Pizzeria Scugnizzo Cuneo
About
Pizzeria Scugnizzo in Cuneo is a family‑run brick‑and‑mortar that has been serving wood‑fired Neapolitan‑style pizza since 1979. The restaurant specialises in the traditional *Metodo Tramontino* – a fast‑baked, high‑heat technique that delivers a puffy, lightly charred crust topped with fresh, locally sourced ingredients. The menu balances classic pizza flavours with a wide range of seafood, pasta and vegetarian options, including gluten‑free dough and vegan toppings. Guests can dine inside a cosy, rustic‑themed space or enjoy the laid‑back atmosphere on the outdoor terrace that offers views of the town’s historic centre. With a strong commitment to quality and hospitality, Scugnizzo is a favourite spot for locals and travellers alike, earning praise for friendly service and genuinely authentic pizza. The restaurant is open from noon to 2 pm for lunch and from 6:30 pm to 11:45 pm for dinner, every day except Monday (closed). Reservations can be made via the website or by phone, though guests can also get a table on a walk‑in basis during less busy hours. The feel of the place is relaxed, family‑friendly, yet sophisticated enough for date nights or business lunches. The venue prides itself on seasonal pizza specials that change with the harvest; the latest additions include “Santa Cecilia”, “Margarita Corbarina” and “Tranquilla”, offering adventurous flavour profiles that keep regulars coming back. With its soulful wood‑fired oven, generous menu variety, and warm service, Pizzeria Scugnizzo stands out as an essential culinary stop for anyone exploring Cuneo.
