Riva – Best Pizza

Ah, Riva. The mention of you in passing gets us drooling. We just can’t get enough of you. We keep saying it’s an open relationship. Sure, we can see other peo.. pizzerias. But we keep coming back to you.
Ask your Italian friends for the top pizza place in Vienna, and Riva’s highly likely to be their answer. It’s truly an institution. The chefs are all Italian, and they are probably among some of the friendliest in Vienna. Working their magic near the entrance, it’d be awkward not to say ‘Hi’ to these guys when entering (we like to think they add a little extra topping every time we do). Same goes for the efficient staff, who work their butts off to serve a packed house every night. Seriously, reserve a table.

The pizza is Neapolitan-style, with a relatively thick base, and an oh so soft and chewy crust. They also have a branch at Favoritenstraße, and are a permanent fixture at the Summer Stage in summer.

Be sure to try: if you have room for dessert, order their Nutella calzone to share. Just do it. Trust us. We’ll say it again – Mama-Fucking-Mia!

They also have a restaurant in the 10th:
