Piazza di Piccola Napoli is in Keszthely at Kossuth Lajos utca 27, on the pedestrian street. Outside there’s a terrace under the trees with big parasols and wooden tables, inside a bright, modern room with a long bar. Pizzeria and wine bar in one, for the middle of a sightseeing walk.

Pizza and panuozzo

Neapolitan pizza, shaped by hand and baked in the oven, with an airy, blistered crust. For a classic, the Margherita or the Bufala with buffalo mozzarella and San Marzano tomatoes. On a white base, the Burrata with mortadella, ricotta and basil pesto. Don’t skip the panuozzo either: a stuffed Italian sandwich baked from pizza dough, for example with Parma ham and buffalo mozzarella.

There are Italian starters and salads too, and for dessert homemade tiramisu or panna cotta with raspberry. Meat-free there are many pizzas, and the cheese-free Marinara can be vegan. When we checked, a pizza with a drink was 5,000–9,000 HUF, with wine and dessert 8,000–13,000 HUF.

The place

Friendly, youthful, a little romantic. Good with family; kids will love the Margherita. Delivery via Wolt and Foodora too.

Good to know

Several guests reported they couldn’t pay by card, so bring cash or ask in advance. Closed Monday and Tuesday, open until 18:00 on Sunday and 20:00 on other days. Expect waits when busy, and some wrote about over-charred pizza. There’s no parking on the pedestrian street; walk from the paid car parks nearby.

Who it’s for

Anyone who wants to sit down for a good Neapolitan pizza and a glass of wine during a walk around Keszthely. For two, order a pizza and a panuozzo and share them.

What guests say

What stays with guests?

The pizza is the biggest strength: the Neapolitan dough and Italian ingredients get regular praise, as do the terrace and desserts. Opinions on service and payment are more mixed.

This guide is not a guest-review ranking: it is based on the official website, menu, a Wolt listing confirming the address and supplied photographs.
