Salto Pizzeria Napoletana

The story

Crafted with passion, served with love

Neapolitan Tradition in the Heart of Taipei

Salto Pizzeria Napoletana sits quietly in Lane 524 off Zhongxiao East Road in Xinyi District, bringing one of Italy's most exacting culinary traditions to the Taiwanese capital. The recognition from Gambero Rosso — Italy's most authoritative food and wine guide — places Salto among a select group of Neapolitan pizza destinations worth seeking out beyond Italy's borders.

What the Award Signals

A Gambero Rosso slice award is not handed out casually. The guide holds Neapolitan pizza to strict standards: dough fermentation, the quality of ingredients, oven temperature, and the character of the final crust. That Salto has earned this recognition in Taipei speaks to a serious commitment to doing things the right way, in a city where the competition for discerning diners grows sharper every year.

Worth the Trip

Whether you are a Taipei local or a visitor exploring Xinyi, Salto offers a rare opportunity to experience Neapolitan pizza at a level that Italy's own critics have taken note of. The address — tucked into a lane rather than planted on a main boulevard — gives the place an unhurried feel that suits the slow, careful craft behind a properly made Neapolitan pie.
