Pizza restaurants in Rio De Janeiro

  1. A

    Hideaway

    Aptly named, Hideaway is secreted inside a converted 19th-century house. The all-glass ceiling (with lush greenery framing the outside) and minimalist design give a contemporary polish to the place. The pizzas, made inside a wood-burning oven, are decent, and the small lounge adjoining the restaurant hosts live jazz and Música Popular Brasileira (MPB) groups.

    Capricciosa

    Inside this trendy high-end pizzeria, you’ll find tasty thin-crust pizzas made with fresh ingredients. The price is high, but the chefs – working in an open kitchen next to the brick oven – are at least generous with the toppings. Among many flavorful combinations is the signature capricciosa (ham, bacon, an egg, artichoke hearts and mushrooms).

    Alessandro e Federico

    Dominated by the wood-burning oven at center stage, this stylish two-story restaurant serves some of Ipanema’s best thin-crust pizzas. A more casual Alessandro e Federico further south on the same street has a menu of freshly made panini, salads and pastas (but no pizza), with sidewalk seating.

    Faenza

    Warmly lit, with exposed brick walls, Faenza offers an extensive lunch buffet of Brazilian dishes and a nightly all-you-can-eat pizza feast (at R$29 per person). Steaming thin-crust pizzas are brought to your table by harried waiters, and there are even dessert options (such as strawberry with Nutella).

    La Veronese

    You’ll have to stand as there’s no place to sit, but this charming snack spot is worth the extra trouble: R$3 mini pizzas with crispy crusts are heated on the spot and make a great snack (or have two and make a meal of it). Palmieres (palm-shaped cookies) make a nice dessert.
