Pizza restaurants in Brazil

  1. A

    Bráz

    Cooking up what many consider Sampa's best pizza in wood ovens, this rather upscale but always animated spot is worth the 10 to 15 minute walk from Av Paulista.

  2. B

    Scarola Pizzaria

    Good food, good service and good chope (draft beer) make for a varied clientele, from backpackers back from jungle trips to professionals pontificating on the latest opera performance. The affordable lunch spread has all the standards, including fresh grilled meats, while pizza and beer are the dinner of choice. One of the few places around that’s open late, even on Sunday.

    Pizza à Bessa

    The rodízio (all-you-can-eat) option here is implausibly cheap and the best way to try some inventive ingredients like pureed pumpkin, broccoli, and an outrageous dessert pizza with a huge scoop of ice cream. The queijo coalho and rapadura (dried sugarcane juice) pizza is a masterpiece.

    Largo das Letras

    Directly above the Largo do Guimarães bonde stop, this low-key café, bookstore and cultural spot (with capoeira classes four nights a week) has outdoor tables where neighborhood crowds enjoy decent pizzas (served from 5pm onwards). There’s live music from Wednesday to Sunday.

    Cipó Brasil

    A unanimous favorite with a jungle theme, this is a fun place for sesame-crusted pizza (the newly added pesto was a knockout) and crepes, both savory and sweet, and is a starting point for evenings out. Prepare for a wait list.

    Casa do Pensador

    Simple wood tables set up on the plaza facing Teatro Amazonas make this an easy low-key place for dinner and a beer. The menu is equally low-key, mostly pizza (including a couple veggie options) and standard rice-beans-meat dishes.

    La Pizzeria

    Italian-run pizzeria serving excellent thin-crust pizzas…and less lovely pastas and risotto in a long, atmospheric 19th-century warehouse with historic crumbling walls. For dinner, it’s the best option in the Centro Histórico.

  8. Pizza na Pedra

    Stone slab tables and tree-trunk stools create a rustic atmosphere at this pizzeria tucked away on the road leaving town. The pizzas are agreed to be the best around, and there are also tasty calzones and pastas.

    Encontras Cariocas

    This late-night pizza parlor is a good place to stop in while exploring Lapa’s music scene. You’ll find 24 pizza varieties amid old-fashioned charm – high wooden ceilings, brick walls and warm lighting.

    Pizzeria Romolo e Remo

    Serving up some of Salvador's best thin-crust pizzas, this airy pizzeria has a pleasant outdoor terrace, where crowds feast on pizza, crostini and dolci like tiramisu or panna cotta.

    Don Rafaello

    Although there's better pizza elsewhere, Don Rafaello serves up fast, decent bites that won't break the bank. Grab a seat in back for nightly jam sessions on Praça Quincas Berro d'Agua.

    Café Crème

    Crème is one of the main restaurants at Dragão do Mar, with tables out front for watching the action. The pizza rodízio (smorgasbord) is unbeatable value.

  14. L

    Macarronada Italiana

    The vast dining room and terrace are often crowded with families, feasting on pasta, pizza, seafood and grilled meats. The Italian fare is delicious, and wine flows freely.

    Lanchonete e Pizzaria Pit Stop

    A popular if somewhat sterile eatery serving decent pizzas. It has a huge wide-screen TV, so you’re sure not to miss a moment of the latest novela or soccer game.

  16. Boca do Forno

    This place serves pizzas everyone raves about in a beautiful flower-bedecked outdoor setting. Live music some nights.

    Adega Ouro Prêto

    The cavelike Adega is a great deal at lunchtime and also serves reasonable pizza four nights a week.
