Pizzeria Spera Firenze — Restaurant in Florence

I was in Italy for over a week & ate pizza everyday, often twice, each time at a different place. This was by far my favorite & the best. They have a huge variety of pizzas that are made quickly with fresh, delicious ingredients. If you get take away you can see them being prepared. I got 3 pizzas, upon their recommendation I got their house special, it's apparently what they're known for, it's 4 different pizzas in one circle of deliciousness. All pizzas are on their website with pictures, check it out. Plus, this place is very reasonably priced for pizza & beer. A must try when...

You could see it was well made with good ingredients. 2 pizzas and 2 sparkling water for €20...

This was my second visit to Spera, the last one being about 9 years ago. It has a reputation in Florence for its thick-crusted pizza and for the talented female pizzaiola who makes it.

The Champ, although made with ingredients I like, was not to my tastes at all... maybe too much Parmesan? The Sud was fabulous. The pizzas are thick, very doughy and too filling. It will probably be another 9 years or...
