The story
Bella Napoli has earned its place on the map of serious pizza destinations — not just in Albania, but across the region. The Tirana address has been recognised by Gambero Rosso, Italy's most authoritative food and wine guide, with 2 Slices in its 2026 edition. That distinction, awarded to a select few pizzerias outside Italy, speaks to a standard of Neapolitan pizza that goes well beyond the ordinary.
Gambero Rosso's pizza guide evaluates dough, technique, ingredients and the overall experience with rigorous Italian standards. Earning 2 Slices places Bella Napoli among the better addresses in the broader Mediterranean area — a meaningful credential for anyone seeking genuine Neapolitan pizza in Tirana.
The available detail on the restaurant's own story, menu and team is limited, so rather than fill the page with generalities, the most honest thing to say is this: when an Italian guide of Gambero Rosso's standing singles out a pizzeria in Albania, it is worth the visit. Whether you are a Tirana local or passing through the city, Bella Napoli is the address to note if Neapolitan pizza done right is what you are after.
