Pizzeria Mediterranea

Pizzeria Mediterranea

Touted the best pizzeria in not only Perugia but the whole region of Umbria. Here the pizzas are cooked to order in two huge wood burning furnaces. Your pizzas arrive at your table with the smell of charred wood and smoking mozarella cheese!

The menu is incredible with a multitude of choices available. There is the famous 'Pizza Vulcano" which is shaped like a volcano, and stuffed with almost everything thinkable. It's huge and defintely enough for two people to share, the price is less than double that of two single pizzas. Lots of cheese inside that slowly flows out as "lava".

I personally do not enjoy eating here because the pizza crust is too Italian for my taste, which means it's superthink, and a little too charred. But those of you who yearn for the ultimate Italian pizza experience, consider no where else but the Mediterranea. Note that it opens at 19:30hrs nightly, but queues form an hour earlier. If you arrive late, get a queue number and return later. Why not grab a panino nearby the Fontana? The queues are expected... why not?... since people come here all the way even from Assisi and Gubbio?
