Die Pizzerei is a wood-fired Italian restaurant at Bozner Platz 6 in the Innsbruck city centre (Innere Stadt / Wilten border, Austria), serving pizza, pasta and risotto built on ingredients and wines hand-selected in Italy and South Tyrol. Travelers come for its stylish dining room, the glowing Holzofen (wood-fired oven) and a continuous hot kitchen on a square that has long marked the gateway between Innsbruck and the Brenner route south.
What to Expect at Die Pizzerei
The kitchen is organised around its wood-fired oven, which produces the pizzas the restaurant is best known for. The menu leans on the pantry of northern Italy: the restaurant states that its ingredients and wines are chosen by hand in Italy and neighbouring South Tyrol, which gives the cooking a clear Alpine-meets-Mediterranean character that suits Innsbruck’s position just north of the Brenner Pass. The listing describes the room as a sharp, modern outfit, a more polished setting than a typical neighbourhood pizza counter.
Service runs on two menus: a lunch card (Mittagskarte) and an evening card (Abendkarte), both published on the official website. The kitchen is described as “durchgehend warm,” meaning hot food is available all day rather than only in set service windows, which is useful in a city where many traditional kitchens close between lunch and dinner. Italian-style pasta and risotto sit alongside the pizzas for diners who want something beyond the oven.
- Holzofen pizza: Pizzas baked in a wood-fired oven, the signature of the house and the main reason locals and visitors book a table.
- Pasta and risotto: Italian classics on the menu alongside the pizzas, prepared with ingredients sourced in Italy and South Tyrol.
- Italian and South Tyrolean wines: A wine list built from bottles hand-picked in Italy and Südtirol, a natural pairing for the oven-fired dishes.
- Separate lunch and evening menus: A Mittagskarte for midday and an Abendkarte for dinner, both viewable online before you go.
- All-day hot kitchen: Warm food is served continuously within opening hours, which helps late lunchers and early diners.

Visiting Tips, Getting There & Nearby Pairings
Reserve ahead, particularly for Friday and Saturday evenings and for Sunday dinner, when the restaurant opens only at 17:30. Reservations can be made through the official website, by email at [email protected], or by phone on +43 512 583796. A booking page is also linked from the venue’s listing at Quandoo. Note that the restaurant is closed on public holidays, so check the calendar before planning a festive-season visit.
Bozner Platz sits at the edge of the compact city centre, so most visitors arrive on foot from the Hauptbahnhof or the Altstadt. Innsbruck’s city-centre streets are largely level, which helps wheelchair and stroller users, but ask the restaurant directly about step-free entry and table layout before arriving, as these details are not published online. Within a 5 to 15 minute walk you can reach the Goldenes Dachl and the medieval Altstadt, the Hofburg imperial palace, and Maria-Theresien-Strasse with its views toward the Nordkette mountains, all easy additions to a meal here.
