Discover the best pizza in Emilia-Romagna

Emilia-Romagna is Italy's pantry, and Bologna brings that obsession to pizza. The city helped popularize sourdough pizza served in segments to share, made with stone-milled flours and naturally leavened dough. Just east in Romagna lives the piadina, the thin griddled flatbread that is a cousin to pizza, not the same thing. Between the two, the region treats dough and local ingredients (mortadella, squacquerone, seasonal vegetables) with real seriousness. Did you know a wave of natural-leaven pizzerias built a national following from Bologna? These are the spots we rank highest here, by the pizza, not the line out front.
