The story
Panificio San Giorgio, a pastry shop on Via Ponte Seveso near Milan’s Centrale station, earns a solid 4.6-star average from the community. Local creator Franchino Er Criminale calls it “a good bakery with excellent savory options,” singling out the brioche fillings and the focaccia. He gives it an 8 out of 10, but warns of slow service and a serious misstep: “they pulled a trick giving me an old pastry.”
The savory side shines here—dishes like the Pan Brioche Ripieno di Zucchine e Salsiccia Piccante and the Trancio di Pizza Broccoli e Salsiccia are highlighted—while the Crostatina and Sfoglia con le Mele round out the pastry case. Still, Franchino notes that a nearby spot “doesn’t play games” and edges ahead. Worth a visit for the food, but keep your eyes peeled for freshness.

AI summary of what 5 dish mentions say about the food
Panificio San Giorgio’s Crostatina is the undisputed star, earning raves for its buttery, jammy perfection. The overall vibe is one of humble, soulful satisfaction, a true taste of Roman tradition.
“The shortcrust pastry is quite hard as I like it, well-baked. But the jam is that industrial sugary stuff. The pastry is a bit too crumbly for my taste. Personal preference though.”

A good bakery with excellent savory options like the brioche, but the service is slow and they pulled a trick giving me an old pastry. Score 8, but the other place nearby is better because they don't play games.
Dishes mentioned
Trancio di Pizza Broccoli e Salsiccia
This slice of pizza with broccoli and sausage is well-seasoned, lots of topping. The dough I can't quite figure out, but it's a solid 8 slice — very good.
Pan Brioche Ripieno di Zucchine e Salsiccia Piccante
This brioche bun stuffed with zucchini and spicy sausage — wow, it brought me back to Sicily. The spicy salami really kicks. The brioche is very good too. Very, very good — people who know what they're doing. This is 9-level stuff.
- Focaccia
Crostatina
The shortcrust pastry is quite hard as I like it, well-baked. But the jam is that industrial sugary stuff. The pastry is a bit too crumbly for my taste. Personal preference though.
Sfoglia con le Mele
This apple pastry was a disappointment. They had beautiful ones on display — tall, well-layered, nice colour — but they gave me the old one from the back, which was low, the apples on top were shriveled, and the bottom was soggy and falling apart. It had a few hours too many. I'm purging the score because of this trick — they show you the good ones and give you the old one. That's the game they play.
