Pugi
The schiacciata benchmark of Florence, on Piazza San Marco since 1925
Reviewed by Mes Prestiges Editorial Team Last reviewed June 2026
Pugi has baked Florence's bread and schiacciata since 1925, and the queue outside its Piazza San Marco forno is mostly students and locals carrying off warm, oil-glossed slabs to eat on the square. The schiacciata alla pala, plain, grape-studded in autumn, or split and filled, is the city standard against which others are judged. A working bakery, not a showpiece.
