We love Vienna for its local specialties like crispy “Stelzen ” or juicy “Würstel.” But do you already know the hottest spot for amazing Neapolitan pizza in Vienna’s 6th district? The restaurant Disco Volante on Gumpendorfer Straße combines southern Italian craftsmanship with a chic club vibe. Anyone who stops by here in the evening isn’t just served fantastic food—they also experience a pizzeria concept that appeals to all the senses and combines culinary delight with a party atmosphere.
An oven that catches everyone’s eye
The undisputed centerpiece of the restaurant is the gigantic pizza oven. This “briquette monster” is completely clad in small mirror mosaics and, like a giant disco ball , illuminates the spacious dining area. When the fire blazes inside and the spotlights light up the restaurant, the oven casts glittering reflections of light onto the walls—you’d be hard-pressed to find a better vibe while waiting for your pizza, even in Naples itself.
Minimalist interior and authentic cuisine
The interior has a minimalist design. Simple black tables paired with the design classic “Frankfurter Stuhl,” exposed concrete, and green window frames ensure that the focus remains on the glittering centerpiece and your plates. Culinary-wise, you can expect the finest craftsmanship. The dough is allowed to rise for at least 24 hours, making the crust incomparably light and crispy.
Of course, pizza takes center stage on the menu. You’ll find classics like the Margherita or tuna pizza, but there are also weekly specials that surprise with all kinds of ingredients. Best of all: the prices remain absolutely fair. You can get an excellent salami pizza here for a modest €12.20. Another big plus is the incredibly friendly staff, who work the oven and serve with great passion.
