The Best Pizzerias in Messina
Cheapest Pizzerias 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 L’Orso, one of 8 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.

Does Messina have Sicilian-style pizza?
Messina has its own focaccia tradition, commonly built on a thick, soft base with local toppings. Our current style tags lean Neapolitan and Italian-style, so check each venue rather than assuming every room serves the city's focaccia.
Where are Messina's pizzerias located?
The current coverage is spread across the wider city rather than one tight center cluster. Use the map carefully because a Messina address can sit well north or south of the ferry terminal.
Is there pizza near Messina's ferry and cruise port?
Central Messina has pizza options, but several current listings sit outside the immediate port grid. Choose by actual walking route and departure time, not the city label alone.
Do I need to reserve a pizzeria in Messina?
Check reservations for weekend dinner and for rooms outside the center that draw destination traffic. Live hours matter too, particularly around seasonal schedules.
What is pizza al taglio?
Pizza al taglio is tray-baked pizza cut to order, useful when a ferry or train leaves little time for a full sit-down meal.
How does OpenPizzaMap rank pizza in Messina?
We rank the pizza, not which room catches the ferry crowd, carries the loudest sign, or sits closest to a postcard stop.
