Discover the best pizza in Portugal

Pizza in Portugal is a small, focused scene, and almost all of the serious wood-fired rooms sit in Lisbon. It is a recent arrival, built over the last decade by pizzaioli who trained in Naples or worked the Italian rooms of other European capitals first.

The dominant style across our coverage is Neapolitan, a soft, blistered pie baked in a wood oven in under 90 seconds. The rooms are few but the standard is high, since a small scene lives or dies on word of mouth rather than foot traffic.

Lisbon anchors the country's pizza map, with most spots in the Príncipe Real, Santos, and Cais do Sodré areas. The most popular pizzeria in Portugal by review volume is Come Prima.

Prices read fair. A margherita usually lands between 9 and 13 euros at a wood-fired spot. Most rooms are walk-in outside peak hours. The spots ranked here are ranked by what people who came for the pizza actually thought, not by which terrace had the river view.
