When you think of Lisbon, you might think of trams, tile-covered buildings, and delectable custard tarts. But did you know that it also has a thriving pizza scene? Pizza lovers, Italian immigrants, and Portuguese trained in the pizza-making arts have brought their talents to Lisbon and serve up slices of delicious pizza pie on the daily. We scoured the city to bring the best pizzerias. From to Neopolitan New York style, from sourdough to gluten-free, we’ve got Lisbon’s pizza scene covered – and, of course, almost all of them deliver! Here’s our guide to the top eleven pizza spots in the city. One small note, the establishments listed below are not ranked from best to worst.
1. Lupita Pizzaria
If you wanted to check out a Lisbon pizzeria that has competed on the international scene, look no further than Lupita – but get ready to join the masses because word has certainly gotten out. Currently ranked as the 45th top pizzeria in Europe, Lupita serves up naturally leavened pizza and natural wines for dine-in, takeaway, and delivery. Opened in September 2019 in the conveniently located Cais do Sodré, Lupita’s small dining room is usually full of customers who usually need to queue for about 30 minutes for a table.
Why go? Come to see if this is truly one of the best pizzas in Europe (you be the judge); the cheesy garlic bread and Basque burnt cheesecake are also delicious!

Phone – +351 935 002 182
Opening Hours – Open every day, 12:00 PM – 3:00 PM, 6:00 PM – 11:30 PM
2. La Matta Pizzeria
Located in the traditional and lively neighborhood of Graça, La Matta Pizzeria prides itself on top-quality ingredients and authentic Neapolitan-style pizza. La Matta also comes with street cred as it is managed by an Italian and approved by many Italian customers. We recommend any pizza that includes burrata here, as it is some of the creamiest you will find.
Why go? Come for the quick and friendly service and try to get a seat outside if you can to take in the Graça vibes, which are especially festive in the month of June during Santos Populares.
Address – Tv. do Monte 22
Phone – +351 218 863 865
Opening Hours – Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, 12:00 PM – 3:00 PM, 6:00 PM – 11:00 PM; Wednesday, 6:00 PM – 11:00 PM, Saturday-Sunday, 12:30 PM – 3:30 PM, 6:00 PM – 11:00 PM
3. In Bocca al Lupo
Tucked away in PrÃncipe Real, In Bocca al Lupo is the first pizzeria on our list to offer both vegan and gluten-free options. There are two types of gluten-free pastas and one gluten-free pizza available along with gluten-free beer. Due to its refined atmosphere and upscale design, you should expect higher prices but no less attention to detail and quality. Extra points to the tiramisu.
Why go? If you’re looking for a swanky yet cozy ambiance with vegan and gluten-free options

4. M’arrecreo Pizzeria
I must admit to being biased here because M’arrecreo was the first pizzeria that I tried in Lisbon. The fact that it has since expanded and opened a food cart just outside of El Corte Inglés attests to its popularity. While M’arrecreo has a bit of a strange location, as it almost feels like it’s part of a repurposed hotel lobby, its Neapolitan style pizzas will tantalize your taste buds and keep you coming back for more. This definitely feels like a place you could walk into in Italy. Bring a date and savor the caprese, panna cotta, and, of course, the pizza!
Why go? The friendly service and central location make this a favorite for both tourists and locals.
Address РR. de Ṣo Pedro de Alc̢ntara 35
Phone – +351 216 012 374
Opening Hours – Monday-Thursday, 12:30 PM – 10:30 PM, Friday-Sunday, 12:30 PM – 11:30 PM
5. Forno d’Oro
Forno d’Oro is a Lisbon institution, run by celebrated chef Tanka Sapkota, owner of three Italian restaurants in Lisbon: Come Prima, Forno d’Oro, and Il Mercato. Sapkota is also credited with discovering the first summer black truffle in Portugal in 2024. Forno d’Oro combines Italian tradition and fantastic customer service with Portuguese flair, incorporating local ingredients like Serra da Estrela cheese and chouriço into their creations. Try their unique Burrata e Foglia d’Oro, which tops tomatoes, fresh mozzarella style cheese and burrata with edible gold flakes.
Why go? Come for unique flavors and the best service you will likely find at any Lisbon pizzeria. Let’s hope that Portuguese truffles soon get added to the menu!

6. Valdo Gatti Pizza Bio
Just around the corner from M’arrecreo (#4 on our list) is another interesting Lisbon pizza spot – this time because of its sourdough crust made with organic ingredients in an authentic Italian style. Valdo Gatti caters to vegetarians or those looking for pizza that is low in gluten (but not gluten free). The menu here is unique with dishes such as arugula salad, poached pears, and a peach and burrata appetizer. Word has gotten out about Valdo Gatti so you may need to wait if you don’t get a reservation beforehand. Fortunately, the reservation system allows you to get a notification when your table is ready so you don’t have to necessarily wait in line.
Why go? Sourdough pizza base + a nice selection of vegetarian pizzas including zucchini vegan and mushroom truffle

7. La Trattoria
A longstanding Lisbon gem close to Marquês de Pombal, La Trattoria caters, in particular, to large groups due to the generous size of its restaurant. The menu includes not only pizza but also many Italian dishes including an entire buffet option. Try the ham + burrata pizza or grab pizza along with part of the buffet. Enjoy the vintage decor straight out of the 1980s.
Why go? The generous space, big buffet, and delicious pizzas make this a go-to spot for large groups and those for looking for many gluten-free options

8. Pizzeria ZeroZero
Pizzeria ZeroZero is a stylish pizza venue offering both classic and gourmet options. Now with three locations in Lisbon, it has solidified itself as a pizzeria chain that is hopefully here to stay. We recommend the PrÃncipe Real location for its lovely garden. Try the Mozzarella and Straciatella with mozzarella, tomato, straciatella, balsamic truffle, and basil. Their 5 Cheese pizza is also a turophile’s creamy dream.
Why go? The garden terrace in PrÃncipe Real and the inventive flavor combinations will keep you coming back for more

9. La Camionetta
On the edge of Alcântara, La Camionetta specializes in authentic Neapolitan pizzas made with passion. You only need to take one look at their Instagram to see how much fun they’re having. For spice lovers, try La Calabrese with spicy salami, smoked scamorza, and nduja sausage. The Mortadella is also a highlight served with pistachio and pesto.
Why go? Incredibly friendly neighborhood vibes and consistently excellent pizza. You can tell that the locals love this place.

10. Ruoto Pizza
Hidden just off the main road where every tourist in town comes for their pastel de nata fix, Ruoto Pizza serves Neapolitan style pizza with great attention to detail and quality. The pizza is so thin that you can cut it with scissors and fold it up into a perfect burrito-like bite. For its size, the pizza is a little on the expensive side, but its quality more than makes up for it. We recommend the Tartufata that comes with mushrooms, truffle cream, burrata, and black pepper. The Santa Nduja with Nduja sausage, caramelized onions, and pecorino is also delicious.
Why go? A perfect stop after exploring the historic sights of Belém.

11. Rico Pizza
Located in the heart of Alcântara, Rico Pizza is the newest pizzeria on our list but is already racking up rave reviews. Offering New York-style pizza, Rico serves interesting combinations of flavors including the Vodka Pancetta with tomato vodka cream sauce, pancetta, and shallots. They also have vegetarian and vegan options. Try the cookie by the slice or tiramisu for dessert.
