After a long day of meetings capped with a long drive to Hannover, we sought a quick and easy dinner near our hotel and landed on Panu Pizza. I’ve been impressed with just how consistently good the pizza is in Europe, outside of Italy, so I’m always happy to land on a spot for cozy,…

Vesuvio Pizzeria
This past weekend we decided to check out a new village which meant a new funny Swiss locals bar followed by dinner at Vesuvio Pizzeria. The restaurant is fairly non descript and won’t be the most romantic date night you’ve ever had, but the staff is friendly and the food is incredible! Plus, who doesn’t…
Napoli on the Road- Chiswick
When you’re through London a lot, like very often a lot, and learn that the best pizza place in Europe (outside of Italy) is in the city… well, first you think, Brexit be damned! Then you think, we MUST go there. We opted for the Chiswick location and were glad we had a reservation. The…
Pizzeria Weekend- Moncalvo
After a few nights of upscale meals that were good , but not great, we wanted something simple. So, on a whim we found Pizzeria Weekend. The staff seemed enamored by the gentleman so allowed us a last minute reservation at a prime table outside. Oh la la! We opted to share a sausage pizza…
Taverna del Pappagallo- Stresa
Craving a pizza and seeing the line at the clearly loved Taverna del Pappagallo, I managed to squeak in for an early lunch reservation the next day. As the restaurant was parrot themed for some reason, it felt right to sit on the terrace that blended the in and outdoors well. The pizza that I’d…
La Croix Verte- Nyon
It never ceases to amaze me that personal sized pizzas are something like $25-$45 in Switzerland. While I’ve gotten accustomed to doubled housing costs, higher grocery bills, a thousand different types of taxes, the pizza cost still blows my mind, maybe the most. You can drive over the border and have a delightful pie for…
Osteria Tommy & Ketty- Ascona
Ah, Tommy and Ketty, I just love your names. I appreciate your responding to me that I couldn’t dine with you over the holiday weekend as you were full, which made me that much more determined to do so- so I did. Your pizzas get a lot love online and I just had to know…
Molina Pizza- Geneva
As a professional nomad these days, it probably should go without saying that the first meal in any new place must be pizza. Easily transportable, Saturday night treat. This last move proved just the same and happened as Geneva was moving themselves. Into lockdown. Again. After trying to order from two (closed) gourmet pizza restos,…
Pizza Leggera
After a 14.5 mile hike and barely eating, do you even care what your dinner is? Absolutely, you do not. These are the times that you are basically obligated to dine at the restaurant in your building- for me, this was Pizza Leggera. I’d tried this joint once before and accidentally ordered a super weird…
Slice Lausanne
Quarantine cooking with no pantry has proved ‘intersting.’ The two proper meals I’ve made have been downright bad. My main focus these days is omlettes and salads. How am I going to cook for my imaginary French dinner parties?? After a really disappointing meal Friday, I needed a redemption on Saturday and that would be…
Cecconi’s Shoreditch
Tucked off of the lobby of Redchurch Townhouse in Shoreditch is London’s second outpost of Cecconi’s. I’d visited the Miami outpost once and wasn’t wowed by it, but the prospect of room service Neapolitan pizza was very intriguing. I’d actually made a reservation for their “Sunday Feast” where they turn the bar into a buffet…
Bæst
Baest was a Beast. A beast of a pizza institution in Copenhagen. They have their own organic farm. They make their own cheese. They have a Relae chef affiliation. Setting the bar quite high, but after coming off of Pizzeria Giro, the bar was sky high. The restaurant had a cool, casual vibe. I was…
