The Best Pizza Near Piazza Colombo, by the Record

  1. Rank 1. Piazza Colombo

    Neapolitan Pizza

    A rotating oven anchors the dining room of this Neapolitan pizza spot on the ground floor of a stately Vienna hotel. The kitchen turns out properly charred, contemporary-leaning pies with a pronounced crust, alongside a long menu of pasta for anyone whose loyalty wavers. The bar counter with stools is made for an aperitif, and Italian wines keep things appropriately themed. Listed in 50 Top Pizza Europe's Excellent Pizzerias.


  2. A Neapolitan pizza spot in Vienna's eighth district where the dough is made with three types of flour and each pie comes with a staff recommendation for which wine to drink alongside it. Italian ingredients arrive on a regular schedule, and the room fills early enough that there's a queue on a Tuesday. Ranked in the top 20 on 50 Top Pizza World, which in this particular niche carries some weight.


  3. Rank 3. Sette

    Roman Pizza

    Roman-style pizza in Vienna's seventh district, where the dough is long-fermented and hydrated enough to make Neapolitan purists quietly nervous. The kitchen pairs each pizza with a cocktail, which sounds gimmicky until it doesn't. Fried starters, including supplì, come first, and the room keeps things low-key and unhurried. It reads like something transplanted from a fashionable Milan side street, which is more or less the point.


  4. Wood-fired Neapolitan pizza in Bratislava, ranked eighth in Europe by 50 Top Pizza, from a Sardinian who moved here for love and clearly stayed to make a point. The dough is high-hydration, long-leavened, and baked to a pronounced crust. Service runs closer to a gastronomic restaurant than a slice shop, with wine pairings listed by label and producer, and truffle pizza portioned tableside. Sardinian pastries and a well-curated Italian wine list round things out.


  5. A floor-to-ceiling mural of Naples and quotes from Totò set the tone at this Neapolitan pizzeria in central Bratislava. The dough is the main argument: light, properly leavened, soft in the center with a high airy crust and no burnt edges in sight. The menu runs to a dozen-plus pages, which has been known to trigger mild existential dread, and the wine list stretches to Champagne, as if daring you to treat pizza night seriously. It's on 50 Top Pizza Europe's Excellent Pizzerias list.
