Orsucci

Operating since 1922, Pizzeria Orsucci is a historic Padua institution celebrated for its Tuscan-style pizza baked in round metal pans ('nel testo') for a uniquely crispy crust. In addition to its signature pan pizza, the menu features traditional Tuscan fettunta and seasonal castagnaccio.

Customer reactions are split between nostalgic long-time patrons and traditional pizza enthusiasts. While many celebrate its iconic historic status and distinct preparation style, critics feel that the pan-baked pizza is overrated and unexceptional.
