Pizza from Napoli in Milan

Back in the fall, Caitlin and I went to check out a pizza place she had read about online.

A famous Napolitano pizza maker has opened a shop near Milan's famous Duomo.

The pizzeria, Lievito Madre al Duomo, served only 400 pizzas each night and there's a countdown outside keeping track.

They don't take reservations.

Just show up and give your name and number in your party to the person manning the door.

I'd advise you not to wait til the normal Italian dinner hour of 9:00.

I rather liked the pizza. Chewy crust, fresh toppings.

I wished we hadn't tried the arancini. I was not impressed.

Contrary to the typical Italian style of letting you linger at your table as long as you want, service here is quick to help you keep moving, so the next customers can take your spot.

So, good pizza, yes! Service...ehhhhhh...there's some room for improvement.

Lievito Madre al Duomo is located at Largo Corsia dei Servi, behind the Duomo. Walk down Corso Vittorio Emanuele and take a right down one of the smaller 'alleys' to a small back square, behind The Gap, Mango and Pull & Bear. Open at 7 pm, Monday through Saturday.
