For the ultimate Leccese street food experience, look no further than Pizza&Co. You can order personal or family sized pizzas until it gets busy (which it does, every night), after which you’ll be grateful for a giant slice of whatever creation has just come out of the oven. The brainchild of two charming brothers from Napoli, Maurizio and Paolo Ortona, watching them in action is to witness genuine love for their culture along with the pleasure that comes from providing customers, who instantly become friends, with great food.

No visit is complete without trying Pizza&Co, celebrated for its authentic pizzas, ensuring you experience the true taste of Italy. Also, don’t skip L'angolino di Via Matteoti, where you can savor savory puccia, a local sandwich that’s beloved by locals and tourists alike. Make sure to check out the longer list of recommendations on my blog, wanderein.com, for more culinary gems in this beautiful Italian city!

Se non bastasse la pizza, bella morbida col cornicione e farcita in stile Napoli food porn, ci sono anche le maschere di Pulcinella in tutto il Pizza&Co a dimostrarne la provenienza: qui si mangia una pizza napoletana verace, senza fronzoli e senza compromessi. Quella della casa è servita in versione grande, da condividere con gli amici a spicchi, nei tavoloni all’esterno del locale

…I also want to assert that this is a fantastic pizzeria, that I visit often and I am not slagging it off at all. Other than my semantics about dough (which I realise for many are boring and tiresome) they are obviously as Italian as it gets. The ingredients are excellent and are always fresh (the pizzeria is always busy and they never make pizzas too far in advance).

A pizzeria that serves by the slice, Pizza & Co make round Neapolitan pizzas and sell big slices, perfect for a light lunch when exploring the city. You can choose what’s on the counter or pick from the menu, and they will cook it to order. Whole pizzas can be ordered too, with toppings including Margherita, feta and olives and Burrata.

No trip to Italy is complete without a perfect pizza, and Pizza & Co delivers just that. While Lecce is known for its unique Salentine cuisine, this pizzeria brings a taste of Neapolitan tradition to the city. With its crispy crust and flavorful toppings, Pizza & Co is a great option for those craving a classic Italian favorite.

Pizza&Co undoubtedly serves the finest pizza in Lecce's old town. The slices are generously large; they say that most people typically have two slices each, the two of us found that we could only manage to share three slices. The restaurant offers both indoor and outdoor seating, creating a relaxed atmosphere.

Pizza & Co is the place we ate at most during our month in Lecce—their pizza is some of the best we’ve had in all of Italy. They serve pizza by the slice, but unusually it’s not the typical thick crust squares cut into chunks. Instead, they make massive round Neapolitan style pizzas and sell big slices.

If you’re searching for budget-friendly yet satisfying food options in Lecce, look no further than Pizza&Co. Here, you’ll find generously-sized, round pizzas that are sold by the slice. Indulge in their delicious offerings without breaking the bank.

Hands down the best pizza we had in our entire trip was at Pizza & Co, a small family business in Lecce which serves heaven by the slice. Brothers Maurizio and Paolo, the masterminds behind Pizza & Co, come from Naples.

For life-changing pizza in a casual setting (it's sold by the slice) you must go to Pizza & Co. Do not leave Lecce without trying the Scarpariello pizza!. They also shockingly have a vegan option!

Se siete desiderodi di provarla, non esitate ad andare da Pizza&co., la migliore pizzeria al taglio e da asporto nel pieno centro della città.
