Forno Pugi

The schiacciata Florentines name first

The story

A family bakery since 1925 and, for many Florentines, the benchmark for plain schiacciata: oil-glossed, salty, sold warm by weight. Students and professors queue here all day. Buy a slab, add a few slices of salumi from a nearby deli and you have the most local lunch in the city. In autumn look for schiacciata con l'uva, a sweet flatbread baked with wine grapes.
