Pizza Emirgan

Dubbed Pizza Emirgan by neighborhood residents and regulars, this signless eatery serves up some of Istanbul's best Neapolitan pizza from its wood-fired oven, served at an elongated stool-lined bar or on the three or four tables out front. Pizza master Kadir Aytekin's menu features over 20 creative toppings like burrata sprinkled with cherry jam, beets with goat cheese, and slow cooked ribs. The five breakfast pizzas – including the delicious sucuk and egg pie – are served from 08:30 to 12:30. For dessert, you can opt for the classic Nutella pizza or the moreish tiramisu. Hidden behind the door of the cooler inside the pizzeria is Gizli Kalsın, Emirgan's 'secret' bar and noted celebrity hang-out.
