Everyone loves pizza, and for many, dinner at a pizzeria with friends is an indispensable ritual every weekend. While relying on the same restaurant helps us avoid disappointments, it’s nice to change occasionally, or at least have a go-to pizzeria in every part of the city. So here’s an article on the best pizzerias in Milan, area by area.
