Pizza Marinara

Authentic thin-crust pizza in a tiny Old Town room

Pizza Marinara earns its rave reviews the old-fashioned way: authentic, thin-crust Italian pizza made with high-quality, fresh ingredients on a crispy base that diners often hail as the best in Vilnius. Set at Vokiečių g. 14 in the Old Town, the room is cosy and intimate, with Italian music playing and flavoured chilli and truffle olive oils on the tables — small touches that make it feel like a genuine slice of Italy.

Pizzas are generously sized and easily shared between two, and the menu runs the classics — Margherita, Pepperoni, an Nduja pizza and a Calzone — finished with a well-loved Tiramisu. Service is friendly and polite, but the defining feature is space: this is a very small pizzeria with only a handful of tables, so it fills quickly.

Good to know

With so few tables, booking in advance is highly recommended, especially in the evenings and at weekends. If you can't get a seat, takeaway is a popular alternative — the pizzas travel well and are large enough to share. Some visitors note prices sit on the higher side, which fits the focus on quality ingredients and a true Italian style.

Come for the dough, the oils and the buzz of a small, characterful room rather than a quiet dinner for a crowd. Confirm current opening hours and the latest menu on the venue's own channels before you go, as a small pizzeria adjusts these seasonally.

• Book ahead: it's very small, with only a few tables.
• On the tables: flavoured chilli and truffle olive oils.
