Neapolitan Pizza
Neapolitan pizza inside the Casino of Neuchâtel, which is either the most unlikely or the most logical setting imaginable. The dough is made from a mix of flours, coming out light and well-aerated, and the menu runs from classic Campania pies to signature versions with a little personality. Cheeses, vegetables, and cured meats come from Italy; the meat is sourced locally. The terrace is large, the room gets lively, and the Italian staff keeps things warm.

Long-fermented dough and a rooftop in Lausanne's Flon neighborhood: Maccarò is a Neapolitan-style pizza restaurant that takes the format seriously without taking itself too seriously. The menu runs from classics to more composed pies, with a pan option that lands soft and crispy in equal measure. Italian ingredients, a considered wine list, and a room that feels built for a crowd happy to linger over the whole table rather than just the slice.
