Hot words like ‘Udon’ and ‘Ramen’ and ‘Poke bowl’ are being thrown around more and more in the city’s dining scene, and we’re trying them all with our best hungry/excited face.

Bros. Pizza is an ambitious little place on Zollergasse owned by Serge who set out on a quest one day to create a real Wiener Pizza. Using sour dough and selected ingredients that come from Austria and Italy, the pizzas feature local versions of cheese, meat and other tasty toppings adorning the dough base (made and baked on the premises). The pizzas are 22cm, meaning they’re compact and perfect for a lunch take-away meal, but you can also sit down on one of the 8 seats in the small pizza bar to devour your Viennese pizza.
Recommended if you like: great local interpretations of international bestseller foods, small take-away places with lots of charm, visionaries, pizza, yelling, ‘that’s a spicy meatball,’ for no apparent reason whatsoever
