The Best Pizza Near Osteria del Miglio 2.10, by the Record

Rank 1. Salamensa
Pizza

Rank 2. Passione e Tradizione
Neapolitan Pizza
A pocket of Naples transplanted into a Parma piazza, with plastic chairs outside and Neapolitan spirit inside. This pizzeria turns out classic and contemporary pies in the Neapolitan style, with toppings that follow the season and a finishing drizzle of good olive oil on every pizza. The fried snacks are worth ordering alongside. Seasonal ingredients do the heavy lifting here, and the kitchen clearly sweats the small stuff.
-
A small pizza spot in central Parma where the chef works with high-hydration, long-fermented dough in a style that doesn't answer to Naples. The crust sits at a moderate height, and toppings lean toward Campanian ingredients or pasta-sauce classics like carbonara, ragù, and amatriciana. Tables are close enough that you'll learn your neighbors' order. A newer "fried and deconstructed" menu has since joined the lineup.
-
A farmhouse-style pizzeria outside Brescia where the dough comes from the Pappalardo tradition and the menu runs from a solid margherita to pizzas topped with freshwater fish from the local lakes. Roman-style slices sit alongside full pies and tasting portions, so you can cover a lot of ground in one sitting. The staff knows the menu cold and moves with it. Ranked in the 50 Top Pizza Italy and 50 Top Pizza World lists.
-
A pizza spot in Brescia where the menu is short by design, and every combination on it feels thought through rather than thrown together. The doughs are soft and fragrant, the toppings creative without tipping into chaos, and the beer and wine list holds its own. The room is contemporary but not cold. It ranked 56th on 50 Top Pizza Italy, which in a country that takes this sort of thing very seriously is a statement worth noting.
-
Rank 6. Anima Romita
Contemporary Pizza
A pizza spot in Crema where the music is curated as carefully as the dough, and events are part of the identity rather than an afterthought. The Tramonti line uses a rustic wholemeal base with a faint fennel note, and the fried starters, particularly the arancino, hold their own. Slices come traditional or contemporary, and the kitchen leans into cocktail pairings with some conviction. Relaxed but put-together, the kind of place that takes pizza seriously without taking itself too seriously.
-
Rank 7. Roco’s Lab
Contemporary Pizza
The format here splits between slices and full sharing courses built for the whole table, which gives this Salò-area pizza spot an easy, convivial feel that leans more Brooklyn than Brescia. The doughs are light and airy without being fussy about it, and the toppings are restrained enough that you actually taste them. The room goes industrial and bright. The Bufalina is the one regulars tend to point at.
-
Near the Teatro Municipale, this pizzeria channels southern Italian technique through a northern Italian lens, with a dough the kitchen clearly obsesses over. The menu travels the peninsula for regional combinations that rarely make it outside their home towns, like a Rossini pizza dressed with a custom mayonnaise and caper-dusted eggs. Seasonal toppings, territorial pride, and a tall, pillowy crust that holds up under all of it.
-
Rank 9. Rustichel
Neapolitan Pizza
A lakeside pizzeria on the shores of Lake Garda, Rustichel pairs Neapolitan-style pies with a view that does most of the decorating. The pizzas lean into quality ingredients, and the fried pizzini make a strong case for starting before you start. Grilled pizza rounds out the options for anyone feeling experimental. The wine list runs deep, which for a pizza spot is a pleasant surprise.
-
Rank 10. Scugnizzo – Vincenzo Nese
Neapolitan Pizza
Neapolitan pizza planted firmly in Oltrepò Pavese wine country, which is either a bold statement or proof that great dough travels. This is a classic sit-down pizzeria where the chef's obsession runs to certified regional ingredients and long-fermented, easy-on-the-stomach crusts. The room is warm and the service knows the menu cold. A 50 Top Pizza Italy recognition for excellent pizzerias puts it on the map for the pilgrimage crowd.
-
A wood-fired oven built by Neapolitan artisans anchors the room at this Verona pizzeria, surrounded by hand-painted Vietri ceramics and the low hum of regulars who clearly never left. The dough ferments for 72 hours, which gives the crust that particular lightness that makes you eat more than you planned. Seasonal specials sit alongside the classics, and the desserts, including a millefoglie from celebrated local chef Giancarlo Perbellini, are not an afterthought.
-
A Neapolitan-style pizzeria in Melegnano's old center, where the dough gets the obsessive treatment: long leavening, DOP-certified toppings, and a crust that holds together even cold. The menu is short, which is usually a good sign. Seasonal specials rotate in alongside the regulars, and the artisanal draft beer list is taken as seriously as the pizza. Quick, young staff keep things moving at a pace that feels deliberate rather than rushed.
-
Rank 13. Donatelli 3011
Italian Pizza
A pizza restaurant in San Giovanni Lupatoto that takes its crust seriously enough to offer a dedicated sauce menu for dipping the leftovers, which says something about confidence. The interior leans industrial chic with soft lighting, giving it more metropolitan energy than the address might suggest. Toppings run from a straightforward Margherita to combinations involving gin tonic, and the kitchen makes everything fresh. Named on 50 Top Pizza Italy's Excellent Pizzerias list.
-
Rank 14. Centro
Contemporary Pizza
A pizza spot in Broni that names its tuna pie "Don't cry, Tuna soon!" and commits to that energy throughout. The room is modern and informal, bold colors against clean lines, and the menu leans into contemporary pizza with a serious eye on sourcing. Traditional desserts and a solid wine and cocktail list round things out, and the staff seem to have genuinely been briefed on hospitality, which in this context is worth noting.
-
Rank 15. Nasti dal 1967
Campanian Pizza
A pizza spot in Bergamo that has been blending Neapolitan roots with Lombardy's pantry for what feels like forever. The dough program runs from classic sourdough rounds to alternative-grain options and something called "corn clouds," which sounds like a weather event but apparently lands light on the plate. The wine list is serious, and the adjacent wine bar next door handles aperitivo and nightcaps for those who want to stretch the evening.
