Sant'Ambrogio's standard pizzeria
Il Pizzaiuolo
Why locals love it
This is hands-down one of the best pizzerias in Florence, tucked on an unassuming street right around the corner from the lively piazza Sant'Ambrogio, an off-the-tourist-track nightlife destination. The restaurant is a favorite among families, 20-somethings and even the elderly. After 9pm you can always expect a mostly local crowd.
Why you should visit it
The pizza is to die for, plain and simple. Try a classic like "Diavolo" (spicy salami with mozzarella cheese and olives) or get adventurous with a melt-in-your-mouth burrata pizza. It's also in the perfect position for an evening out—you can grab pre-dinner drinks in Sant'Ambrogio square around the corner, dine here, then hit neighborhood bars.
Special tip
With most pizzerias you don't necessarily need to call ahead... but with this one you should!
