Gumpendorfer Str. 38, 1060 Wien, Austria · Pizza restaurant · 4.8/5 Google (728 reviews)

Reservations · Takeout · Outdoor seating

Lively Neapolitan-style pizzeria with airy crusts, fast bakes, and fair prices; great pies but inconsistent service and occasional bake issues mean experiences can vary.

Why it gets a B+ for overall quality

SoulPizza delivers competitive neighborhood pizza with solid food quality anchored by light, airy crusts and fresh toppings when execution lands. However, inconsistent baking—burnt bottoms and dry pies reported repeatedly—prevents higher grades, as does uneven service with occasional rudeness and missed orders. Fair pricing and a warm, bustling atmosphere make it a worthwhile local choice, though not a citywide destination.

Restaurant Summary

The room feels warm and bustling with a view of the oven and music at a pleasant volume. Guests praise the airy crust and quick bakes, though a few note charred bottoms or slow moments. One diner said, "we were seated quickly and the pies arrived fast," while others found service uneven at times with missed orders or brusque interactions. Cooking skews classic Neapolitan with a traditional-first approach: Margherita and Diavola anchor the menu, while house specials like the Soul pizza (meatballs, parmesan cream) and the pesto-led Dolce Verde add gentle twists. When the bake hits, the crust is light and elastic with clean tomato flavors; critics cite occasional dryness or sparse toppings. Expect fair prices and a lively neighborhood vibe rather than high ceremony—ideal if you want quality pizza without fuss. Families should do well here. The menu has kid-friendly staples like Margherita (€10.50) and Marinara (€9.00), plus mild white pies and simple desserts like tiramisu. There is no stated kids menu, and seating can be tight outside, but for most families the familiar flavors and price point make it an easy choice.
