Best pizza in Verona: 4 local favourites to know
Four pizza nights, each for a different moment: central and lively, Arena-adjacent, slightly off-route or contemporary.

Pizza works best when you pick the mood first.
There is no need to turn one dinner into a quest for a universal winner. Decide whether you want a quick central table, an Arena-adjacent option, a local classic or a more contemporary room, then let the current menu decide the rest.
01 · A long-running local classic
Pizzeria da Salvatore
A straightforward Neapolitan-style pizza night a little outside the busiest central lanes. Choose it when you want a relaxed reset from the sightseeing circuit and a familiar local rhythm.
02 · Lively pizza in the centre
Pizzeria Du De Cope
A central, high-energy choice for long-fermentation dough and quality toppings. The setting can be compact and busy, which suits a sociable dinner rather than a quiet occasion.
03 · A meal steps from Piazza Bra
Pizzeria Da Pino
A practical option near the Arena, useful for groups and show nights when a broad menu and an easy location matter. Treat it as a reliable part of the evening plan, not a detour.
04 · A more contemporary pizza night
Gemma Pizzeria
A modern pizzeria with central and Borgo Trento locations. Check the exact branch before you go, then choose it for a more curated pizza dinner with a little neighbourhood character.
On an Arena evening, book early.
Piazza Bra fills up quickly before performances. Da Pino is convenient; for the other addresses, give yourself enough time for the walk.
