Traditional Pizzeria in Florence, near the Duomo
The most democratic pizza in the world, baked hot and steaming—a stone's throw from the Duomo
Gourmet, Cornice, gold leaf?
Secret ingredient? Sharing!
When I discovered that Uncle Gigi also turned on the oven in the evenings to make pizza, I immediately thought: "Maybe now it'll turn out perfectly hydrated, with a very long leavening time." Then I went into the kitchen, looked at Uncle Gigi, and realized that if I'd used the word "gourmet," he'd have thrown a loaf of dough at me. Even when it comes to pizza, the philosophy here is the same as at the osteria: tradition, simplicity, and no frills.
Here pizza is made the way it used to be made in Italy.
It's the traditional pizza, the one with a fragrant crust, classic and authentic ingredients, hand-rolled and baked piping hot, so you can enjoy it with joy, without having to take a photo before taking your first bite. There's a specific reason Uncle Gigi wanted the pizzeria for dinner. He explained it to me while checking on a Margherita:
"Pizza is the most democratic thing in the world. It brings friends together, everyone agrees, and it instantly sparks a party."
