Fight Club

Fight Club (a reference to the old boxing shop) is not your average Brussels pizzeria. Here, Lakhdar Lakhdar-Hamina serves New York-style pizzas. In other words, very thin ones, served by the slice. You can also order a mega-pizza if you're bringing the whole gang. Pair your pie with a delicious salad and a phenomenal pesto!

Biga

This pizzeria sits on place Colignon in Schaerbeek. Here they resolutely serve up a contemporary take on the Neapolitan pizza, favouring local ingredients, with fluffy dough with tomatoes from Anderlecht and mozzarella from Etterbeek. Even the coffee's from Schaerbeek. At lunchtime, you can enjoy a Panuozzo, the famous Neapolitan sandwich, with a view of Schaerbeek town hall.

CŎCĪNA Flagey - Aperitivo Bar e Pizzeria

Head to Flagey and its magnificent ponds for our last pizza recommendations! At CŎCĪNA, you'll get one of the most authentic pizzas in Brussels. Start the evening with an Italian-style aperitivo, as their antipasti and cocktails menu is definitely worth the detour. Then, it's time to dive into the main course, because you simply can't visit the "temple of Neapolitan pizza" without tasting the house speciality! The menu boasts all the main classics, as well as more original compositions such as the "Bomba" with its crust stuffed with parmigiana, or even "La Delicata", a cream of courgette delight. So, it's time you head off to CŎCĪNA for an evening of la Dolce Vita.

Travolta

New York-style pizza-by-the-slice is taking Brussels by storm, and with the arrival of Travolta the Flagey neighbourhood now has its own new hotspot. However, here the slices of pepperoni, margherita or ‘special’ are so soft, so creamy and so thick that it’s clear the team are experts of Neapolitan pizza. The results are simply irresistible.

Rue du Nid 1 Neststraat, Ixelles - Elsene

Cicciomatto

Is there a type of pizza you can’t get in Brussels? Not anymore, now we have Cicciomatto. In this Flagey district hotspot you don’t eat pizza, but pain’za - a delicious cross between pain (bread) and pizza. All the ingredients are wonderfully light and, for the most part, sourced in Belgium. Expect fresh, creative toppings, paired with Italian-inspired shared plates and cocktails.
