The Best Pizzerias in Prague
Cheapest Pizzerias in Prague
Prague is the capital of the Czech Republic and the country's only city with a serious Italian-pizza scene. Italian restaurants arrived with the city's post-1989 opening, and the pizza room of choice is now the Neapolitan wood-fired pie.
The signature style is Neapolitan, the soft-centred classic from southern Italy, baked in wood-fired ovens at high heat. Neapolitan Contemporanea shows up at a few rooms on the contemporary side, and a Roman-style slice shop sits in the old town. Origin cities: Naples and Rome.
The densest pizza neighbourhoods are Vinohrady (Praha 2/3, around Vinohradská street), Holešovice (Praha 7, around Dělnická), Žižkov (Praha 3, around Chvalova), and Nové Město (Praha 1, around Na Příkopě). Vyšehrad and Nusle each carry one strong room.
Most pizza rooms in Prague are walk-in friendly. The highest-volume places (Pizza Nuova near Revoluční, Sasy The Original on Na Příkopě) draw queues at peak hours but the rest of the metro is calm. Tourists cluster around Old Town Square; locals head to Vinohrady or Holešovice for better dough.
