Ristorante • Pizzeria Giovanni, Italian pizzeria in Prague 1, Czech Republic.
Ristorante Pizzeria Giovanni is an Italian pizzeria in Prague 1, close to the historic center of the Czech capital. The place serves pizza alongside other Italian dishes in a sit-down dining room with space for both small and larger groups.
Italian restaurants started appearing in Prague after 1989, when the city opened to outside influences and new types of dining. Giovanni is part of that wave of Italian-run or Italian-inspired places that found a home in the Czech capital.
The pizzeria sits close to Charles Bridge, one of the most visited spots in the city, drawing both tourists and locals. The menu reflects how Italian food has become a familiar dining choice in Prague over the years.
The restaurant is in Prague 1 and easy to reach on foot from the main sights of the old town. During busy summer months, coming early for lunch or later in the evening tends to mean less waiting.
Giovanni uses a wood-fired oven that reaches the very high temperatures needed for Neapolitan-style pizza, cooking each base in just a few minutes. This gives the crust a soft center and a lightly charred edge that is different from most pizzas found elsewhere in the city.
