Step
into
the
heart
of
Athens
and
immerse
yourself
in
the
authentic
flavors
of
Italy
at
Piadina
Lumbro,
a
pizzeria
that
aims
to
showcase
the
true
essence
of
100%
original
Italian
food.
Since
its
inception
in
January
2018,
Michele
Dominici,
driven
by
a
passion
for
authenticity,
envisioned
a
place
that
would
exemplify
Italian
culinary
traditions
in
the
vibrant
Greek
capital.
Teaming
up
with
Marco
Zenaboni,
the
esteemed
"pizza
maestro,"
Piadina
Lumbro
has
become
a
haven
for
those
seeking
the
genuine
taste
of
Napoli
pizza.
Zenaboni,
the
sole
practitioner
of
this
craft
in
Athens,
has
unlocked
the
secret
to
creating
the
perfect
Italian
pizza—the
dough.
The
result
is
a
pizza
that
transports
your
taste
buds
to
the
bustling
pizzerias
of
Naples,
where
tradition
and
technique
intertwine.
To
maintain
the
utmost
authenticity,
Piadina
Lumbro
sources
all
its
ingredients
directly
from
trusted
Italian
suppliers.
This
commitment
to
quality
ensures
that
every
bite
takes
you
on
a
culinary
journey
through
Italy,
one
mouthwatering
flavor
at
a
time.
As
you
step
inside,
you'll
be
greeted
by
the
Neo-style
Italian
tavern
ambiance—a
delightful
blend
of
modern
and
vintage
aesthetics
that
sets
the
stage
for
a
memorable
dining
experience.
During
our
visit,
we
had
the
pleasure
of
indulging
in
a
selection
of
pizzas
that
left
an
indelible
mark
on
our
palates.
One
standout
was
the
"LA
NDUJA,"
a
co-star
dish
that
combined
the
richness
of
mozzarella
and
gorgonzola
with
the
tantalizing
heat
of
nduja
sauce—a
spicy
paste
made
from
pork
and
chili.
Each
bite,
complemented
by
the
freshness
of
cherry
tomatoes
and
fragrant
basil,
was
a
revelation.
Another
star
of
the
night
was
the
"SALSICCIA
FRIARIELLI,"
a
pizza
that
captivated
our
senses
with
its
medley
of
flavors.
The
combination
of
mozzarella,
provola
cheese,
salsiccia
sausage,
and
rapini
created
a
harmony
of
tastes
that
danced
on
our
tongues.
The
"CARCIOFA"
pizza
boasted
a
symphony
of
ingredients,
including
fresh
mushrooms,
prosciutto
cotto,
artichokes,
and
black
olives.
This
delightful
combination,
complemented
by
their
unique
tomato
sauce,
showcased
Piadina
Lumbro's
dedication
to
delivering
an
extraordinary
culinary
experience.
While
the
"CAPRICCIOSA"
pizza
lacked
a
touch
of
saltiness,
its
medley
of
tomato
sauce,
mozzarella,
fresh
mushrooms,
bacon,
prosciutto
cotto,
and
green
pepper
still
delighted
our
taste
buds.
To
accompany
our
pizzas,
we
indulged
in
a
selection
of
Spritz
cocktails,
each
crafted
to
perfection
and
offering
a
refreshing
and
complementary
accompaniment
to
our
flavorful
feast.
Though
the
service
was
slightly
slow
due
to
a
full
house
and
limited
staffing,
our
one
dedicated
waitress
impressed
us
with
her
sweetness
and
helpfulness.
Despite
the
challenges,
she
made
every
effort
to
ensure
our
dining
experience
was
enjoyable.
In
conclusion,
Piadina
Lumbro
is
a
true
haven
for
pizza
enthusiasts
and
lovers
of
Italian
cuisine
in
the
heart
of
Athens.
With
their
extreme-tasting
pizzas,
unique
ingredients,
and
star-worthy
tomato
sauce,
this
pizzeria
delivers
a
culinary
journey
that
transports
you
to
the
vibrant
streets
of
Italy.
Allow
yourself
to
be
captivated
by
the
flavors
and
warmth
that
emanate
from
this
charming
establishment—a
destination
where
authenticity
and
passion
for
food
shine
through
in
every
bite.
