The Best Pizza in Zurich – My Personal Pizzeria Recommendations
Where can you find the best pizza in Zurich? I get this question a lot, but there is no single answer, because pizza is very much a matter of taste. Whether you like it thin and crispy, soft and airy Neapolitan-style, or made with long-fermented sourdough, San Marzano tomatoes and buffalo mozzarella – Zurich offers an impressive variety. I have tried many pizzerias in Zurich and selected my personal favourites to help you find your perfect pizza.

On this page you will find my personal pizza recommendations in Zurich, clearly sorted and briefly explained.
