Pizzeria da Salvatore
Pizzeria da Salvatore is a pizza restaurant in Verona that bakes pizzas in Neapolitan style with thick, soft dough in a wood-fired oven. The space has about 20 tables made from clear resin and recycled restaurant items like forks, knives, and bottle caps, along with a large pop art painting of a Campari bottle on the wall.
Salvatore, a Neapolitan, opened the restaurant in 1961 on Corso Portoni Borsari after settling in Verona after the war. His son Ivano later took over the business and moved it to the Veronetta area in 2000 while keeping the same craft traditions alive.
The pizzeria is named after its founder Salvatore, whose family brought authentic Neapolitan pizza traditions from Naples to Verona. The walls display black-and-white photographs of famous people and Neapolitan scenes that keep the connection to pizza culture alive for visitors today.
The restaurant does not take reservations but visitors can call for information and it is easy to find at Piazza San Tomaso. The space is air-conditioned, accessible for people with disabilities, and staff speak multiple languages including English, French, and Spanish.
Each table is a work of art made from clear resin filled with collected restaurant items like bottle caps, coffee beans, and utensils, designed by sculptor Giovanni Marconi. This handcrafted approach transforms every table into a visual piece of history.
