The Best Pizza Near Apelace21, by the Record

Rank 1. Da Pietro
Wood-fired Pizza
The wood-fired oven came over from Naples, and the dough gets more than 50 hours of slow fermentation before it sees the flame. This Vinohrady pizzeria is the Prague outpost of a much-loved Pilsen original, turning out soft, airy-crusted pies with buffalo mozzarella and house-made salami. The wine list leans toward small producers, though the tables mostly seem to be ordering spritz, which feels right. Italian beers, too.

Rank 2. Sasy The Original
Neapolitan Pizza
Sitting above the main pedestrian drag in the old town, this Neapolitan pizza spot imports nearly all its ingredients from Italy and seats around eighty people in an easy, unpretentious room. The Margherita is a reliable anchor, and the calzone draws a loyal following. On a street that cycles through pizza-kebab-noodles with dizzying efficiency, the focused menu and quick, capable staff make the choice pretty simple.

The wood-fired oven turns out Neapolitan pies with that soft, slightly puffy crust, and the tomatoes and mozzarella come straight from Campania. This is a roomy, lively pizza restaurant, family-friendly enough that there's a play corner for kids. The all-you-can-eat format, where small portions of every pizza keep arriving until you wave the white flag, has made it one of the more talked-about spots in Prague. It ranked 30th on 50 Top Pizza Europe.

Rank 4. Diskotéka Pizza
Neapolitan Pizza
A silver oven shaped like a disco ball anchors the room at this Neapolitan-style pizza spot in Dejvice, which doubles as a DJ venue on certain nights and leans heavily on takeout. The two Italian pizza makers behind it work sourdough in both classic and creative directions. The wine and beer list is short, the tiramisù is not.
