From a Dream to Your Plate
Piada began with a simple yet bold idea: bring the vibrant flavors of authentic piada — the beloved flatbread-based street food of Italy's Emilia-Romagna region — to the streets of Cincinnati, Ohio. Our founders traveled through Northern Italy, learning from local artisans, tasting centuries-old recipes, and falling head-over-heels for the piada tradition.
Back home, they set out to recreate that magic using responsibly sourced, fresh-daily ingredients. No shortcuts, no compromises. Just real piada italian craftsmanship served fast, joyfully, and affordably. Over the years, we've grown into a beloved Cincinnati institution — but our heart remains the same: honest food, made with love.
