Safran Pizza - Kebap, Persian restaurant and pizzeria in Donaustadt, Austria
Safran Pizza - Kebap is a restaurant in Vienna's Donaustadt district that serves both Persian and Italian food. The menu covers classic pizzas on one side and Persian dishes such as kebap on the other, kept as two separate offerings.
The restaurant opened as part of a wave of Persian eateries that established themselves in Vienna's outer districts. Pairing it with a pizzeria followed a pattern seen in many immigrant-run restaurants in the city.
The name of the place brings together two worlds: saffron, a spice closely tied to Persian cooking, and pizza, a staple of Italian tradition. Guests can order from both sides of the menu without having to choose one over the other.
The restaurant is in Donaustadt and is generally open at midday and in the evening. Online ordering is available, and the place works for solo diners as well as small groups.
The name Safran refers to saffron, a spice that has been central to Persian cooking for centuries and is one of the most expensive spices in the world by weight. Seeing it paired with pizza on the same sign captures something of the everyday creativity behind this kind of restaurant.
