Pizza Restaurants in Beijing

Pizza in Beijing isn’t all about the usual chains. You’ll find places where dough is hand-tossed daily, and toppings come fresh from local markets. If you ask me, Jing-A Brewery’s pizza nights in Gulou bring a perfect pairing of craft beer and thin, crackly crust with cheeky toppings like Sichuan peppercorn sausage. And over in Sanlitun, there's Homeslice, where the slices are huge and perfect when you don’t want to sit down for hours.

The vibe ranges wildly too , from DIY oven-fired joints tucked in narrow Hutongs to modern, casual eateries with expat chefs. One little secret: on cold Beijing nights, a gooey, cheesy pie from Pizza Bar No. 1 on Wudaoying Hutong hits differently. Want the best bang for your buck? Try grabbing a late-night slice around Workers’ Stadium after the bars close. It’s a scene only locals know. Don’t be afraid to ask for a recommendation from your server – sometimes the specials aren’t on the menu, especially in smaller places. Pizza in Beijing can surprise you with unexpected flavors if you’re open to giving a local spin a chance.

Pizza hunting tips for Beijing

If you want a slice of real Beijing pizza culture, skip the international chains and hunt down neighborhood spots near Gulou or Wudaoying Hutong. That’s where you’ll find locals grabbing a quick slice or sharing a whole pie over craft beers. And heads-up: many pizza places here get busy on weekends, so I recommend arriving early or calling ahead. Trying regional twists like toppings with Chinese sausage or local peppers can make your pizza experience more memorable. Also, don’t overlook pizza trucks or pop-ups during night markets,they sometimes serve up surprisingly good pies fresh from mobile ovens.

One last thing: Beijing’s dry climate means dough can sometimes feel a bit different than at home, so don’t hesitate to ask for a recommendation on crust thickness or special house toppings.

Frequently Asked Questions

Got questions about finding good pizza in Beijing? I’ve got you covered.

For something close to a wood-fired Neapolitan style, try Pizza Bar No. 1 near Wudaoying Hutong. They fire pies in a real oven and the crust really crisps up. It’s not fancy, but it nails that smoky flavor you’re after.

Absolutely. Places like Jing-A Brewery in Gulou experiment with local ingredients, like Peking duck pizza or Sichuan peppercorn-infused sausage. It’s a fun way to enjoy pizza with a Beijing twist.

It depends on where you go. Many independent spots offer great slices for about 30-50 RMB. Higher-end restaurants and those in expat-heavy areas like Sanlitun can cost more, but the quality usually matches the price.

More places are catching on. Homeslice in Sanlitun has vegan cheese and gluten-free crust options. Small cafes in places like 798 Art District sometimes offer these too, but it’s always good to call ahead.

Weekday evenings, especially right when places open for dinner, tend to be quieter. If you come later,around 9 or 10 pm,some spots, especially near bars or clubs, fill up fast with locals and expats winding down.
