A Serious Slice in Bussolengo

Sitting on via Dante Alighieri in the heart of Bussolengo, a quiet town just west of Verona, Pizza & Birra has built a reputation solid enough to earn 2 Slices from Gambero Rosso – Italy's most authoritative food guide – in its 2022 pizza rankings. That recognition places it among the most consistent pizzerias in the Veneto region, a meaningful distinction in a country where the bar for great pizza is set exceptionally high.

What the Recognition Says

Gambero Rosso's Slices rating evaluates dough quality, ingredient sourcing, baking technique and overall value. Reaching the 2-Slice mark signals a pizzeria that goes well beyond the ordinary – one where the craft of pizza-making is taken seriously. For locals and visitors passing through the Lake Garda area, Pizza & Birra offers a dependable, quality-driven stop that the guide's editors found worth flagging year after year.

Worth the Detour

Bussolengo sits at a convenient crossroads between Verona, Lake Garda and the Valpolicella wine country, making Pizza & Birra a natural choice after a day of exploring the area. The name says it plainly – pizza and beer – and that straightforward honesty appears to be part of the appeal. No pretension, just well-made pizza in a town that appreciates the real thing.
