In the Sicilian town of Favara, Carmelo Pistritto offers a playful twist on two regional icons: pizza and cannoli. The signature Pizza Cannolo is shaped like the classic pastry and stuffed with donkey mortadella, pistachio, and cherry tomatoes with pesto. Creator Salvo Guarneri calls it “exceptional,” and the 4.2-star rating underscores its appeal.
This casual, traditional pizzeria leans into local ingredients and technique without pretension. The cannolo shape isn’t just a gimmick—it’s a vehicle for bold Sicilian flavors, making each bite as surprising as it is satisfying. For travelers seeking something beyond the usual round pie, Carmelo Pistritto delivers a memorable, distinctly regional experience.
