A Cagliari boy transplanted to Milan, a Pavia guy met at university, and one shared idea: bring real Cagliari-style pizza al taglio to Milan, exactly as you'd find it back on the island. Francesco Carboni and Andrea De Dominicis had two options: keep talking about it, or actually do it. They went with the second one.
From a kitchen on Via Melchiorre Gioia to three stores across Milan
Sa Pizzedda started in 2024 as a cloud kitchen on Via Melchiorre Gioia. Delivery and takeaway only, with one promise: bring the real Cagliari-style pizza al taglio to a Milan that had never tried it. Crispy dough, baked in tray — and then the gesture that makes it recognizable: folded in half, like a wallet, made to be eaten on the move. Just like in Casteddu.
“Three pizzedde make a regular pizza. But you rarely make it to the fourth.”
Joe Bastianich, Foodish, and the (almost) t-shirt
In May 2025, Joe Bastianich tastes a Sa Pizzedda on Foodish, broadcast on Sky and TV8. Just a few words: "the best pizza al taglio in Milan." We didn't make that up. We almost printed it on a t-shirt. (Almost.)
The numbers, for those who love proof
- 500,000+ pizzedde sold in 2025
- 4.7★ average on Google, with 1,000+ reviews
- 3 stores in Milan: Solari, Porta Ticinese, Porta Venezia
- Joe Bastianich's award as best pizza al taglio in Milan
The crunch — and an obsession with Sardinian supply
Every pizzedda starts the same way: a crispy base, tomato, fiordilatte. Then come the toppings: Sardinian sausage from Salumificio Carta, aged Sardinian pecorino, Carloforte tuna on our seasonal pizzedde. The island actually arrives in Milan.
And now: beyond Milan
In 2026 we open in Turin, Bologna, Florence and Verona. By 2028 we want to be 20 stores across Italy. Always Sardinian, always crispy, always folded in half. And yes, we're looking for passionate franchisees — if you want to bring the crunch to your city, let's talk.
