The Best Pizza in Cyprus, City by City

Good pizza in Cyprus has moved well beyond the chain delivery box. The best places now ferment their dough for a day or two, bake hot and fast, and keep the menu short. Our own shortlist below covers Nicosia, Limassol, Larnaca and Paphos, with the style each one makes, how to get a table (or a delivery) and what it costs.

Our own picks, checked in October 2026. Opening days and hours change, especially in winter, so check before you go. Know a great place we've missed? Tell us.

What styles of pizza can you find in Cyprus?

• Neapolitan: a soft, airy rim with dark "leopard" spots and a thin, slightly wet centre, baked in a very hot oven in about a minute. Eat it with a knife and fork, or fold it.
• Sourdough: a naturally leavened dough with a deeper, tangier flavour and a chewier bite; the crust is often charred and blistered.
• New York style: wider, thinner and crisper, sturdy enough to hold by the slice.
• Roman and Tuscan breads: thin and crisp (Roman), or flatbreads such as schiacciata and pinsa, often sold in slices or as sandwiches.

You will also find Cypriot touches on many menus, such as halloumi, lountza (smoked pork loin) or anari, the soft whey cheese.

Where is the best pizza in Nicosia?

Spin, Kosta Chatzopoulou Street

Spin is the Nicosia name pizza lovers were talking about in 2026. It sits in a narrow arcade off Kosta Chatzopoulou Street and makes sourdough pizza with a blistered, charred crust and a chewy inside. The menu is just six pizzas, with local wines and craft beer. Good combinations include pancetta with scamorza and Parmigiano, a white pizza with courgette, asparagus and anari, and a Margherita finished with anari. There is a vegan pizza, Soil. Pizzas were €9–16.

How to go: Spin does not take reservations and can fill up quickly, so arrive soon after it opens at 18:00. It is open Wednesday to Saturday evenings only. Phone 99 010214.

Impasto, Armenias Street

Impasto is a different idea: Maurizio Cellai, who is Italian, bakes Tuscan schiacciata every day, a flatbread with a thin, crisp crust, and serves it as pizza or as a filled sandwich. Favourites include mortadella with creamy mozzarella and pistachio pesto, and prosciutto with rocket and balsamic. There are sharing boxes for groups, and a few tables outside on a pedestrian street. Impasto is on the WiZ 50 Best Restaurants 2025 list, which is rare for a street-food shop. Phone 22 316425 to order ahead.

Where is the best pizza in Limassol?

Fooduro, Omirou Street

Fooduro started as a food truck during the pandemic and now has a shop on Omirou Street. Its pizza is a cross between Neapolitan and New York styles, made with dough fermented for 42 hours, and in September 2026 pizzas were €12–16, calzones €10–14 and pasta from €9. The house special is the Fooduro calzone, filled with a 150 g beef patty, mozzarella, bacon and caramelised onions; save room for the tiramisu or the Nutella calzone.

How to go: most of its business goes out through delivery apps; its website lists delivery on Wolt, Bolt Food and Foody, plus takeaway. There are a few tables if you want to eat it fresh from the oven. Closed Tuesday; open from noon on other days (Sunday from 16:00). Phone 25 430429. Instagram: @fooduro_.

Where can you eat pizza in Larnaca?

Al Dente, Metropolis Mall

Al Dente is an Italian restaurant inside Metropolis Mall on European Union Avenue, with pizza alongside pasta and risotto. In July 2026 a cheese focaccia (€8.90) made a good stand-in for pizza, and pasta dishes were €15–18. It is open daily from 9:30 to 22:30, which makes it an easy choice for a family meal after shopping. Phone 24 040040.

Where can you eat pizza in Paphos?

Nema, Kato Paphos

Nema is the casual restaurant of the Anémi Hotel and Suites on Iasonos Street in Kato Paphos. Its chef cooks Italian food with wider Mediterranean flavours, and the pizzas are a highlight, along with a beetroot and goat's cheese salad and sea bass. Large wooden tables and a terrace make it relaxed for groups. It is on the WiZ 50 Best Restaurants 2025 list. Book for summer evenings on 26 952525.

For other places to eat in the district, see our Paphos restaurant guide.

What about Ayia Napa and Protaras?

Many restaurants there are seasonal and close between November and March, so check before you go in winter.

Tips for pizza in Cyprus

1. Order direct when you can. Delivery apps are convenient but add fees, and app prices can be higher than in the restaurant. Our food delivery guide explains the main apps.
2. Eat Neapolitan pizza straight away. The soft centre goes soggy in a box within minutes; if it is a delivery, choose a crisper style.
3. Go early to no-booking places. Small pizzerias with a short menu can sell out of dough on busy nights.
4. Ask about vegan and gluten-free. Vegan is easy (a marinara has no cheese); gluten-free is rarer, because most small ovens cannot avoid cross-contamination.
5. Children love it. A pizza night is the easiest family dinner out; our family-friendly restaurants guide lists places with play areas.
6. Make it at home. Cypriot supermarkets sell Italian 00 flour, tinned San Marzano-style tomatoes and fresh mozzarella; our supermarkets guide explains where to shop.
