It was Márk Takács and his family, successful bakers from Miskolc, north-east Hungary, who rolled their street-food van into Szentendre to offer Neapolitan-style pizzas. As they sold like hot cakes, they decided to move into Budapest, their fixed outlet located at a prime spot near the Opera House.
Circo Pizza sticks to its remit of providing Neapolitan-style pizzas (HUF 1,600-3,200), with nothing extra and nothing over-thought, just the best dough and quality ingredients on top.
The idea is to start serving pastries with breakfast coffee – Bagira light-roasted – from 9am, then pizzas from 11am. To accompany, there are natural wines from the Lees Brothers’ ever-expanding selection.
