Best Pizza in Ravenna: Where to Eat, Slice by Slice

Best pizza in Ravenna: the short answer

Stay in the city and Al Borgo Nuovo gives you the widest choice: a pizzeria and restaurant in one, with indoor seating for up to 50, a dehors of about 40 and a summer garden of 100, so walk-ins and groups both have room. It cooks Romagna dishes in-house and runs a seven-hour ragù to a traditional Romagna recipe, which makes it the pick when half the table wants pizza and half wants a proper dinner. Its menu and reservations are on the restaurant's site.

If the pizza itself is the point, two addresses outside the centre stand out. O Fiore Mio in Faenza earned two spicchi for its pizza a degustazione in the 2021 Gambero Rosso guide to Italy's pizzerias, and Pummà in Milano Marittima took two spicchi in the same edition for its own sliced, shareable style. Treat those as 2021 history rather than a live rating, and go for the format rather than the badge.

For a Neapolitan round, Centopizze at Punta Marina is the coast option, held by the Caramiello family for around 25 years and noted in the same 2021 guide for its toppings of tomato, mozzarella and other dairy, fresh vegetables, cured meats and seafood.

How pizza in Ravenna works: Neapolitan rounds, pizza a degustazione and Romagna menus

Three formats cover most of what you will meet. A Neapolitan round is the familiar single pizza with a soft, puffy edge, eaten by one person. Pizza a degustazione is a pizza cut into slices and topped in several ways, brought to the table to share; it is closer to a tasting course than a single pie, and it is what the Gambero Rosso guide singles out at both O Fiore Mio and Pummà. The third format is the pizzeria-restaurant, where pizza shares the menu with the full Romagna kitchen.

That matters for ordering, because the two styles suit different appetites. At a pizza a degustazione place, order fewer rounds than there are people and let everyone take slices, tasting across the toppings; at a Neapolitan pizzeria, one round each is the normal rhythm. At a pizzeria-restaurant, it is entirely normal for one diner to order pizza while another orders a first course from the Romagna menu, and kitchens expect it.

Al Borgo Nuovo: pizza and Romagna home cooking under one roof

Al Borgo Nuovo sits in Ravenna and describes itself as both a pizzeria and a restaurant, with a menu built around typical Romagna cooking alongside its pizza. The dish to order if you want the kitchen's signature is the ragù, cooked for seven hours to a recipe of the Romagna tradition and served over the pasta of the day.

The room is unusually flexible for a city pizzeria: an indoor dining room with welcoming spaces for up to 50, a covered dehors seating around 40 and, in summer, a large garden with room for 100. That range suits a family lunch, a group of friends or a birthday, and it means you can pick between eating inside or outside. Takeaway is available too: the restaurant points customers to the MyFast app to order from the menu, with delivery to your door as an option.

Use the phone number or contact details on the restaurant's own site to hold a table, particularly for the garden in high summer. If you want a broader view of the city's tables before settling on pizza, the companion guide to the best restaurants in Ravenna covers the rest of the picture.

Civico 25 in Castel Bolognese: the 50 Top Pizza mention and the project behind it

Civico 25 – Il Gusto dell'Inclusione, in Castel Bolognese, was named among the fifteen Pizzerie Eccellenti of Emilia-Romagna in the 50 Top Pizza Italia 2026 guide, the only address in the province of Ravenna on that regional list. It opened on 10 May 2025 and employs 14 young people aged between 18 and 30 with various forms of disability; the kitchen and dining room double as a training ground for shifts, responsibility and dealing with customers.

Read that mention for what it is: a place on 50 Top Pizza's regional list of excellent pizzerias, judged on the pizza on the same terms as any other entry, not a star or a numerical ranking. It is a worthwhile stop if you are driving through the western edge of the province, but it is a separate trip from a dinner in Ravenna itself.

O Fiore Mio in Faenza: pizza a degustazione, cut into slices

O Fiore Mio in Faenza is built around pizza a degustazione: a pizza cut into slices and served for sharing, with good products to match, plus a round in the Neapolitan style. In the 2021 Gambero Rosso guide it took two spicchi in the pizza a degustazione category, with praise for the service as well as the pizza.

