A destination-worthy Antakalnis pizzeria offering excellent wood-fired Neapolitan-style pizza at €9.50–15, with tiny seating and occasional wait or bake-quality variability making takeaway and off-peak visits sensible.
Pi77a stands out for exceptional wood-fired pizza, with praised crusts and quality ingredients drawing loyal repeat visits. Occasional reports of rubbery or overbaked pizza and a small, crowded indoor space keep it just short of the very top tier. Its courtyard setting in Antakalnis adds local character, though it is less convenient than central Vilnius.
Pi77a is the kind of small Antakalnis find people happily cross town for: a wood-fired oven, warm service and the smell of pizza doing much of the welcoming. Reviewers describe a cozy, relaxed setting and repeatedly call the pizzas among Vilnius's best. The catch is spatial rather than culinary—seating is limited, and busy visits can stretch into a long wait. The cooking is recognizably Neapolitan in spirit but not timid: classics sit beside pizzas with pear and Gorgonzola, nduja and artichokes, or a constantly changing weekly special. The menu confirms a very accessible €9.50–15 range, making the creative toppings unusually good value. Eat in when possible; several reviews suggest courier delivery can turn a crisp, airy crust rubbery. Families are welcome, and the menu has genuinely child-friendly choices such as Margherita, Prosciutto and Pepperoni. One reviewer specifically reports an eight-year-old enthusiastically eating several slices, while another mentions a high chair and toys. The small room may be awkward with a stroller or large group, but for a family willing to arrive early—or take pizza home—this is a strong choice.
Area vibe: Residential, green, and relaxed district with historic villas and student presence.
Safety: Generally safe, quiet streets with good evening lighting and comfortable for walking.
What's nearby: Near the Neris River, VU Botanical Garden, Vilnius University campuses, and public transport along Antakalnis avenue.
Expect limited seating and potentially long waits, while takeaway is often safer for preserving the crust than delivery.
It feels like a warm Antakalnis neighborhood pizzeria, with an open kitchen and courtyard setting balanced by a very small interior.
