Tip #6: Pizzaria Speranza
Pizzaria Speranza is the restaurant with the best pizza in São Paulo! What's exciting about the restaurant is that it was founded by an Italian immigrant family. So: here you can expect first-class and flavorful pizza. From Margherita to Burrata pizza, there is something on the menu for every taste.
