Local Korner – The pizza experience

PIZZA, PIZZA, PIZZA

The cuisine of Italy is world-famous. We owe them one of the most renowned and beloved dishes of all time: pizza, which has now conquered every continent. The original pizza comes from Naples, and according to legends, the red-white-green colors — tomato sauce, mozzarella, basil — once symbolized the tricolor of the Italian flag.

Italian pizza quickly became popular in Hungary as well, with the first pizzas likely baked in Budapest, right in the city center. The secret of its success lies in its simplicity: it is made quickly and freshly, satisfying, can be ordered with a wide variety of toppings, and offers great value for money. Just like how we make it at Local Korner Astoria!

The pizza chefs at Local Korner Astoria see pizza as a creative, high-quality food: they respect the traditions of Italian cuisine, but at the same time, they approach pizza dough boldly and innovatively, experimenting with flavors, shapes, and toppings. This is how the pizza roll was born at Local Korner Astoria — a novelty that can even be enjoyed while walking down the street. And that's not all: we go against the trend and have made room on our menu for the controversial pineapple-topped Hawaiian pizza. Plus, our Carbonara and Langos pizzas are now available too. We also offer traditional Italian delicacies, such as Cream and Caprese, while vegans can choose from our bruschetta and hearty salads.

LOCAL KORNER ASTORIA

Local Korner Astoria is Hungary’s first pizza pub, located in the heart of Budapest, in the 5th district, just 2 minutes from the Astoria M2 metro stop. But what exactly is a pizza pub?

Local Korner Astoria is a multifunctional venue: on weekdays, it serves as an affordable downtown Italian dine-in restaurant, just a stone’s throw from Váci Street, where you can enjoy 4.7-star rated pizzas, according to Google reviews. We also offer a daily menu, making it possible for university students and locals to enjoy freshly baked Italian pizzas at a discount — almost instantly!

However, on Friday and Saturday nights, we transform to match the vibe of Budapest's nightlife, offering quality Italian coffee, beers, proseccos, ciders, cocktails, shots, and of course, freshly baked pizzas to satisfy the party crowd.

Thanks to our downtown location, we are surrounded by many companies and corporate centers that frequently hold private business events and workshops with us, making us an ideal event venue as well.

Of course, we keep up with trends, so we also offer home delivery through WOLT, in case someone can't leave their workplace or wants to enjoy our Local Korner Astoria pizza specialties from the comfort of their armchair.

We look forward to welcoming everyone!
