Looking for authentic Italian pizza in Warsaw? To help you save time and money, we’ve rounded up the capital’s best pizzerias – from traditional Neapolitan spots with wood-fired ovens to modern places with creative toppings. There’s something here for every pizza lover.
And if you’re craving more than just pizza, take a look at our guide to Warsaw’s best restaurants for all tastes and budgets.
1. Nonna Pizzeria
Hidden just around the corner from Warsaw University, Nonna Pizzeria completely changed my mind about Neapolitan pizza in Poland.
What used to be a Żabka store has been transformed into a cozy two-story pizzeria serving some of the city’s finest pies. You’ll find perfectly thin crusts with those signature charred edges that true Neapolitan pizza is known for. Their house-made tomato sauce is a standout.
The menu balances traditional favorites with creative combinations. Don’t miss their signature Carminuccio pizza or the one topped with spicy Calabrian nduja. Heat seekers should give the Diavola a shot – but fair warning, it packs a punch.
Space is tight here, with two small rooms that can get pretty crowded, especially upstairs. The downstairs dining room has a better vibe to it. Since they don’t take reservations and it’s a student hotspot, expect to wait in line during peak hours.
Save room for dessert – their meringues come with pistachio, lemon, or raspberry toppings and nail that perfect crispy-yet-delicate texture.
Prices are what you’d expect for central Warsaw, and the quality makes it worth every złoty.
2. Ciao a Tutti
Located near Filtry, Ciao a Tutti is the real deal when it comes to Neapolitan pizza. Each pie is crafted following traditional Italian methods, starting with their dough that’s left to proof for 24 hours to develop that perfect texture pizza enthusiasts rave about.
They’re serious about ingredients here – we’re talking certified San Marzano D.O.P. tomatoes from Agro Sarnese-Nocerino and fresh Fior di Latte mozzarella shipped straight from Italy. Their type 00 flour dough hits all the right notes for texture and stretch.
My first bite of their Margherita was a game-changer – it’s amazing how a few simple ingredients can create such incredible flavor. Everything just melts together perfectly, from the whisper-thin crust to the juicy tomatoes.
One heads-up: if you’re dining with more than two people, they can’t split the bill, so plan accordingly.
3. drożdż
I stumbled upon a hidden gem while hunting for authentic Neapolitan pizza – Drożdż pizzeria. The crispy, bubbly-edged crust was so good it brought me back three times!
Their mushroom and mozzarella pizza is the star of the show, with each ingredient singing in perfect harmony. The dough, made with type 00 flour, strikes that sweet spot between crispy and chewy. Don’t sleep on their “panuozzo” either – it’s a sandwich made with pizza dough that’s worth trying.
It’s a compact space with clean, modern vibes. When the weather’s nice, grab a spot at one of their outdoor tables. The counter-service setup means you can take your time deciding, and they’ve got some great craft drinks to go with your pie, including some pretty solid mimosas.
Sure, sometimes the crust comes out a bit too charred, but the staff is quick to make things right. Between the quality ingredients and the skill in the kitchen, Drożdż has definitely earned its spot among Warsaw’s pizza elite.
4. Pizzaiolo Krucza
“Best Neapolitan pizza in Warsaw” — that’s what you’ll often hear from regulars at Pizzaiolo Krucza.
The thin crust perfectly balances fresh toppings, creating rich flavors without getting soggy — the pizza holds its shape even when folded. Their “Patate e Habanero” is a must-try, and don’t miss their weekly specials. The menu features three different takes on “Margherita,” each with its own unique spin, plus some creative topping combinations.
The portions are generous — one pizza will definitely fill you up. It gets pretty busy in the evenings since they’re open late, doubling as both a pizzeria and bar.
5. Va Bene
Va Bene serves pizza by the slice — perfect for sampling different toppings on their crispy-bottomed thin crust. Their Italian chef likes to get creative with toppings while respecting traditional recipes. The bar’s self-service, with a solid selection of wines and beers.
The reasonable prices make it a go-to spot for lunch breaks. Their pasta’s worth checking out too — they stick to authentic Italian recipes for their carbonara and amatriciana.
6. Diverso
At Diverso, they make their dough using a 25-year-old starter and organic Italian flour – you can really taste the difference in the airy texture and crispy crust.
You’ve got to try their tuna and burrata pizza! The toppings here range from house-made jams to caviar, and they never skimp on quality. The open kitchen lets you watch everything from dough-making to the finishing touches.
A friend of mine swears it’s the second-best pizza he’s ever had – and I get it, it really does taste like something from a family-run spot in Tuscany.
