When you think of top-notch pizza, Italy probably comes to mind first. But wait until you hear what’s happening in Budapest! Dragan Maloševac, an emergency medicine specialist and passionate pizza lover, has tried about a million pizzas worldwide and discovered that in a small pizzeria called Biga, just a ten-minute walk from the Hungarian Parliament, he found something that might change your definition of perfect pizza.
Biga isn’t your average pizzeria. Their secret weapon is a special dough — biga, a type of sourdough that undergoes a long fermentation process, making it incredibly light and easy to digest. This isn’t just another pizza; it’s a pizza with soul and character. With only thirteen pizzas on the menu, each is a little masterpiece, from the purple potato-topped Viola di Montagna to the rich buffalo mozzarella Caprese di Forno.
But it’s not all sunshine and rainbows — the only downside is the tiny space. With just six tables, Biga can serve only about fifteen guests at a time, meaning you might have to wait to get a taste of this delight. Prices are thankfully affordable — pizzas range from 7.60 to 12.30 euros, which is cheaper than in Croatia, and the quality matches the best pizzerias in Budapest.
If you ever thought pizza was just food, think again. Biga proves pizza is an art, and the secret lies in the dough. Next time you’re in Budapest, don’t miss this little pizzeria. And if you’ve been there, share your experience — is biga really better than Neapolitan? Or is it just hype? Drop a comment and let’s see who the real pizza expert is!
