The best pizza in Prague is younger and smaller than Vienna's, but it is real: a Neapolitan spot with airy dough near the center, a proper slice counter in Holesovice, and even a Detroit-style tray out in Zizkov. Here is where to eat it.
OpenPizzaMap tracks 5176 hand-picked pizzerias across 354 cities. Prague's list is short, but the top of it is worth the trip.
What Prague's pizza looks like
The city's best is Neapolitan, wood-fired and airy, but Prague has more range than its size suggests. There is a New York-style slice counter, and a Detroit-style tray with the caramelized cheese edge, both rare finds this far from the coast.
The shortlist
Sasy The Original is the anchor. On Na Prikope 391/7 in the center, it turns out a Neapolitan round with an airy, blistered crust, and it is the most-reviewed pizza in the city, holding a 4.7 across more than 2,200 Google ratings.

Outstanding bread and pizza, especially Neapolitan style with airy crust and quality ingredients. Tiramisu was mediocre.
Slice Slice Baby, on Delnicka 19 in Holesovice, is the city's slice counter, a New York-leaning spot at 4.5 across more than 500 ratings, where the loaded Honey Boo Boo pizza is the one regulars name first.

Honey Boo Boo pizza is great, with bold flavors. The Diavola was just okay, and the restaurant can be small.
Da Pietro, on Belehradska 61 in Vinohrady, holds a 4.4 across nearly 1,000 ratings, and its Quattro Formaggi di Bufala and a proper board of salumi and focaccia make it as much a trattoria as a pizzeria.

Spectacular pizza, especially the Quattro Formaggi di Bufala and Baba di Roma dessert. Service can feel a bit rushed at times.
Fasu, on Vratislavova below Vysehrad, works a careful Neapolitan round in a small room that fills fast.
Fasù

Traditional Neapolitan style with perfectly baked crust, tasty toppings, and friendly staff. Some found blue cheese in the 5-cheese pizza unexpected, and vegan pizza isn't officially on the menu.
Third Coast Pizza, on Chvalova in Zizkov, is the Detroit-style entry, a square tray with a crisp, cheesy edge that is a rare find this far east.

Traditional Detroit-style pizza with crispy crust and tons of cheese, especially the Finch. Drinks are excellent quality.
Pizza Gatto Nero, in Vinohrady, keeps its menu short and its dough sharp, a neighborhood Neapolitan that locals keep to themselves.

Perfect dough, high-quality ingredients, and excellent burrata salad. Menu is limited, but the tiramisu is highly recommended.
We ordered these by what people who came for the pizza actually thought, weighing thousands of ratings rather than the loudest single review, so a light Neapolitan base and a fair line beats the prettiest photo.
