It\u2019s TODAY!!! \ud83d\ude42 International Pizza Day<\/strong>! You have to eat pizza today or at least plan a visit to a pizzeria soon! We decided to commemorate this day with a special entry. An entry in which we will show you 9 places where you should eat pizza in Warsaw in our opinion. As usual, the list is made by us and subjective, these are all places that appeal to us from various reasons \u2013 sometimes they\u2019re new, sometimes hidden, sometimes oldschool but they should be mentioned since they\u2019re important for the history of pizza in Warsaw even though we don\u2019t go there that much nowadays.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We read the comments below our Sunday post on Facebook<\/a> closely and considered everything even though it wasn\u2019t easy because apart from several places that were submitted may times there was a lot of places that were submitted only once. We chose additional spots to visit counting the number of votes and sometimes the pictures which really say a lot about pizza. But don\u2019t worry, we\u2019ll check the remaining places too \ud83d\ude42 Just give s more time \ud83d\ude42 This is the first 9 places where you should eat a pizza. In the end of the entry, we included a few words about places we visited where you shouldn\u2019t really go to have a pizza in our opinion.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

PS. It\u2019s not really a ranked list however I have to admit that Top 3 is a Top 3 \ud83d\ude09 The rest is in a more or less random order \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

9 PLACES FOR A PIZZA IN WARSAW:<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

1)Al Capone<\/a> – ul. Adama Asnyka 6 (Ochota)<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"pizza,<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Al Capone<\/a> got on our list in the very last minute and killed it! Not very popular, hidden somewhere in small alleys of Old Ochota. With a vibe, quite romantic in the evening if you\u2019re thinking of a dinner for two! An absolutely perfect pizza with addictive dough, great tomato sauce and a good amount of real Italian fior di latte.<\/em> If you like a lot of toppings on your pizza, try Capricciosa! This pizza is absolute madness. The pizza is made in the basement of the place, in an open kitchen by Marco, an Italian who may serve you a Nutella calzone for dessert. Madness!<\/p>\n

The menu includes both pizzas rosse<\/em> and bianche<\/em> including a tempting Patate<\/em> with fior di latte, potatoes, cacao cavallo and pancetta. Pizzas cost between PLN 20 and 38.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

2) Ciao a Tutti<\/a> – al. Niepodleg\u0142o\u015bci 217<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"pizza,<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

An inconspicuous and small Ciao a Tutti<\/a> is hidden in a place where not many people go for walks. But if you look around closely while crossing from Niepodleg\u0142o\u015bci street to into Wawelska you will notice an entrance to a small Italian paradise. An almost homespun vibe with charming black and red checquered tablecloths. PIZZA rules on their menu. Without question. There\u2019s no pastas or main courses. Pizza, salad, dessert. And that\u2019s enough when you\u2019re serving pizza as good as here! When you eat it, your thoughts drift towards Italy! Try salsiccia e spinaci<\/strong> for instance \u2013 with Italian sausage and spinach! Pizzas cost between PLN 16 and 28. There\u2019s 31 to choose from.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

3) M\u0105ka i Woda<\/a> – ul. Chmielna 13 A<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"pizza,<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I bet that\u2019s the most controversial place on our list!:) I get the feeling that you either love or hate M\u0105ka i Woda<\/a>. You\u2019re either a sworn opponent or you recommend it to anyone. What\u2019s funny is the fact that we\u2019ve done both;) In the beginning we weren\u2019t amazed by M\u0105ka and did not understand what do all these people see in it ???!!?? However after we checked it last summer for lunch, we couldn\u2019t stop coming! We love it for the dough, for the sauce and various creative flavours \u2013 pizza with prunes, fresh figs and pancetta? There you o! Or mozzarella di bufala,<\/em> fontal cheese, almonds, pancetta, chilli, pecorino romano, pears, maple syrup?? It\u2019s there! <\/span><\/span><\/span>M\u0105ka is good at it! \ud83d\ude42 The most attractive thing inside is the huge oven and pizza being made all the time \u2013the heart of the restaurant!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

