The story
São Paulo has no shortage of pizzerias, but Gambero Rosso's 2026 recognition of Unica Pizzeria signals something worth seeking out on Rua Gabriele D'Annunzio. The address itself — named after the Italian poet — sets an appropriate tone for a spot where pizza is taken seriously.
Campo Belo is a residential corner of the city, and Unica fits that fabric: unhurried evenings, a focused menu, and a schedule that reflects deliberate pacing rather than volume. The kitchen opens in the early evening, Tuesday through Sunday, closing at a civilised hour — a rhythm that suits a place built around attention to detail rather than turnover.
Earning a slice from Gambero Rosso — the Italian food authority whose ratings carry weight far beyond Italy — is not a casual achievement for a São Paulo pizzeria. It places Unica in a small circle of Brazilian addresses that meet a standard rooted in Italian tradition. For anyone tracing great pizza through the city, that recognition is a reliable signal.
