Sourdough so central to the operation that they occasionally send guests home with dehydrated starter. Alba is a pizzeria on Bremgartnerstrasse with a short, rotating menu that leans on local and Italian ingredients, a focaccia to open things up, and a drinks list longer than you'd expect. The room splits between an intimate back section, a brighter front, and a street-facing veranda when Zürich cooperates with the weather.

Rank 4. DA NOI
Neapolitan Pizza
A Neapolitan pizza spot on the banks of the Limmat, where the terrace draws a crowd whenever Zürich remembers that summer exists. Inside, it's cozy in the way Italian trattorias always seem to manage without trying. The dough gets more than 24 hours to develop before anything goes on top of it, and the staff can walk you through the full menu of pizza, pasta, and wine with the ease of people who actually know it.

A Neapolitan pizza spot inside Zürich's main train station, occupying a nineteenth-century room with an inlaid coffered ceiling that makes you forget you're technically killing time between trains.

Listed among 50 Top Pizza Europe's Excellent Pizzerias.

A Neapolitan pizzeria on Birmensdorferstrasse where the pies run generous, both in size and in what gets piled on top. The menu leans into the classics while making room for more ambitious combinations, and there are a few pasta dishes and appetizers for anyone who shows up less than fully committed to pizza. Outdoor tables soften the whole thing nicely. The staff moves fast without feeling rushed, which is a harder trick than it looks.

Rank 7. Con Gusto
Neapolitan Pizza
Neapolitan pizza in Zürich with a properly charred crust and a longer vegan menu than you'd expect, which tells you something about the neighborhood. Con Gusto is a cozy, informal pizzeria with outdoor seating, generous fried starters, and coffee done the Italian way. The wine list is short, the beer list adequate, and the service moves fast enough that you won't be nursing a cold slice while the waiter finds the bill.

Rank 8. da PONE
Neapolitan Pizza
A Neapolitan pizza spot perched above the Limmat river, da PONE makes the kind of crust that resolves the soft-versus-crisp argument by refusing to choose. The dough goes through a long, careful leavening process, and you can taste the patience in it. The menu stays focused, with a few antipasti and pasta dishes rounding things out alongside an extensive wine list. It ranked on the 50 Top Pizza World list, for what that's worth on a Tuesday night in Zürich.

Mozzarella sticks shaped like cigars, served with spicy tomato aioli, give you a fair sense of what Fusio is going for: Neapolitan pizza with a creative lean, in a modern pizzeria in the Oerlikon district. The dough is light with a generous crust, and the menu rotates seasonal pies alongside pasta and meat dishes. Extra dipping sauces for the crust come standard, which feels like an obvious idea someone finally had. Outdoor seating fills up on warm evenings.

A garden that looks onto a park is a good argument for sitting outside, but the pizza earns its own case at this Neapolitan-leaning pizzeria near the Aarau train station. The dough is well-aerated and has actual structure, and the kitchen pairs toppings with enough care that the menu feels considered rather than long. A solid wine list rounds out something that reads as a proper sit-down meal, not a quick slice.

Rank 11. Ninni
Pizza
A sit-down pizzeria in Aarau's old town, Ninni turns out contemporary Neapolitan-style pies with a well-hydrated, airy dough that holds its shape even after the staff slices them for you at the table.

Bruschettas with proper Italian ingredients open things up nicely. It's on 50 Top Pizza Europe's list of excellent pizzerias.
