Prague 1:
A perennial favorite, Ambiente Pizza Nuovo (www.ambi.cz) consistently is recommended when looking for good pizza. Not the cheapest of places, but the décor is lovely; staff accommodating and they offer all-you-can-eat. Also gets bonus points for its kid-friendliness. Nearby is Giallo Rossa (www.giallorossa.cz, currently under construction.) Pizzeria Donna (pizzadonna.cz) is a good one close to Old Town Square. They have a small non-smoking section in the back and a second location on Perlová. Rugantino (www.rugantino.cz) is also convenient to Old Town Square; with two Prague 1 locations. Not the cheapest option, but they have a good number of meat-free pizzas. Kmotra, (www.kmotra.cz) by the National Theater, also rates near the top. Pizzas (more than 30 on offer) are baked in a traditional wood oven. Modrá zahrada (Národní 37) is favored for its central location, fair prices and decent pies. The Green Tomato (www.greentomato.cz) has an okay pizza menu; but interesting interior and it´s very central on Jindřišská. Rustica (www.rustica.cz) is a cozy, brick-lined spot that also has its own brick oven. A good variety of pies; plus seven “white” pizzas; ones without tomato sauce. A pricy option is Pepe Nero (www.pepe-nero.net) on Bílkova. Over on the Malá Strana side; we are including St. Nicholas Café (Tržiště 10.) It doesn´t meet our “primarily pizza” criteria, however too many people have mentioned it for us to ignore it. Also over here is Carmelita (www.restauracecarmelita.cz.)

One of the most popular Prague 2 pizzerias (and one of the best in the city according to some) is Grosseto (www.grosseto.cz.) They also have locations at Dejvice; Brumlovka in Prague 4 and Průhonice. Pizzeria Venezia is big, air-conditioned and has a non-smoking section. The also offer delivery from their list of more than 30 pizzas.

Fresco Vento (www.frescovento.cz) is down by the river and offers an interesting pizza menu and dimly lit dining room.

Prague 3:
Pizzeria Sorrento (www.pizzeria-sorrento.cz) serves up some good pies and Pizzeria Dalí (Slezská 107) has had some good recommendations as well. Einstein (www.pizza-einstein.cz,) which some people highly do not recommend, has a Prague 3 locale. Buon Giorno (www.pizzabg.cz) is a small rustic place with a ton of pizzas. Persona (www.persona-pizza.cz) is stuffed with tables; but offers 25% off their pizzas on Saturdays and Sundays.

Prague 4:
Your best bet here is probably the Pizzeria di Carlo (www.dicarlo.cz) branch on Na Pankráci or Pizzeria Trappola (www.pankrac.trappola.cz) which has a good-sized dining room, nice terrace and gets packed at lunch. Note the strange seagulls hanging from the ceiling. Palatino (www.palatino-cz.com) is an upscale place with a nice terrace. They also have Prague 2 and Prague 5 locations.

Prague 5:
Corleone (www.corleone.cz) is a popular pizza/mob decorated joint with decent pies. There´s a big Pizza Coloseum (www.pizzacoloseum.cz) close to the Anděl metro station. Pizza Coloseum has a variety of locations inlcuding Vodičkova 32 and Budějovická 64. Fantozzi (www.pizzeria-fantozzi.cz) is a newer restaurant with cozy spots for tables; versus a big dining room space.

Prague 7:
Flamengo´s (Dukelských hrdinů 20) brick oven makes this a fav of many a pizza fan. Lucky Luciano´s (www.luckyluciano.cz) is indeed named after the mobster; the menu contains his bio and photos. Prices might be a bit high for the location. Riccardo (www.riccardo.cz) has a big outdoor seating area on Milady Horákové.

Just looking to pick-up a couple slices? Pizza Express (www.pizza-express.cz) has locations at Můstek, Mostecká and Anděl. Sbarro has a couple of locations. Those in the know recommend the one at Pálac Flóra mall; but advise avoiding the Smíchov Mall outlet. The I.P. Pavlova tram stop has a hopping pizza window (Pizza Roma) and who can forget the overwhelming pizza smell in the pedestrian tunnel behind the National Museum thanks to Pizza Grosso? If you´ve got a hankering for something American, pop into the Little Caesar´s in the Tesco at Národní Třída. If you find yourself near the Budějovická metro stop; cross the street towards the hospital there and check out the pizza being sold from the trailer in the parking lot. Really. Odds are, you´ll have to stand in line.
