The Best Pizzerias in Siena for 2026: An Updated Guide

Finding a good pizza in Siena isn't a given. The city is famous for its Tuscan cuisine—pici, ribollita, Fiorentina steak—and modern pizza has only really arrived in the last fifteen years. Today, however, the options are plentiful: from authentic Neapolitan-style pizza in pure Parthenopean fashion to contemporary pizza with specialty flours, and even pizzerias with electric ovens for those who prefer a drier crust.

This is our selection of the best pizzerias in Siena for 2026, personally updated by our editorial team. We've divided them by style and occasion, so you can find the right one for you in no time.

Neapolitan Pizza in Siena

The Neapolitan style is recognizable by its tall, airy crust (cornicione), soft center, and very quick cooking time in a wood-fired oven (60-90 seconds at 450°C). In Siena, the places that do it well can be counted on one hand.

For us, the top spot goes to La Napoletana 2.0, at Viale Sardegna 37, just a few minutes from the historic center. It has been featured multiple times in the 50 Top Pizza guide and is the address we recommend for those seeking a Neapolitan pizza made just like in Naples: light, well-matured dough, flours from Campania, and cooked in a wood-fired oven. You must try the Margherita STG and the pizza with mortadella, fiordilatte, and pistachio pesto.

The average price is around €12-16 per pizza, with a full menu (pizza + drink + dessert) costing about €25. The place is small, so it's a good idea to book ahead on weekends.

Contemporary and Gourmet Pizza

In recent years, contemporary pizza in Siena has seen some interesting new spots emerge, featuring whole-wheat flours, long fermentation times (48-72 hours), creative toppings, and curated beer/wine pairings. This is the style that works well for a special dinner out: the pizzas are more expensive (€15-22) but showcase great technique.

In this category, some downtown restaurants offer tasting menus with small pizza portions. If you're looking for this type of experience, it's best to book a few days in advance.

Roman-Style Pizza by the Slice (Al Taglio)

Roman pizza—thin, crispy, and baked in a pan—is perfect for a quick lunch or for those on a budget. In Siena, you'll mainly find it as takeout: round by the slice or in a large tray sold "by the meter." It's ideal for eating on the go, for kids, or for anyone wanting to bring it home without spending more than €8-10 per person.

Gluten-Free Pizzerias in Siena

If you have celiac disease or a gluten intolerance, you'll find several pizzerias in Siena with dedicated menus and separate cooking areas to avoid cross-contamination. The selection has grown significantly in recent years, including round pizzas, pizza by the slice, and in some cases, even gluten-free desserts. For a detailed list of places, we recommend our dedicated article on gluten-free pizzerias in Siena (coming soon).

Pizzerias with Outdoor Seating in Siena

In the summer, enjoying a pizza at an outdoor table is practically a must. In Siena, several pizzerias have gardens, terraces, or internal courtyards: some in the historic center, others in residential neighborhoods (Viale Sardegna, Ravacciano, Acquacalda) where the outdoor space is larger. If you're traveling with kids or want a relaxed dinner, this is the best option.

How We Chose
