3 pizzeria places in Bologna we have eaten in, sorted by editor score. All cuisines in Bologna | Pizzeria across every city.

Pizza is not Bologna's home dish, and the local form is the thick by-the-slice teglia rather than a Neapolitan round. Pizzeria Altero on Via dell'Indipendenza is the city's best-known slice counter, a quick standing stop near the centre. Panificio Zaccanti on Via San Felice rounds out the bakery-style pizza side.