PS. They do one o the best soups in town for lunches! PS2. If you\u2019re thinking of looking in your eyes in peace and quiet on a Friday night, well think again! On Friday M\u0105ka is like a beehive. Not only on Fridays to be honest!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

4) Ave! Pizza<\/a> – ul. Topiel 12 (Powi\u015ble)<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"pizza,<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We only went to Ave! Pizza<\/strong> now even though we planned that for a while… however it never worked out for us before that. Famous, recommended and super popular. We had to check it out! A nice and casual place with tables put close to pizzaiolo<\/em> so that you could peek on him all the time and see how your pizza is made. Menu includes 15 types of pizze rosse<\/em> for PLN 20 \u2013 38. If you\u2019re looking for something spicy, go for Affumicata<\/strong> with mozzarella, provolone, spicy salami, mushrooms and speck. There are also pizze bianche<\/em> (with mozzarella, no tomato sauce) \u2013 I was really tempted bu the one with cherry tomatoes, bresaola, black truffle cream, rucola and parmesan.<\/p>\n

Ave Pizza firmly enter the group of best pizza places in Warsaw, but I have to admit we expected a little bit more!;)<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

5) Bella Napoli by Enzo Rossi<\/a> – several places, i.e. Kondratowicza 18 (Br\u00f3dno)<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"pizza,<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Bella Napoli is a classic everyone should know! Currently they already have a small Italian empire in Warsaw. Apart from the probably most popular place on ul. Kondratowicza in Br\u00f3dko, their pizza is available on ul. Na\u0142\u0119czkowska 60, ul. Kolejowa 47 and ul. Ko\u015bciuszki 38 in Marki. For us this place has its own special charm! An old man who welcomes the guest on ul. Kondratowicza with “Buon giorno! Per due? Prego!”, constant crowds and Italian pizzaiolo<\/em> who make their pizza listening to Italian TV. We used to love to go here a few years ago, especially in the summer since the owners put the tables out on sunny days in order to serve all the customers! Right now the restaurant is a bit bigger and even though we didn\u2019t like the food as we used to when we returned in November this place is still a legend of Warsaw\u2019s pizza.<\/p>\n

Pizzas cost between PLN 15 and 31. There\u2019s 34 flavours and 3 Calzone to choose from. The flavours are rather classic. During our visits we usually had a pizza for starters and then took a pasta each \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

6) Non Solo Pizza<\/a> – ul Gr\u00f3jecka 28 \/ 30 (Ochota)<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"pizza,<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

EDIT: I found a picture of Non Solo buried somewhere deep in our Instagram \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

What an irony: being a blogger, we were to this restaurant numerous times but have no photos! \ud83d\ude09 Non Solo is yet another classic. Know it? Non Solo and their sister place A Modo Mio bring many memories! I used to go there years ago with my mother, with friends and we at our first dinner with \u0141ukasz in Warsaw there, quite accidentally. Over the years both places turned a bit towards mainstream and poor service, but their pizza is still good! \ud83d\ude42 I love the spicy Lacrima. They also had their flagship NonSoloPizza with ham, mushrooms and garlic olive oil.<\/p>\n

Pizzas cost between PLN 18 and 39. They also have pizza on wholemeal dough.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

7) Heritage Shop & Wine<\/a> – 3 places, i.e. Filtrowa 83 (Ochota)<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"pizza,<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Heritage Shop & Wine<\/strong><\/a> can be found in three different places in Warsaw on Plac Zbawiciela, ul. Solec 117 (near Tamka) and on ul. Filtrowa right next to Narutowicz square. It\u2019s not a restaurant, more wine and Italian specialties shop. A kind of deli where you can by Italian cantucci cookies to go, coffee and olives, or even great fresh gnocchi! If you have a minute, stop for pizza too. It\u2019s different than the others \u2013 oblong, served on a wooden board, very thin and crispy. A different category than Al Capone, Ciao a Tutti or M\u0105ka i Woda but it\u2019s tasty, cosy and charming. For the menu, best check their Facebook (Narutowicz – HERE!<\/a>) since they don\u2019t have a regular menu. There\u2019s usually 1-2 pizzas available every day but you can also try their main courses if you lie… gnocchi with mascarpone and nuts or duck ravioli for instance. Sounds pretty awesome, doesn\u2019t it? \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

