Without further ado: one of the best restaurants in the world with a pizzeria is located in Lisbon: it is called Come Prima, it belongs to the renowned Chef Tanka Sapkota, also known for offering one of the best pizzas in the world in 2025, and has been operating in the city for 26 years.
Come Prima is also the only representative on this list of the 70 best places to enjoy Italian food, according to the prestigious guide “70 Best Restaurants with Pizzeria in the World.”
The select group of global elite
The distinction was officially announced in Rimini, Italy, placing Chef Tanka Sapkota’s restaurant in a very select group at a global level. This is also the first time that a Portuguese restaurant has been included in this guide, which selects establishments where structured cuisine coexists in harmony with pizza of excellence.
This is because, unlike other guides that focus solely on the quality of the pizzas, this recognition values culinary identity, innovation, and the high technical quality of contemporary Italian cuisine.
For Chef Tanka Sapkota,
Seeing Come Prima included among the 70 best restaurants in the world is a recognition that goes far beyond a project. This award shows that when you work with truth, commitment, and team spirit, the results come naturally. Come Prima is made up of people, stories, and a lot of daily work, and this international recognition gives us even more motivation to continue growing . It represents years of work, dedication, and passion for cooking, and confirms that it is possible to create projects with identity, quality, and international ambition without losing their essence. It is an award that I share with everyone who is part of this journey.”
26 years of history in Lisbon
Come Prima has been open for more than two decades, 26 years to be precise, and has made a name for itself in the Portuguese capital for its authenticity and technical rigor, focusing on the value of the product and a contemporary approach to Italian classics.
Located in the “heart” of Lapa, Come Prima reaffirms itself as the “sanctuary” of Italian cuisine in Lisbon (if not in Portugal), defining itself as one of the best places to taste the authenticity of Italian cuisine, now proven by this further distinction.
Other great secrets, in addition to those already mentioned in Chef Tanka Sapkota’s statement, are his dishes with white and black truffles, making this place a must-visit destination for true foodies of this delicacy.
