Pizza restaurants in Prague

  1. A

    Capua

    This corner restaurant just above Strossmayerovo náměstí is widely considered the best pizza place in the neighbourhood, and even the food editor of the Prague Post listed it in the city’s ‘top four’ in a 2007 pizza run-off. But in truth, it’s only good, not great. The inviting interior is divided into two rooms, with nonsmokers getting the larger and nicer one to the right. The pizzas are thin-crust and follow the usual formula of Italian combinations. ‘Capriccioso’ is a filling mix of ham and fresh mushrooms. There’s a shaded terrace out the front in nice weather.

    Pizzeria Kmotra

    One of Prague’s oldest and best pizzerias, ‘the Godmother’ can rustle up more than two dozen varieties of pizza, from margherita to marinara, cooked in a genuine wood-fired pizza oven. Sit beside the bar upstairs, or head down to the basement where you can watch the chef slinging pizza dough in the open kitchen – both areas are nonsmoking. It gets busy here after 8pm, so try to snag a table before then.

    Pizzeria Grosseto

    This bustling Vinohrady pizzeria, just off Náměstí Míru, serves very good pizzas, with inventive toppings such as asparagus and ricotta cheese, as well as homemade pastas and original desserts. Too often in Prague, pizzas come only with standard toppings like ham or mushrooms – but not here. The garden terrace at the back is a secluded gem and something of a local secret. To find it, walk left past the front entrance in the direction of Francouzská and through a small passageway to the right.

    Pizzeria Grosseto

    This is a lively, friendly pizzeria with a genuine, wood-fired pizza oven that pulls in crowds of students from the nearby university campus. As well as a huge choice of tasty pizza varieties, the menu also offers salads, pastas, risotto, roast chicken, steak and grilled salmon. The main dining room, where you can watch the pizza chefs twirling their dough, is complemented by an attractive timber-decked conservatory out the back.

    Corte di Angelo

    Another decent pizza option in the Anděl area, this one goes for a kind of ‘Wild West’ motif. The main draws here are good thin-crust pizza from a wood-fired oven, decent starters like beef carpaccio and a pleasant terrace situated off the street in a small courtyard. It also operates the adjacent, street-side Caffe Gallerie, with excellent Illy espresso and a handy row of tables for people-watching.

    Pizzeria Corleone

    This lively neighbourhood restaurant is arguably the best pizza option in Smíchov. The wood-fired pizza oven turns out all the classics, from margherita to moscardina, and also allows you to choose your own toppings. The dining room shows a taste for the art of Jack Vettriano, whose paintings are reproduced in large murals. There’s a nonsmoking area in the basement.

    Lucky Luciano

    This little pizzeria serves very good pizza, as well as traditional Italian appetisers such as beef carpaccio and insalata caprese. The service is friendly, and the best part of all is the big tree-covered terrace in the front – a nice, cool spot to chill out on a hot summer day.