8) L’Olivo<\/a> – ul. \u017belazna 59 A (Wola)<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"pizza,<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A candidate for the Restaurant of the Year 2015 title. The owners are a Polish-Italian married couple and a Tuscany native is cooking. The pastas in L\u2019Olivo were pretty disappointing, but the pizza left such great memories that it\u2019s worth remembering! It you like spicy food, go for pizza N\u2019duja<\/strong> with Italian n\u2019duja and spinata sausages, mozzarella and paprika (PLN 36) \u2013 a perfect choice. Typically Italian on a thin (but not too thin) dough with a lot of spicy sausage which makes it nicely hot on the tongue.<\/p>\n

They also do both pizze rosse<\/em> and bianche<\/em>. Prices are between PLN 20 and 38. On their website<\/a> you can read that in accordance with Italian culinary art, they don\u2019t serve any extra sauces with the pizza \u2013 \u2018Pizza in L\u2019Olivo is complete. Like in any typical Italian ristorante we don\u2019t serve it with extra sauces. If you still want to pour something over it, we suggest our olive oil and a glass of good wine.\u2019 Big up for this!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

9) La Bottega Toscana<\/a> – ul. Cybernetyki 3 (near Mordor;))<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"pizza,<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

La Bottega Toscana<\/a> closes our list! The owner and chef of this little restaurant near Galeria Mokot\u00f3w was born in Tuscany and as soon as you enter, you\u2019ll notice Juventus shawl. We loved Bottega pizza with bresaola and gorgonzola (perfect combination!) and Rustica (with rucola, parmesan and Parma ham). Tasty dough, however a bit to dry compared with our top 3… a decent sauce, plenty of good quality toppings. You can come with children, no problem since there\u2019s a kids\u2019 corner available (small, but with many toys). Ask if they\u2019re still doing pizza making workshops for children on weekends \u2013 I know that they used to.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

While preparing this entry, we considered other restaurants and pizzerias too. Some of the ones you generously names under out Facebook post (thank! You\u2019re great! We can eat pizza for a year now and we got a good excuse for it!) and some which we heard about. In the last 2 days we had pizza in 5 different places in order to expand our knowledge about Warsaw\u2019s pizzas. Quite a lot \ud83d\ude09 There\u2019s a lot more places to see before we do our second edition, but we decided to close this list with 9 names. Here are some places we know or have tested where the pizza is not worth coming back for in our opinion:<\/p>\n

-Il Caminetto (dry sides, almost no cheese, no pleasure in eating, also really poor salsicca ravioli)<\/p>\n

-Pizza na Barskiej (definitely a Polish version of Italian pizza and we prefer he original. The dough was sweetish and served with a huge jar of oregano sauce. I \u2018Polish pizza\u2019 category it\u2019s a strong contender, but it\u2019s no match for an Italian one)<\/p>\n

-La Mia Italia on ul. Domaniewska (a tasty pizza but disappointing toppings \u2013 the mozzarella di bufala turned out to be an ordinary mozzarella in German packaging)<\/p>\n

– Mamma Marietta (we really like the place and their pastas but their pizza is nothing special \u2013 we wrote about them twice – HERE<\/a> and HERE<\/a>)<\/p>\n

-Pizza 360 (good pizza, pleasant place, but nothing special: reviewHERE<\/a>)<\/p>\n

– Spacca Napoli (a tasty pizza but again, nothing special compared with others, both in terms of flavour, dough, memories. Apart from that we really didn\u2019t like their stiff ravioli \u2013 review HERE<\/a>)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
