The dough has to be airy and delicious, the toppings juicy and fresh – that’s what the perfect pizza tastes like. Everyone loves Italian pizzas, but the choice of pizzerias is now so huge that it’s easy to lose track. We’ll help you find the best pizza in Zurich.
Who invented the round, flat, irresistible dough thing is controversial. Was it really the Italians, or was it perhaps made in China, or was it even invented by the Greeks? We don’t really care. The main thing is pizza. It has become an integral part of our diet and is consumed millions of times a day. “Quattro Stagioni”, “Prosciutto”, “Margherita” – these names sound like music to our ears and make us hungry. Being hungry is stupid and puts you in a bad mood. That’s why we’ll show you where to find the best pizza in Zurich to satisfy your grumbling tummy.

Pizzeria ArteChiara
Zurich residents will complain: Dietikon is not Zurich after all. So what? We’ll take the few minutes for Pizzeria ArteChiara any time. Francesco relies on fresh ingredients, an Italian pizzaiolo who knows how to make the Neapolitan dough so that the pizza comes out of the oven soft and fluffy, and a tiramisu that we’ll definitely be back for the next day.

Da Pone
The well-known San Gennaro became the Pizzeria Da Pone virtually overnight. The airy crust and delicious toppings are not the only reasons why it’s worth enjoying your pizza here: In summer, the proximity to the Limmat and the view of the water, which creates a Mediterranean feeling in the middle of Zurich, is a real draw.

At Genova’s, we regularly kill two birds with one stone: while we feast on the airy, thick and simply unbeatable pinsa (delicious like pizza, only with sourdough and therefore all the more digestible), we choose homemade antipasti in a glass, wine and the best olive oil in town for the next aperitif.

Miracle
The small, cozy Miracle restaurant in Seefeld is hidden away inconspicuously. Nevertheless, the restaurant is not short of guests, as it is usually full to the last seat. This is most likely due to the pizzas. They are the bomb! The selection is large, and the toppings are more special than in many other pizzerias. For example, the pizza at Miracle is topped with smoked salmon, onions and dill crème fraîche or scallops. The prices are another reason to visit the restaurant. They are unbeatable!

Rosso
All those who like it alternative: watch out! Rosso is located in an old industrial building right next to Hardbrücke. The atmosphere is unique, as the building from the 1930s has not been modernized in any way, and the delicious pizzas look even better in the skillfully staged lighting. The pizza dough is so perfect that you can eat the crust even when your belly has been full for a long time. If you want to be sure of a place, you must make a reservation!

Ristorante Cucina
A classic Italian restaurant with three locations in Zurich that makes sure we don’t miss out on pizza. The restaurant is elegantly and lovingly furnished, and the interior exudes a wonderful touch of Mediterranean charm. The pizzas are served rustic-style on an almond-shaped wooden board and the dough is wonderfully crispy, not too thick or too thin. The ingredients are always fresh from the market. An ideal meeting place to spend a pizza evening with friends in an uncomplicated atmosphere.

Mezzo
“Meet and Eat” is the motto of this stylish neighborhood pub, which knows how to shine with its pizzas.

Mezzo is a restaurant without a lot of frills: the focus is on the food, as it should be. But if you still don’t feel like lingering, take the pizza as a take-away.

Derby Pizza
A pizzaiolo does not measure his skills by the Hawaiian pizza, but by the Margherita. And it tastes so good at the Derby directly at Lochergut in Zurich that people queue up at lunchtime and in the evening. Baked in the Neapolitan style, cut with scissors. And eaten? With a big grin on his face.
