The Best Pizza Near 3 Chefs, by the Record
-
The open oven in the center of the room makes the argument before anyone sits down. Bella Napoli is a spacious, modern Neapolitan pizza restaurant on one of Riga's main streets, busy with locals and tourists who all seem to have opinions about crust. The menu splits between a classic dough and a gourmet version with a 48-hour ferment, the latter notably light and well-balanced. It landed on 50 Top Pizza Europe, which for a pizza place in Latvia is a detail worth knowing.

Rank 2. Street Pizza
New York Pizza
An open kitchen sets the pace at this New York-style pizza spot in one of Riga's quieter, more polished neighborhoods, where the room runs modern and the service tracks you without hovering. The pies lean toward an international palate rather than strict tradition, and the appetizers are taken more seriously than the name might suggest. A listing in 50 Top Pizza Europe gives you a sense of the ambition behind the casual framing.
