A Milan pizzeria founded by four young entrepreneurs with roots in Benevento, Campania and Puglia has entered the Gambero Rosso Pizzerie d'Italia 2027 guide with the recognition of Uno Spicchio.
The pizzeria is Origine, located at Via Thaon di Revel 7 in Milan's Isola district. The listing marks a national-level recognition for a project that presents itself with a clear southern Italian identity, with an emphasis on ingredients and culinary products from Campania and the Sannio area.
What the Gambero Rosso recognition means
Gambero Rosso rates pizzerias in its Pizzerie d'Italia guide using a one-to-three Spicchi system, applied to both round-pizza venues and pizza-by-the-slice venues. Origine received Uno Spicchio in the 2027 edition.
The 2027 edition selects 824 venues, including 112 new entries, according to Gambero Rosso's overview of the guide.
Who is behind Origine
The founding group includes Elio Barbieri, pizzaioli Italo Barsanti and Francesco Annunziata, and Gianmarco Pagnotti, who manages the dining room.
The team built the concept around southern Italian sourcing, with particular attention to Campania and Sannio products, bringing that supply chain and flavor profile to Milan.
A high-hydration dough made with seawater
Origine's distinctive technical feature is its dough: a high-hydration preparation made with filtered, certified food-grade seawater in place of added salt.
The method is central to the pizzeria's identity and is cited in both the original local report and the independent corroborating report on the Gambero Rosso recognition.
Where to find it
Origine is at Via Thaon di Revel 7, Isola, Milano. The address is confirmed by the pizzeria's official website.
Visitors looking for the Sannio-linked project in Milan can use that address as the reference point for the guide-listed venue.
What comes next
The owners are planning a second location and are developing a potential nationwide franchising project.
For now, the Gambero Rosso 2027 listing gives the Sannio-rooted pizzeria a fixed place on Italy's national pizza map, from Milan outward.
