Best Pizza in Siena Under €20 a Person

# Best Pizza in Siena Under €20 a Person

Siena is not an expensive city to eat in — if you know where to go. For pizza, the bar is even lower: €20 a head is enough for a full meal in a place locals actually use.

Our top pick: La Napoletana 2.0

€12–16 per pizza. Beer or soft drink €3–5. Total: rarely over €20 per person.

Viale Sardegna 37, about 10 minutes on foot from the historic center (or easy parking outside the walls). It is a working-class, no-frills pizzeria with a wood-fired oven, a 48-hour fermented dough, and a spot in the 50 Top Pizza Italian ranking. Locals from every contrada go there. So do students. So do families.

You don't dress up. You don't reserve a "table experience." You order a pizza, eat it hot, and leave full.

What to order: the margherita (€8.50) is the test of any Neapolitan pizzeria — La Napoletana passes it. The signature mortadella + fiordilatte + pistachio pesto (~€14) is the one you'll talk about later.

Why under €20 matters

In Siena's center, a "tourist pizza" with a drink near Piazza del Campo can run €25–30 — for noticeably worse pizza. Walking ten extra minutes saves money *and* gets you better food. That's the trade most travelers don't realize they're making.

Other budget-friendly options

• Pizzeria Il Campo — Roman-style by-the-slice in the center. €4–6 a slice. Fine for a quick lunch, not a destination dinner.
• L'Oro di Napoli — Stricter Neapolitan style, similar price band. Smaller space, books up fast.

Local tip

If you're a couple, share a starter (fritti misti ~€8) plus one pizza each and a half-litre of house beer. You'll walk out for under €40 total. Try matching that anywhere in Florence.
