Pizzeria Chiosco di Porta Montanara In Faenza

A spartan corner of authentic Japan

Evening in Faenza, aperitivo downtown, then a bit hungry. Wandering around, I find this kiosk with Neapolitan flavors that tempts me. It's a typical kiosk location, charmingly located under a castle, where you order at the counter and are then served at your table. I try the fried pizza with sausage, broccoli rabe, and fontina cheese. The fried pizza is very good, like a huge panzerotto, with sausage (not very flavorful) and broccoli rabe in abundance, with fontina cheese added (not noticeable). Overall, I'd say it didn't leave me wanting to order it again, but I'll definitely try their other specialties; there are so many. Definitely worth trying again.

My favourite “Salvatore” in town

Historic pizzeria run by Dimitri, one of Salvatore's sons, with his wife Marika, and good staff. Quick and quality service. Wide selection of pizzas and other dishes in a modern environment with an outdoor extension for hot periods at more than fair prices near the parking lot. Free Wi-Fi with exposed PW (for customers).
