San Carlo

San Carlo has established itself as the gold standard for Neapolitan pizza in Prague over the past decade, growing from a single location to a beloved network of seven restaurants across the city, each sharing the same philosophy of authentic Italian cuisine crafted from the finest ingredients. The Dittrichova branch in the New Town, situated close to the famous Dancing House, is among the most popular, offering the full San Carlo experience in a cosy and genuinely Italian atmosphere. The restaurant’s heart is its Neapolitan pizza, made with hand-stretched dough using a long cold fermentation process, cooked in traditional stone ovens, and topped with a careful balance of quality San Marzano tomatoes, buffalo mozzarella, and seasonal ingredients. The resulting crust is slightly charred at the edges, light, airy, and full of flavour in the way that Neapolitan pizza is meant to be. Beyond pizza, the menu includes soups, antipasti, pasta dishes, and a rotating selection of Mediterranean main courses. The restaurant has earned the prestigious Ospitalità Italiana certification, awarded to restaurants outside Italy that best represent authentic Italian hospitality and culinary tradition. The wine list features a strong selection of Italian labels from multiple regions, and the staff are genuinely enthusiastic and knowledgeable about the food they serve. San Carlo is family-friendly, well priced, and justifiably popular.
