The Best Pizza Near B-Restaurant, by the Record

Rank 1. Pop’s Pizza
Neapolitan Pizza
A golden wood-fired oven dominates the room at this two-floor Neapolitan pizza spot tucked into Ljubljana's pedestrian center, and it earns the attention. The dough ferments for 48 hours on sourdough, landing soft and light in a way that makes you understand why the Associazione Verace Pizza Napoletana handed out its certification. Cocktails are taken more seriously than you'd expect, and the tiramisu has its fans. It landed at 34 on 50 Top Pizza Europe.

Rank 3. Verace
Neapolitan Pizza
A Neapolitan-style pizza joint in Nova Gorica where the approach is old-school Naples and the room matches: lively, unfussy, a nice counter up front and an outdoor terrace that seats close to a hundred when the weather cooperates. The pizzas are traditional and carefully made, with a tiramisu at the end that earns its reputation. Named among Europe's excellent pizzerias by 50 Top Pizza, which tracks this stuff closely.

A sourdough-forward pizzeria in the center of Gorizia that bridges Campanian tradition and Friulian pantry, so you might find speck from Sauris sitting next to fiordilatte on the same pie. The room is spacious with a veranda and garden, which helps on a warm evening. The menu includes a gluten-free option, and the kitchen takes its fillings seriously enough that the sourcing does most of the talking.

A wood-fired pizza spot tucked into central Trieste, Al Civicosei builds its dough from organic type 1 flour, with whole wheat and multigrain options for the conscientious. The wine list leans heavily regional, craft beers fill the gaps, and grappa closes things out, which means this is a pizza place that takes the drinking seriously too. Desserts come from Sal De Riso, so someone here knows when to outsource.
