The Best Pizza Near The Capra, by the Record
-
Rank 1. Fiore di Latte
Neapolitan Pizza
Neapolitan pizza on the shores of Lake Maggiore sounds like a punchline, but the room fills on weeknights anyway. This is a proper pizza spot doing fried pies and Margherita variations alongside Campanian desserts that suggest someone's nonna has opinions. The dough is the point, the ingredients are taken seriously, and the setting, tucked into a small village between beaches, makes the whole thing feel like a slightly improbable discovery.

A Caserta family transplanted to the Aosta Valley, making Neapolitan pizza in the Alps, which is either an odd choice or an obvious one depending on how hungry you are. The dough is long-fermented, soft, and light, and the menu stretches beyond pizza into appetizers and full plates, with a small shop attached. Ranked on 50 Top Pizza Italy, it draws the kind of crowd that drives a while and doesn't mention it.

Contemporary Pizza
A 48-hour fermented dough is the quiet brag at this contemporary pizza spot a short walk from Lake Maggiore in Ascona. The menu runs from straightforward classics to more inventive combinations, with options in charcoal or gluten-free. A terrace out front fills up fast when the weather cooperates. The craft beer list is short and well chosen, which is really all you need.
