Tucked away on Via IV Novembre, Panzerotti Cucina Pugliese has earned a near-flawless 4.8-star rating as a spotless shrine to Southern Italian street food. This casual takeout spot specializes in “excellent fried panzerotti-style sandwiches,” as creator Giuliacrossbow noted, made with “high-quality local ingredients at a great price.” The anchor of the menu is the Panino Panzerottato con Salame Piacentino—a crisp, fried sandwich that Giuliacrossbow calls an “incredible” bite, showcasing the kitchen’s commitment to regional produce.
For a hole-in-the-wall this well-executed, the detour is well worth it. It rivals any street-food experience in Piacenza, delivering bold, authentic flavors without pretense. If you’re craving something fried, fresh, and genuinely local, this is the place.

AI summary of what 1 dish mentions say about the food
Reviewers rave about the Panino panzerottato con salame piacenti, calling it a hearty, soulful bite. The overall vibe is warm, rustic, and deeply satisfying.
“This is the panzerotto dough opened in half, filled on the spot with Piacentino salami, then fried. It looks more like a gnocco fritto than a typical Pugliese panzerotto. It's crunchy, not oily at all because the oil is at the right temperature. The salami is abundant and good quality, not too aromatic. The frying is perfect. For €5 it's an honest price for that amount of salami.”
