The story
At Torino’s Panificio Brange, the split between sweet and savory is stark. Reviewer Franchino Er Criminale calls the pizza “terrible” while rating the pastries a solid “8 minus”—a near-excellent score undermined by inconsistency. The bakery’s reputation rests almost entirely on its dolci.
Among the sweets that earned the higher marks: a Fagottino di Frolla con Ricotta e Canditi, a buttery Croissant Burroso, and a Sfoglia con Crema al Limone e Mele. But the Pizza Rossa con Mozzarella e Olive fell flat. “Inconsistent quality” is the takeaway—a place to trust for pastry, not pizza.

A bakery where the savory items (pizza) are terrible, but the sweets are good — around 8 minus. Inconsistent quality.
Dishes mentioned
Pizza Rossa con Mozzarella e Olive
This is not edible. It's dry, looks like it's from yesterday — it doesn't even tear properly. Not good at all.
Fagottino di Frolla con Ricotta e Canditi
This looks better — the pastry is good. If you like candied fruit, it's nice. The sweets here are a different league from the savory items.
- Croissant
Sfoglia con Crema al Limone e Mele
The color of the cream is beautiful, the pastry is nice, there are apples on top. The cream is good — lemon cream, very good. The apple is good. Sweets are around 8 minus — solid.
