Outstanding gluten-free and classic Neapolitan-style pizzas near Colonne di San Lorenzo; service can be brusque and policies strict, but food quality and celiac safety stand out.
Why it gets an A- for overall quality
Pizzeria Positano Milano earns its A- grade through exceptional food quality—particularly its benchmark gluten-free program and classically executed Neapolitan crust with distinctive leopard-spot char. Swift service and charming proximity to the historic columns strengthen its appeal, though inconsistent host interactions and tight seating during peaks prevent higher distinction. A reliable neighborhood favorite for serious pizza seekers, especially those seeking celiac-safe options.
Restaurant Summary
Lively and casual near the Colonne, this spot draws crowds for blistered, leopard-spotted pies and swift bakes. Service ranges from kind to curt, with strict seating rules at peaks. One diner noted, "The gluten-free base tasted like the regular dough." Expect bustle over polish. The cooking leans classic Neapolitan rather than showy tricks: elastic dough, bright tomato, real char, plus a standout gluten-free program that many celiacs call the best they found in Italy. Portions are generous, lunch deals fair, and the GF stuffed crust is a crowd-pleaser. Come for the pie, not for frills. Families do well here thanks to simple, familiar pizzas and fast pacing; kids reportedly cleared big slices. No formal kids menu mentioned, but margherita and plain toppings fit picky eaters. Outdoor curbside tables and quick service help, though peak-time time limits may rush lingering.
