What it is

Every year, in summer, the pizza and beer festival comes back. Expert pizza makers and five wood-fired ovens turn out 200 to 250 pizzas a night. Besides the pizzas there are Tuscan meat dishes, crostini, lasagne and other specialities, all to the music of the band.

In 2024 the Pizza orentanese joined the list of Tuscany’s traditional food products (Prodotti agroalimentari tradizionali).
