The Best Pizza Near Badi, by the Record

A pizza restaurant in the pedestrian heart of Grado's old town, with tables spilling outside into the foot traffic. The menu leans contemporary Neapolitan, updated each year and pulling ingredients from both Campania and Friuli, so a Neapolitan pie might arrive topped with local scallops or black truffle. The list is long and genuinely creative, with each topping sourced and described on the menu, which the kind of place that does this either earns or doesn't.

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.

A pizzeria that arrived in this quiet Friulian town carrying the DNA of Vico Equense, on the Sorrento Coast. The dough gets a 48-hour rest before it sees any heat, and the toppings lean toward the considered end: red shrimp from Mazara, seasonal Rosa di Gorizia radicchio, a creamy burrata pizza alongside the classics. A veranda and garden keep things unhurried. On the 50 Top Pizza Italy list of Excellent Pizzerias.

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 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 Neapolitan pizza spot in Jesolo where the dining room is wrapped in plants and flowers, giving the whole thing an unexpectedly garden-party feel. The kitchen works with long leavening doughs and leans into both classic Neapolitan and stuffed varieties, with ingredient pairings that seem to have been thought about rather than inherited. Families, couples, and tables of friends all seem equally at home here, which takes some doing.
