The story
At Pizzeria Al Bagno di Nerone, tradition takes the spotlight. Tucked away in Pisa, this no-frills spot specializes in the city's iconic pizza pisana and cecina, a chickpea flatbread. The crust is pan-fried rather than baked, giving it a distinctive crunch, and the anchovy-forward toppings deliver bold, savory flavor. Francesco Zini, a local creator, visited for the first time to try the pizza pisana, noting the generous portions and excellent value. It's the kind of place where authenticity and price point come together seamlessly.
For those seeking a genuine taste of Pisan street food, this is a worthy stop. The menu stays true to tradition—no fusion, no frills—and the warm, efficient service keeps locals coming back. Whether you're grabbing a quick cecina or sitting down for a full pizza, the quality is consistent. As Zini observed, the experience is simple, satisfying, and unmistakably local.

Cecina
This cecina is a masterpiece. Creamy on the inside and super crunchy on the outside. It's the traditional starter before the pizza pisana, and it's a new experience even for me.
Pizza Pisana
The pizza pisana is a specific flavor: red base with a layer of anchovies and parmesan. It's a sort of pan pizza, but thicker, all stained with tomato and covered in parmesan. The base gets a almost fried cooking in the pan that gives it a nice crunch without being burnt. Then that constant flavor of anchovies with caper at every bite drives me crazy. Final bill €14. Really a great experience.
