Da Pietro is the real deal for Neapolitan pizza in Prague, finally bringing the Plzeň legend to Vinohrady. The pink-and-blue interior (complete with a Maradona statue) is bold, but the real draw is the custom wood-fired oven that turns out some of the country's best pies. Skip the wine list if you're on a budget—it's pricey—but the pizza alone is worth the trip to Bělehradská.
The Plzeň Legend Comes to Vinohrady
Da Pietro has been a pilgrimage site for pizza lovers in the Czech Republic for years, with people regularly driving from Prague to Plzeň just for a slice. Now, you don't have to make the trip—the Vinohrady branch brings the same wood-fired magic to the city. The interior is a conversation starter: pink floors, blue tiles, and a statue of Diego Maradona in a Napoli jersey tucked behind the oven. It's a bold design choice that pays homage to the restaurant's Neapolitan roots without feeling kitschy.
The pizza itself lives up to the hype. The dough is light and airy, the char from the custom-built oven is perfect, and the toppings are sourced with care. It's not the cheapest pizza in Prague, and the wine list is a bit steep, but the quality is undeniable. The service is friendly and attentive, and the open kitchen lets you watch the pizza masters at work. If you're looking for authentic Neapolitan pizza in a fun, modern setting, Da Pietro is the place to go.
