Spontini (Flagship)
Spontini
A local Milanese brand specializing in thick-slice pizza since 1953; this is the original flagship, offering cheap, filling meals perfect for a quick bite.
Opened on Via Spontini in 1953, this brand now has multiple locations across the city, but this is the original flagship. They do almost one thing only: pizza al trancio sold by the slice. The crust is thick and fluffy, loaded with cheese and tomato sauce, falling somewhere between a Neapolitan pizza and an American deep-dish pizza—oily, savory, and very filling. The process is simple: queue, order, pay, and eat standing up at the marble counters, as there are very few seats. A Margherita slice is about €5.7, subject to in-store pricing. Located near Corso Buenos Aires, it can be reached on foot from the Lima M1 metro station.
