The biggest
Tucked away at the Berthold Centre, the Oversize pizza club captured the hearts of locals and tourists alike with their monstrous, nearly two-kilo-heavy pizzas that are just as filling as they are exciting. Carbonara, BBQ, or even tom yum, the pizzeria serves up a range of gourmet toppings that you can conveniently have all on one pizza for a ridiculously imaginative combo. The rumors have it that if you eat this behemoth of a pizza on your own within 20 minutes or less, you won’t have to pay for it. As they say, you won’t know until you try.
Where: Grazhdanskaya St. 13-15
The craziest
While the world’s having an endless debate over pineapple on pizza, the Krang Pizza crew are making pizzas with mini-burgers, Cheetos, or marshmallows – and feeling good about it. Aside from controversial pizza toppings, the club has its heart in all things 90s: old-school video games and legendary arcade machines, neon lights and graffiti, and, of course, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (hence NY-style pizzas and mutagen).

Whether you're a vegan or not, Stay Gold is a top-notch pizzeria to stop by for a bite.

The most Italian
With its authentic cuisine, 22 cm brings a slice of Italy right to the heart of St. Petersburg. The restaurant is best known for its classical small-sized pizzas made Naples-style: a simple-yet-perfect dough with nothing but flour, yeast, salt, and water put into a traditional wood-fired oven – mmm yummy!
