MONALIZZA — Restaurant in Budapest

If you want Neapolitan pizza, and I mean Neapolitan, you’ve come to the right place. We were looking for traditional Neapolitan pizza in our neighborhood after having returned from Naples. They did an excellent job. You can tell they did their homework. The dough is soft and tender. The ingredients are balanced and complement each other rather than compete and over power. They get the simplicity right. The flavor is light. The portion size is correct ~13 inches. I was even impressed with the choice of plating! They use corrugated cardboard which preserves the heat while allowing the pizza to breathe. Porcelain kills the pizza by cooling it too quickly. The crust is like freshly baked bread. Perfect for swiping at the rogue tomato, or dripping sauce. The cooking time was about 90 seconds and in a hotter burning oven! I was checking my watch to see how close they adhere to Neapolitan standards. I’m thoroughly impressed by their commitment and research of the technique and execution. The only minor difference in authenticity is the lack of cutlery to eat the pizza. But hey, that’s what hands are for and it doesn’t personally bother me. The point of cutlery is to prevent eating too many of the ingredients at once which can disrupt the balance of flavors. Otherwise, I just wish they had some Czech Pilsner or Peroni because that would make it perfect. 4/5 stars is near impeccable, but to be a 5/5 you have to be the best. For that, you need to get your pizza from Napoli! We will definitely be returning to this pizzeria to get a taste of Naples. Thank you very much. The service is excellent by the way. Kind young folks. The price is very decent at 2,000 - 4,000 per pizza. The classic marinara and margarita are on the lower end and the other italian styles are on the higher end of the price bracket. The atmosphere is clean, young,...

This pizza place is absolutely phenomenal! From the moment you walk in, the aroma of freshly baked dough and perfectly blended spices hits you, and you know you’re in for a treat. The staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming, making the whole experience even better.

But the star of the show? THE PIZZA. Wow! The crust is that perfect balance of crispy and chewy, and the toppings are so fresh and flavorful that every bite feels like a slice of heaven. Whether you go for a classic margherita, a loaded supreme, or one of their creative specialty options, you can’t go wrong.

Their attention to detail is unmatched, and they even cater to dietary preferences without compromising on taste. Pair your pizza with their garlic knots or a side salad, and you’ve got yourself the perfect meal.

I’ve been to a lot of pizza places, but this one stands out as my all-time favorite. If you’re in the area, do yourself a favor and stop by—you’ll be hooked after...

I recently had the opportunity to try Monalizza's authentic Neapolitan Margherita pizza, and the toppings were absolutely delicious! The fresh basil, ripe tomatoes, and high-quality mozzarella cheese combined to create a flavor explosion in every bite. While the dough was a bit chewy for my preference, it was still enjoyable. Overall, I would rate the pizza a solid 4 out of 5 stars.

The only downside to my experience was the restaurant's interior. The ambiance felt a bit unpolished and could use some improvement. The décor seemed somewhat disorganized, but I'm confident that the owners will address this issue in the future. Despite this minor drawback, I still rated the restaurant 4 out of 5 stars based on the quality...
