Best Pizza in Siena: 5 Pizzerias Ranked (2026)

Siena is not a pizza city by reputation — but a handful of pizzerias here genuinely compete with Naples and Rome. After dozens of visits across two years, this is how we rank them for an American or British traveler with one or two pizza nights in town.

Quick answer

The best pizza in Siena is at La Napoletana 2.0, a 50 Top Pizza-recognised Neapolitan pizzeria a 10-minute walk from the historic centre, where pizzas run €12–16 and a full dinner lands around €25. Inside the walls, Pizzeria del Buongustaio and Pizzeria San Martino are the two dependable choices; the pizzerias directly on Piazza del Campo are the ones to skip.

The ranking

1. La Napoletana 2.0 — Viale Sardegna 37

Wood-fired Neapolitan dough, recognized by 50 Top Pizza (the Italian industry benchmark). Pizzas €12–16, full dinner around €25. The signature pie — mortadella, fiordilatte and pistachio pesto — is the one almost every regular orders. It is a 10-minute walk outside the historic center, which is exactly why the room is full of locals rather than coach groups.

2. Pizzeria del Buongustaio

Old-school Sienese pizzeria, thin and crispy, family-run. No frills, dependable, often packed on weekends.

3. Pizzeria San Martino

Inside the walls, useful if you don't want to leave the center. Solid Neapolitan-leaning dough, slightly touristed prices.

4. Hosteria Il Carroccio (pizza menu)

Primarily a trattoria, but the wood-fired pizza here surprises people. Worth combining with a Tuscan secondo.

5. Pizzerie around Piazza del Campo

Generally avoid. Visible, convenient, mediocre. You pay tourist prices for forgettable pies.

Local tip

If you only have one pizza night, La Napoletana 2.0 is the call. Reserve — they fill fast Thursday through Sunday. From the center it's a flat 10-minute walk down Viale Sardegna, or a €7 taxi.
