sure fast food.

Spent a semester abroad in Milan studying at Bocconi and this was one of my lunch spots between classes. Tucked away in the Galleria, Spontini is an absolute gem of an institution. The buttery and crispy crust, the sweet and tangy tomato sauce, and the satisfyingly stringy and mellow cheese - absolute perfection. Eating it with a fork is a must and always go for that cheese pull pic. Service is quick and there is no seating - just standing at long tables. Can't go wrong here at all.

Good honest comfy Italian Pizza and a bit of an institution in Milan. Simply line up and order from a choice of 3 types and magically your pizza appears..ok maybe not magically. The pizza chef then slices and dices the slice in front of your eyes into convenient bit size squares. Perfect for a quick snack but don't let your eyes deceive you! You only need 1 slice. Trust me. Think more pizza pie then thin crust. Takeaway it is but Pizza Hut this ain't!

The only pizza I got in Milan and it was delicious! After being stuffed from pizza with thin crust in Italy, I was glad to finally find a place with thick crust. Everything was great about this place - the quick service, quality of the food and the convenient location, but the only thing is that there are no chairs here, so you basically have to stand while you eat.

I live in Italy and this is my favorite to this day -- I first tried it 2 years ago and have not stopped loving it since. Its fast, simple, big, and filling. It's a unique type of pizza because it's by the slice which is rare in italy, and the slice is then chopped gently into cubes so you eat it easily with a fork. The pizza itself is unique because it is a thick crust, with a consistency and taste similar to focaccia. It is soooo delicious.

I've had pizza all over the world. I don't just throw this statement out left and right. THIS IS THE BEST PIZZA I'VE HAD IN MY LIFE.

We only ate here because we arrived at Luini on a Monday (it's closed on Mondays!!!!) :(. And we were very hungry, so Spontini it was. Honestly, the pizza was just ok and nothing spectacular (of course, it's fast food). My slice was burnt and barely had any cheese. This would be a two-star review, but adding a star because of the ability to get a beer with the combo. Everything is better with beer! Plus, the location is super convenient.

After today's visit, I must update my review and take a star off... I am a regular of this Spontini (in fact I'm the Duchess ;)) but in the past months I've seen the quality decrease every time. It is still the same pizza slice but the crust is almost always burnt, the ham in the prosciutto pizza is half of what they used to add and even prices are higher now. It is still one of the fastest places to have lunch in the center (the queues have decreased as well, together with the quality) and even if they have just raised the prices - now the Prosciutto pizza is 4 euro (used to be 3.60 and had more prosciutto...) - they're still a cheap option. After a few months they finally realized they needed to start giving plastic knives, hopefully in a couple of months they'll find out how to use the big screen that has been hanging there since the opening (or is it only meant to show the pizzeria's logo?). Also, since there are no chairs or stools, perhaps coat hangers under the high tables would be appreciated. I'm not a big fan of Luini so I'll still come here for a quick pizza , but this in no way has to be considered the "real" Spontini pizza, just a quick and cheap centric option.

The ONLY meal I had in Milan the entire trip! ...because I ate the pizza here for dinner upon arrival and it gave me a stomach virus. The doctor, who had been called to my hotel room due to my inability to crawl out of the bed, diagnosed me with viral gastroenteritis which is most commonly caused by improper food handling. AKA via fecal-oral transmission. Let that sink in for a bit.

I love spontini pizza! It reminds me of an Italian version of Giordanos in Chicago. It is a thick, fluffy pizza which is not the norm in Italy. It is always hot, buttery and a little crispy on the edges. Definitely worth a visit. Lines move fast!

One of the tasty, fast and cheap place in milano! Its near by duomo piazza and good for fast lunch! You can eat a great ice cream across this rest!

Hands down one of the best pizza place to eat in Milan! Not to mention its cheap n filling! Went around 1pm and line was literally out the door. But don't be intimidated as the line goes extremely fast. We we able to order in about 10 minutes and was eating in literally 12 minutes! : ) had the margherita (3.20 euro) and wifey had the prosciutto (3.60 euro). Both were super delicious!!! Sauce was tasty with a super buttery and crunchy bottom. This place only allows standing room so be prepared get cozy with others enjoying this great pizza!!! Definitely recommend this spot!!!

What can I say, there is just no better place for a quick meal than here. Think globs of mozzarella cheese on thick tomato sauce on top of piping hot and fluffy focaccia crust. It doesn't get any better. Alright it's standing only and can get crowded but I did say a quick meal.

people are crazy about this restaurant , yes it is a good pizza but I couldn't find any difference comparing to other pizzerias we paid 15 euros for two big slices of pizza with two coca cola , fair price

So much pizza in Milan but this is the one I'll write home about. Simple but so good. One slice is definitely enough but I wouldn't judge you if you go for two ;)

Try the spontini .. it's so good, and the service is fast. but make sure you already known what to order before going to the cashier.

We found a pizzeria with this long line outside - Spontini. It took us a few minutes to get up to the front counter. We had a margherita, prosciutto, and mushroom pizza (E5.00), lasagna (E4.50), and water (E1.00 each). The prosciutto and mushroom were just placed on top of the cooked pizza. We had to wait for them to warm up the lasagna. The pizza was thick crust with lots of cheese. It is pre-cut into bite size pieces, so it made it easy to eat. The lasagna had lots of layers of pasta and was really soft so it was easy to cut. We stood at the side counter eating our lunch. It was packed inside. We enjoyed it. The slice of pizza was filling.

Delicious, quick, THICK and easy pizza! It was really crowded so i decided to try it. I ate it cold because I got it To Go, and waited until I was back in my room to eat it, but it was still on point. Only a four star because a small portion where the crust would be was burnt a little, but I still ate it because it was that good. Gonna try again with a hot slice tomorrow... (Will update... Maybe)

Spontini specializes in a thick pizza with an ultra-crispy bottom. While maybe not very traditional Italian pizza, it's still delicious and pretty cheap for how filling it is. Actually my first pizza in Italy when I arrived for study abroad. It's fast and cheap, so it's a win. This location can get ultra busy sometimes but the line moves fast so don't be too intimidated.

Cheap, fast, delicious. What more could you ask for? We found this place by chance while we were roaming around Duomo area, although I had read about it on Yelp previously. The menu is very simple, there are three types of slices to choose from and you can choose to get a combo (with a drink). We went with Margherita and shared one slice between the two of us. They pre-cute the slice for you, so it's easy to share. It was fresh, hot right out of the oven, so cheesy and so delicious. It was so good that we had to go back for another slice right before we headed to the train station!
