Pizzeria Statale 45, Italia In Piacenza

05/03/2026: Overall, the food is good and the price is reasonable. Perhaps a little noisy. Excellent service. Drinkable coffee.

17/02/2026: ⭐⭐⭐✨ (3.5/5) I've been to this place several times for lunch with colleagues. The place is large and spacious, suitable for both quick business lunches and dinners with friends. The service has always been good: friendly staff and reasonable service times, even when it's busy. The menu is varied: they serve pizza, first courses, and second courses, so there's a wide selection. I think I even saw a lunch menu for around €16 with a first course, second course, and side dish (I didn't check it out because I almost always order pizza). The pizza is good, but there's one aspect I personally don't like: the "basic" version, the cheapest one, is actually a crispy schiacciatina (it's not clearly stated). You can also order a "thick" pizza, which is more like a traditional pizza, but for an extra charge. In my opinion, other places offer a pizza like that as a standard option and at a slightly lower price. Last time, I had a deep-dish pizza and a Coke, and I paid €18—a bit above average for lunch. The location is strategic (near Via Emilia), although parking isn't always easy to find, but that's understandable given the busy area. Overall, I've always had a good experience, both in terms of service and food quality. The only thing that makes me slightly lower my rating is the pizza and the final price. Otherwise, a positive experience.
