Pizza Restaurants in Beirut

If you’re in Beirut and your stomach’s set on pizza, good news , you won’t be disappointed. The city has this neat mix of traditional pizzerias and new spots putting their own spin on the classic slice. Walk through Gemmayzeh or Mar Mikhael on any evening, and you’ll smell that irresistible blend of melted cheese and freshly baked dough.

Don’t miss out on places like Pino’s in Hamra, where the thin crust and fresh basil hit just right, or Il Forno in Achrafieh, a more laid-back joint known for its perfectly charred edges and seriously good toppings. And look, a lot of these restaurants open late, which is great if you end up out late exploring Beirut's nightlife.

Here’s a little tip: trust the locals when they rave about a pizza spot that’s a bit off the beaten path,head into Mar Elias for some surprisingly great pizza joints where the vibe is super chill and the prices won’t hurt. Oh, and if you’re trying to avoid the crowds during summer, hit up these spots for early dinner before the city heats up. There’s real comfort in a good pizza slice, and in Beirut, it comes with a side of genuine local flavor.
