'O Scugnizzo brings a proper taste of Naples to Arezzo — a lively, long-running pizzeria turning out true Neapolitan pizza with puffy, charred, wood-fired crusts. It is a firm local favourite in this Tuscan hill town, the sort of buzzy, unfussy place where big tables of friends and families settle in over pizza and beer.
The kitchen sticks to the Neapolitan playbook: a blistered, pillowy cornicione, quality tomato and mozzarella, and classic toppings done well, alongside fried starters like crocchè and montanare. Portions are generous and prices fair, making it a reliably good-value night out away from Arezzo's smarter restaurants.
Local tip: It is popular, so go early or book at weekends. Start with a few Neapolitan fried bites before the pizza, and do not over-order — the pizzas are big and best eaten fresh from the oven.
