Pizza

Located behind Shangdu SOHO in Zhongjun World City, the winners of our 2023 Cheesy Pizza Cup have made a splash in Beijing ever since they came up north from Shanghai last year. Go for the big 24 inch pies, pizza-by-the-slice, inventive snacks, and their creative branded beers.

Italian style pizzas to make your bites happy. Also serving non-pizza dishes like the Roasted Bacon Chicken Wings and Quinoa Salad.

The Pizza Show in Parkview Green, is a casual pizzeria serving Neapolitan-style pies. The space is light and airy, with an open kitchen where you can watch the pizzaiolos at work assembling your pies. Charred-crusted pizzas? Check. A wide range of toppings? Check. Take-out Aperol spritzes? Double-check. 

Pizzacello is an Italian-styled cafe and restaurant located a stone's throw from Lama Temple and offers a variety of appetizers, salads, pasta dishes, as well as make-your-own pizzas, calzone, and baci.

Pinvita, once known for its ice creams, is rapidly branching out to other non-dessert comfort grub such as burgers and pizzas. For the latter, they do play it very safe with their topping choices (margherita, four seasons, as well as calzones, are all here) but hey, who said pizza had to be complicated?

Perched on the sixth floor of Xidan Joy City, Pizzagram. takes a novel approach to selling pizza, slinging slices by the gram. Simply choose how much you'd like (100g/250g/500g at approximately RMB 15-20 per 100g), before the slice is weighed, heated up, and served before serving. Since all pizza slices are sold by the gram, there’s also a pizza rank showing the bestsellers of the moment. Choices include raclette, “Hawaii and Italy go to China,” chorizo, porcini, barbecue chicken, Mexican, margarita, salmon and truffle, carpaccio, and Nutella.

Surprisingly good pizza in a drab, far west end locale. 

Creative toppings like yams and sesame black pepper beef make this pizza place a unique standout.

Moderately priced pizzas and snacks in southern Beijing.

Opened in 2008, Nasca Café's owner Liu Guanliang studied marketing in New Zealand, and worked at popular local pizza restaurant chain Hell Pizza (with 64 stores in NZ), before bringing the concept to China. Obsessed with Nazca Lines (the large ancient geoglyphs in southern Peru), he named his brand after them.
