Spacca

Spacca is a fast-food restaurant concept that launched in Bergamo, Italy, founded by entrepreneurial brothers Alex and Manuel Lucon. The business opened shortly before the COVID-19 lockdown measures were implemented in the region. Despite the challenging timing, the founders persevered, initially operating with takeaway and delivery services before opening for in-person dining.

The core offering is the "spacca," a crispy focaccia that resembles a pizza but is folded like a piadina, creating a portable, sandwich-like meal. The business model focuses on providing a quick and versatile food option suitable for lunch, dinner, or a snack. Revenue is generated through direct sales to consumers via their physical location and online ordering for delivery and takeout. The delivery fleet consists of electric motorcycles, reflecting an attention to environmental considerations, which extends to the use of plastic-free, recyclable cutlery and glasses.

Spacca's menu is designed to cater to a broad range of dietary needs and preferences. It features a variety of fillings, including meat, seafood, and vegetarian options. Notably, the restaurant offers certified gluten-free (AIC), vegan (including vegan mozzarella), wholemeal, and lactose-free products to serve a wide client base. Beyond its signature item, the menu includes a selection of fried foods such as speck and smoked provola sticks, nuggets, and french fries.
