Imagine sun-drenched streets of Naples, the aroma of fresh herbs in the air, and the warm crackling of wood burning in a traditional oven. This is the world we bring to the heart of Prague.

At Papaiolo, we believe great cooking is built on simple things: quality ingredients, traditional recipes, and a passion for craft. Our wood-fired stone oven, heated to over 450 °C, is not just kitchen equipment, it is the heart of our culinary project. Here, traditional dough transforms into the perfect balance of crispy crust and tender crumb, crowned with first-rate ingredients.

But Papaiolo is more than just pizza. In our kitchen, you'll find authentic Italian pasta prepared according to traditional recipes, fresh mozzarella, and other specialties that transport you directly to Naples. Complemented by Italian wines, beer, spirits and coffee specialties that complete every experience.

We opened less than a year ago, and we're already eager to share our journey with you. Every day we learn, experiment, and perfect our craft. This journey brings us to a deeper understanding of Italian cuisine, to encounters with our guests, and to nurturing the passion that connects us all.

This blog is our invitation to you. Here, we'll share the secrets of our kitchen – why we choose specific ingredients, how a perfect pizza comes to life, what our favorite combinations are, and the story behind every recipe. We'll take you on a journey through Italian history, regional specialties, and culinary tips you can try at home.

Welcome to Papaiolo, where tradition, craft, and passion meet on one plate.

Buon appetito! 🍕