7. Cuda
Cuda puts a twist on the traditional Italian dinner with their beer and pizza combo. They serve some unique pizzas like their mango-chili-mozzarella creation and a goat cheese option — both pair perfectly with their craft beers.
Their 15 taps usually feature local breweries, including Poland’s own Funky Fluid. They offer tasting-sized portions of beer, so you can sample different ones throughout your visit. Weekend spots are hard to come by — locals love it for the laid-back vibe and great food.
8. Polly Pizza
Polly Pizza has got their process down: 48-hour fermented dough, Italian flour, and 90 seconds in a 460°C Stefano Ferrara oven – that’s how they make their perfect neo-Neapolitan pizza (and yes, the “neo” part is their own spin on things!)
Their specialty is the canotto style – puffy edges with a thin center that’s incredibly light thanks to the high-hydration dough. They keep it simple with the sauce – just San Marzano tomatoes and a touch of salt – and get their burrata from local supplier Bianca Mozzarella.
Their “Daddy Cool” pizza is the crowd favorite – many say it’s the best in Warsaw. While they nail the classics, they’re not afraid to experiment with unique toppings that go beyond traditional Italian fare.
9. SOLE! Powiśle
SOLE! Powiśle is one of my go-to spots in the city! Their truffle carbonara pizza has quite a following among regulars. The crust comes out light and airy, and the toppings are always fresh and juicy – especially on the “Parma.”
Spice lovers should try the “Diavola,” though heads up – it can be a bit on the oily side. They do this amazing pear pizza that really works, and their mushroom pizza is a winner too – the fresh ingredients really make it shine.
Just a heads up – it gets packed on weekdays, so you might need to wait for a table.
10. Quattro Piatti
Quattro Piatti is run by an Italian chef who personally prepares every dish. Their pizza dough is hand-kneaded and rested for 24 hours.
The truffle pizzas are a real standout here – they shave fresh truffles right before serving. The chef sticks to traditional recipes from different regions of Italy, and they even import some ingredients straight from the homeland. The homemade grissini breadsticks have a unique twist to them – made fresh in-house. Make sure to save room for their tiramisu!
11. La Strada
La Strada bakes their pizzas in a wood-fired oven, which gives them that perfect texture – not too thin, with just the right amount of chew. You’ll find all the classics like Margherita and Pepperoni, plus you can build your own pizza from scratch.
Their longtime pizzaiolo Roman works his magic in the kitchen. Beyond pizza, they’ve made quite a name for themselves with their fresh homemade pasta and risotto, all prepared in-house.
12. Tutti Santi
At Tutti Santi, Neapolitan pizza is the star of the show. You can’t go wrong with their signature San Giuseppe topped with aged bresaola and porcini mushrooms, or try the lighter Spinaci e ricotta featuring caramelized tomatoes and fresh spinach.
Cheese enthusiasts will fall in love with the Abruzja, loaded with buffalo mozzarella DOP and Pecorino Romano. Their pizzas come with thin crusts and crispy edges – many locals swear it’s some of the best pizza in Warsaw.
13. Spacca Napoli Powiśle
Think you know Neapolitan pizza? Spacca Napoli might surprise you. They even serve friarielli – a Naples delicacy that’s hard to find elsewhere, and their truffle pizza has become a favorite among regulars.
The dough is exactly what you’d expect from a top Italian pizzeria – complete with those lovely charred bubbles around the edges. It’s so authentic, you might forget you’re in Warsaw and not in the heart of Naples.
14. Pizzeria 360°
The cozy Pizzeria 360° crafts pizzas with fluffy edges and thin centers. The thin base is perfect for their creative toppings – try the burrata with stracciatella or the bianca with spicy ‘nduja, pumpkin, and thyme. They nail the classics too, like their tuna and salami pizzas. Don’t skip dessert – the tiramisu is heavenly.
15. PIZZA by the SLICE
Need a quick pizza fix? Pizza by the Slice has got you covered with their New York-style slices. Expect that classic thin, crispy crust topped with plenty of stretchy mozzarella.
The slices are generous, and the prices won’t break the bank. Everything’s made by hand with fresh ingredients, and their spicy jalapeño sauce adds an extra kick to the classic flavors.
16. Mąka i woda
Mąka i Woda has made a name for itself with wood-fired Neapolitan pizzas. They knead fresh dough daily and top it with seasonal local ingredients. The Funghi 2.0 is a must-try – the mushroom aroma alone will have you coming back for more.
17. Cafe Bar Havana
Cafe Bar Havana puts an interesting spin on pizza – think super-thin crispy crust with subtle Cuban-inspired toppings. Keep an eye out for their unique combinations like eggplant and melon pizzas. The prices are reasonable, and the portions are big enough to share between two people.
