Café Milano Pizzeria adheres to the tried and true tradition of using only a brick oven to bake its pizza. Brick ovens intensify the flavor of a properly cooked pizza. At Café Milano, ingredients are imported from the Old World. The owners have more than thirty years experience in Italy of delivering up authentic pizza. The restaurant may very well have the largest pizza menu in the Bay area, with more than 30 types from which to select.

Café Milano is closer to a more upscale experience than a mere pizzeria. For example, the establishment boasts magnificent salad creations such as the Insalata Fantasia consisting of Romaine lettuce tossed in an Italian Vinaigrette with plum tomatoes, provolone cheese, broccoli, red onion, pepperoncini, garbanzo beans, roasted red peppers and croutons. Pasta selections include Spaghetti Al Pomodoro, Spaghetti Al Salmone and more. Also serves sandwiches and desserts.

Café Milano in Clearwater, owned by Ugo Moi, is more than just a pizzeria because Ugo is more than a chef.  You will love the tasty crispy-crusted pizzas fresh from the brick oven with their imaginative ingredients and Italian tastes.  If you look up you will soak in the beauty of a mural of an Italian town – bright white buildings that lead down to a blue-green sea speckled with sunshine. This is the work of the owner himself, because, as it turns out, Ugo is a professional oil painter as well as a fine pizza chef. Enjoy!  Cafe Milano 105 N Fort Harrison Ave. Clearwater

Cafe Milano – Authentic Italian Pizza

Cuisine: Italian, Pizza Cafe Milano aims for truly rustic and authentic flavors. The pizza’s texture feels and tastes of hard brick and wood fire; its crispness and char are shaped unevenly by human fingers and real flame. Toppings combine imaginative ingredients with strong and genuine Italian tastes. Capers, big slices of eggplant and artichokes aim for regional themes. 105 N Fort Harrison Ave., Clearwater.
