Also, sometimes you have what I call a &#8220;<strong>stupid line<\/strong>&#8221; which means people see a single line and queue up without realizing that you can go in either door and order (other door not visible in picture), and there is even a nice little sign on the other door saying &#8220;Order here&#8221; which the &#8220;stupid line&#8221; tends to ignore. So if you&#8217;re faced with a single &#8220;stupid&#8221; line, make sure you pop in the other door and order straight away.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;d rather have the line than a second location and then the quality becomes suspect and you have decide which location to &#8220;favor.&#8221; Though I hear tell that the quality &#8220;has gone down in recent years,&#8221; they are quite good to me!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a title=\"Photo Sharing\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/msadventuresinitaly\/350159747\/\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/farm1.static.flickr.com\/151\/350159747_0bce9a67ba.jpg?resize=500%2C375\" alt=\"Panzerotto\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>A <em>panzerotto<\/em> is simply a pocket of pizza dough filled with tomatoes and mozzarella cheese, which is then closed and deep-fried. I have seen some mentions of <em>panzerotti<\/em> as &#8220;pizzas folded in half and fried&#8221; which is not correct. First of all, you are not holding a half of a pizza in your hands, it is much smaller. In fact, Luini&#8217;s are considered on the large side. The traditional panzerotto has only tomatoes and cheese inside or else there is commonly a <em>prosciutto cotto<\/em> (ham) &amp; cheese version. Anything beyond that are more &#8220;specialist&#8221; panzerotti and you won&#8217;t find them everywhere, though they do exist &#8211; salami, mushrooms, pistachios are all popular fillings. There are even dessert panzerotti!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a title=\"Photo Sharing\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/msadventuresinitaly\/350159805\/\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/farm1.static.flickr.com\/136\/350159805_32d306b075.jpg?resize=500%2C375\" alt=\"The Panzerotto\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Luini makes tons of the traditional <em>pomodoro e mozzarella<\/em> version, and since they are constantly baking, I have never encountered a cold one, and usually get lucky as a steaming hot batch comes out from the back. With the other specialist versions, less requested and therefore less frequently made, you may run the risk of a lukewarm, yet delicious panzerotto.<\/p>\n<p>There are also &#8220;baked&#8221; versions of panzerotti (not at Luini) which are also good and may be more attractive to those on a diet&#8230;.but then they start to approach the realm of a <em><a href=\"http:\/\/\">Calzone<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a title=\"Inside the Panzerotto by MsAdventuresinItaly, on Flickr\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/msadventuresinitaly\/350159855\/\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/farm1.static.flickr.com\/150\/350159855_3702da7270.jpg?resize=500%2C375\" alt=\"Inside the Panzerotto\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>This is one of my favorite stops and it is literally feet from the <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Duomo_di_Milano\">Duomo<\/a> &#8211; a nice snack to keep you going if you don&#8217;t want to sit down and eat at one of the overpriced, touristy restaurants in that area!<\/p>\n<p>Check out their site for a map and more information:<br \/>\n<strong>Panificio F.lli Luini<\/strong> &#8211; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.luini.it\/\">www.luini.it<\/a> &#8211; Via Radegonda, 16, Milan<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[Photos] Make photo mosaics with Flickr photos using Mosaickr!
