The Best Pizzerias in Lecce
Cheapest Pizzerias in Lecce
Lecce sits at the heart of the Salento, the tip of Italy's heel, and runs a pizza scene with the sturdier, well-fermented character common to Puglia. The baroque city is a food town first, and its pizzerias share space with the bakeries that make the region's famous savory pastries.
Neapolitan is the most common style on our map, with the regional Apulian tradition behind it, the same one that anchors Bari up the coast. The city sits under the Puglia region hub, and its rooms cluster inside and just outside the historic center.
The most popular pizzeria in the city by review volume is 400° Gradi, one of 12 we list. Lecce's baking culture runs deep, which keeps the standard on the pizza high.
Prices read low. A margherita usually lands between 5 and 9 euros. The spots ranked here are ranked by what people who came for the pizza actually thought, not by which room sat prettiest under the baroque facades.
