Exclusive – Heavenly taste: The 3 most unique pizza places in Budapest – PHOTOS

Imagine you’re a tourist in the city of your dreams – or maybe just the capital city of a small country you’ve decided to visit. One of the best parts of travelling is undoubtedly getting to try the foods of the place. Personally, apart from indulging in the staple foods of the city I’m visiting, I’m always up for a good pizza wherever life takes me.

Pizzas are an essential dish in any major city: the selection is oftentimes immense, and usually, we do not have the time and energy to scroll through all the available reviews and feedback the pizzerias of the city receive. Fear not! We have done that for you should you happen to come to Budapest. Without further ado, let’s get into the 3 most exciting and unique pizza places in the Hungarian capital!

Local Korner

Local Korner steals your heart as soon as you set a virtual foot on their official webpage. You are greeted with an ingenious logo, a funky font, photos of mouthwatering flatbreads and a warm welcome.

Local Korner awaits guests with premium pizza – and, if you’re feeling adventurous, or maybe you just didn’t find the perfect pizza on the menu, they have a “simple and practical” flatbread option, as the owner of the place, Ákos Horváth puts it: you get to assemble the pizza you want to eat, which is then freshly baked by the chefs.

Don’t worry, you will not be bored while waiting for your tasty flatbread.

First, there’s a giant world map on the wall of the shop where you can write your name. By now, this map has become something of a pilgrimage site in Budapest with people from all around the world visiting and leaving their signatures here. Second, there’s a community table where you can chat with other guests. Lastly, you can even read the history of Local Korner in comic book form. These are already three reasons why you should visit this place and you haven’t even tasted their pizza yet!

We can’t overlook the kindness and friendliness of the waiters, who try their best to have a few words with each guest, whether it’s about their trip or just their day. Have I managed to convince you to visit Locak Korner yet?

Basilico Pizzeria

Fancy a place that is small, not much of a tourism hub, but still serves some of the best flatbread in the city? Basilico Pizzeria is your place. They make hand-tossed traditional Italian pizza baked in a stone oven. Their offer even includes New York-style flatbread which is a 45-50 cm diameter large pizza served by the slice.