Faenza is a straightforward trip from Ravenna and a sensible pairing with a day in the ceramic town, but it is not a city-centre walk from Ravenna's mosaics. Go if the shared, sliced format is what you are after, and order a spread of toppings rather than one round each so the table can compare.

Pummà in Milano Marittima: montanarine and friggione

Pummà in Milano Marittima also took two spicchi for pizza a degustazione in the 2021 guide, and the specific things it flags are the montanarine, small fried pizzas served with six different toppings, and the friggione, a slow-cooked onion and tomato preparation from Emilia-Romagna, served here with black pepper. Order both alongside the sliced pizza; they are a good reason to choose this address over another round.

Milano Marittima is a seaside resort, so the trip works best as part of an evening on the coast rather than a quick detour from Ravenna. In summer, book ahead and expect the town to be busy; outside the season, check that the place is open before you drive over.

Centopizze in Punta Marina: the Neapolitan option on the coast

Centopizze at Punta Marina is the Neapolitan specialist of the group, run by the Caramiello family for around 25 years and awarded two spicchi in the Neapolitan category of the 2021 Gambero Rosso guide. The guide points to a broad selection of specialities: tomato, mozzarella and other dairy, fresh vegetables, cured meats and seafood, so this is the address for a classic soft-crusted round with a seafood topping.

Punta Marina is a beach suburb of Ravenna, which makes Centopizze a natural dinner after a day on the sand and an easier drive than Faenza or Milano Marittima. Family experience shows in the consistency rather than in novelty, so order a straightforward margherita or a seafood round and keep the rest of the table simple.

What to order at a Romagna pizzeria beyond the pizza

A Romagna pizzeria-restaurant is a chance to eat the region's pasta alongside your pizza, and cappelletti is a good pick: small filled pasta traditionally served in broth or with ragù. At Al Borgo Nuovo, the seven-hour ragù is the sauce to put with it.

The friggione at Pummà is the other dish worth seeking out, a slow-cooked onion and tomato preparation that shows up across Emilia-Romagna and can start a meal. Beyond that, follow the toppings: on the coast, seafood; inland, cured meats and dairy. A shared pizza a degustazione is the easiest way to try several at once without committing to a whole round.

How to order and pay: coperto and the conto

In Ravenna, as across Italy, a pizzeria bill often includes coperto, a small per-person charge for service and the table setting that appears as a line on the conto rather than in the menu prices. It is normal and not a scam; check the menu's footnote so the total does not surprise you. Ask for the conto when you are ready rather than expecting it to arrive unasked.

Order as you would anywhere in the region: choose the pizza and any starters together, and ask about fried items or shared plates if you want them before the pizza. If you want takeaway from Al Borgo Nuovo, order through the MyFast app the restaurant points to, which also offers delivery. If the bill comes to a round figure, leaving a small extra is welcome but not required.

Booking and timing a pizza dinner in Ravenna

Book for a weekend or for a group, especially for Al Borgo Nuovo's garden in summer, and choose an earlier slot if you are eating with children. For a pizza a degustazione place outside the city, book before making the drive.

Build the evening around the style you picked: a city table at Al Borgo Nuovo leaves time for a walk past the mosaics afterwards, while a coast or Faenza trip needs a car and a designated driver. If you are still deciding between pizza and the city's other tables, start with the best restaurants in Ravenna and come back here once you know you want a round.

Which pizza night should you book?

Choose Al Borgo Nuovo if you want to stay in Ravenna and need pizza plus a full Romagna menu, O Fiore Mio if the sliced, shared format is the draw, Pummà for montanarine and friggione by the sea, and Centopizze for a Neapolitan round after the beach. Civico 25 is the detour for a pizza with a training project behind it.

Whichever you pick, order the house style rather than the generic option, add one Romagna dish, and confirm the table ahead of a summer weekend.
