Discover the best pizza in Messina

Messina sits at the strait that separates Sicily from the mainland, the island's gateway city and the closest to Naples by sea. Its pizza scene carries both the Neapolitan template and the island's own traditions.

Neapolitan is the most common style on our map, cooked fast in a wood oven. The city sits under the Sicily region hub, alongside Catania and Palermo.

The most popular pizzeria in the city by review volume is Basilicò, one of 6 we list. Sicily runs its own thick, focaccia-style traditions alongside the round pizza, and the island's bakers know their dough.

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 caught the ferry crowd.
