Discover the best pizza in Lombardia

Lombardia is not where pizza was born, but Milan has become one of Italy's most ambitious places to eat it. The city is a stronghold of pizza contemporanea: dough left to ferment for a day or more, baked into a tall, airy rim with an open, alveolate crumb. You will also find by-the-slice counters, classic wood-fired Neapolitan, and cooks treating toppings like a tasting menu. It fits a city that runs on aperitivo and late dinners. Did you know much of Italy's modern, high-hydration pizza movement found a wide audience in Milan? These are the spots we rate highest, judged on the pizza alone.
