The story
De Forni Pane e Panettieri, a bakery and pizza spot in Trento’s Piazza Lodron, has drawn attention from local food critic Franchino Er Criminale. In his “TRENTO criminale” video, he describes it as a good pizza place offering gourmet toppings, though he notes the prices are high for the city. The venue operates as a modern casual bakery, but it’s the pizza that earns the spotlight.
Franchino specifically highlights two dishes he enjoyed: the Pizza Rossa and the Pizza Fiori di Zucca e Alici. While he offers no grand superlatives, his approval of both suggests a solid execution. For those in Trento willing to spend a bit more, De Forni delivers on flavor, even if the value proposition isn’t for everyone.

AI summary of what 2 dish mentions say about the food
“I got a slice of the red pizza, it's a tray pizza that's been reheated in the oven, so it's definitely well-cooked. The dough looks a bit dark, maybe they use a blend with some whole wheat flour. The inside is soft, almost bread-like, which I call 'panosa'. The topping is good, but this isn't the pizza I'd go looking for. It's a solid 8, a good product with a nice topping.”

Pizza Rossa
I got a slice of the red pizza, it's a tray pizza that's been reheated in the oven, so it's definitely well-cooked. The dough looks a bit dark, maybe they use a blend with some whole wheat flour. The inside is soft, almost bread-like, which I call 'panosa'. The topping is good, but this isn't the pizza I'd go looking for. It's a solid 8, a good product with a nice topping.
Pizza Fiori di Zucca e Alici
This one with zucchini flowers and anchovies is even better in my opinion because the topping is so good it confuses all the dough flavor, but the crunchiness of the bottom layer still comes through. It's a great slice, I'd give it an 8.5, but 8+ is more appropriate because the price is really high — €4.80 for this one and €3.20 for the other, so €8 total for two slices. That's a lot, even for Trento.
