Di Pizza returns with its third stop, this time dedicated to Calabria: let’s take a look at the fourteen best pizzerias on the tip of the country.
You should know it by now, but repeating yourself never hurts (too much): woe betide you if you call it a ranking. Of Pizza returns with its third stage, this time entirely dedicated to Calabriathus rewarding the fourteen pizzerias that best represent the region at this particular moment.
A few words to refresh your memory, before diving into the proverbial meat: Di Pizza, as mentioned at the beginning, is a traveling format created by Garage Pizza with the support of Disagreement which was born with the ambitious goal of giving back a photography the more precise than state-pizza of Italian cities, thus rewarding the best pizzerias from region to region.
How does the selection work?
Don’t change a winning team, as they say: in the months preceding the awards ceremony, our colleagues at Garage Pizza examined (tasted?) numerous pizzerias in the reference area, putting their face, there signature and the shoulders wide necessary to carry out a selection of this kind.
Selection, yes, and as we were saying does not classify: the goal is not at all to give substance to a rigid judgment, but rather to offer a starting point that allows readers to get to know the pizzerias that for us best capture the city or region under consideration. The goal is undoubtedly ambitious and the journey to reach it is long and full of pitfalls: which is why, to face it, we entrusted ourselves to the company of a group of partner such as Molini Pivetti, Solania Pomodoro, Bob Robotics, Emme Distribuzione and Frantoi Cutrera.
