The story
Panificio Morgantini is a no-frills bakery in Milan that, as local creator Franchino Er Criminale puts it, is "ugly but good." He praises its pizza slices as excellent despite the unappealing look, capturing the essence of a true hole-in-the-wall spot where substance trumps style. With a 4.4-star rating, this bakery earns its reputation through honest, well-executed baked goods rather than polished presentation.
Every dish Franchino sampled earned a thumbs-up: the Trancio con Gorgonzola, Focaccina Margherita, Pizza con Pancetta e Formaggio, along with a Brioche and a Crostatina. For a bakery that doesn't try to look pretty, its menu clearly delivers on flavor, making it a solid local spot for a quick, satisfying bite in the city.

An ugly but good bakery, with excellent pizza slices despite the unappealing look.
Dishes mentioned
Trancio con Gorgonzola
This is a slice with Gorgonzola. Very soft, it's a soft pizza al taglio with Gorgonzola on top. Looking at the dough I wouldn't have given it a dime, but it's good. I need to understand if it's the dough that's good or the Gorgonzola that gives it a huge push. The pizza is very good, and looking at it it has all those things that make me say you're not good, heavy, overcooked. Dense white dough, but it melts in your mouth. It's flavorful.
- Focaccia
Pizza con Pancetta e Formaggio
This one has pancetta and cheese. Look at the dough, how dense. It's heavy, when I pick up a pizza like this I think oh my god, but then you eat it and it's good, partly for the toppings, partly because the dough melts in your mouth. The final taste is good. Top ingredients.
Brioche
This is a brioche, I think made by them. It's a bit undercooked here, a bit hard. The soft part over there.
Crostatina
Beautiful, well baked. I was only afraid of the jam. I feared worse, but the jam is decent. The pastry is very good, hard as I like it, well baked.
