About Pizzeria Lav

There’s an inviting buzz that pervades the air at Pizzeria Lav, where the scent of fresh dough and bubbling cheese mingles effortlessly with the casual, unpretentious atmosphere. Dim lighting and rustic décor complement the lively chatter, making it an easy spot for a relaxed meal. While the service moves at a comfortable pace, attentive without feeling rushed, the floor staff seem knowledgeable and eager to discuss recommendations beyond the usual. Browsing through the varied menu unveils a thoughtful balance of classic toppings and local flavors, reflecting the influences of the surrounding region. Occasional glimpses at Pizzeria Lav photos online confirm that the presentation of dishes leans toward hearty and straightforward rather than overly polished, matching the overall approach.

The pizza itself is the undeniable centerpiece, with crusts that strike a respectable balance between chewiness and crispness, hinting at a wood-fired oven tradition. A particular highlight is the signature pie featuring smoked ham and seasonal vegetables, demonstrating a willingness to venture beyond pepperoni and margherita standards. However, some might find the toppings somewhat sparing compared to other pizzerias prized for their generous heaps. Feedback scattered among Pizzeria Lav reviews often praises the freshness of ingredients, though a few point out uneven cooking times that occasionally affect the cheese melt consistency. These quirks do little to overshadow the straightforward enjoyment provided by the dishes, especially when paired with moderately priced house wines or local craft brews.

Despite being often referenced in travel forums, the Pizzeria Lav restaurant charts a modest course amid Budva’s vibrant culinary scene, appealing mostly to those prioritizing honest food over elaborate ambiance. It may not boast extensive gluten-free or vegan alternatives, which might limit options for some dietary preferences. Still, its accessible location at 16 Iva Mikovica ensures easy arrival for both locals and tourists. For those scoping out menus beforehand, the online resources offer a reliable, though somewhat limited, glimpse into what can be expected, perfect for those comparing several eateries in advance. Overall, it maintains a consistent presence – neither overly flashy nor lacking in charm – holding its own through simplicity and tradition.

The pizzas were really delicious. We ordered Montenegro 2 and 4. The atmosphere is wonderful and it's a lovely family business. If you're looking for quality food in Budva, you should definitely try it. If we're ever in the area again, we'll definitely stop by.

The pizza was really good but it was just a lot. The pizza is very cheesy, which I love but in this hot weather a whole pizza was just too much for me. The waiter was really friendly, I’m just a little sad that I asked for no olives on the pizza and still had olives on it. But I get it, he was super busy, the place was crowded and he was alone. Still not very long waiting time for everything and the atmosphere is amazing.

The best pizza we’ve ever had so far! Everything was just so perfect - soft dough, lots of cheese, sauce and seafood! Many thanks to the waiter Ognjen, who put his entire heart into giving us recommendations. The staff is friendly and easy-going, we loved every second in Pizzeria Lav, and we will definitely come again during our vacation! Thank you for your hospitality! Дякуємо за гостинність! ????????

Wow. I have never seen a waiter work as hard as the young gentleman who served us at this pizzeria. He was on his own, serving multiple tables during a very busy period. He made us feel very welcome, and was literally running around to make sure everyone was looked after. He was smiling and polite and attentive - first class customer service. The food was great too, stunning simple pizzas, fresh salad and cold drinks. And the venue even though it was in a very busy part of Budva old town felt intimate quiet and very cool. And… the prices seemed very cheap for such a touristy part of town. I could not recommend this place more, and if the waiter gets to read this - thank you! You made our last night of our holiday feel very special indeed.

Pizzeria Lav — walking through Old Town, craving pizza. In Budva it’s everywhere, so it’s hard to be surprised. But then we saw a bold sign: "The Best Pizza in Budva." We gave it a try — and honestly, it really was the best pizza of our trip. Thin, crispy crust. Generous toppings, full of flavor. Best part? You can mix and match ingredients from different pizzas — they’re happy to customize. Highly recommend the Montenegro 1, 2, 3, 4 series — each has its own twist. Add a bottle of wine — perfect combo. Friendly waiter, clearly proud of their pizza — and rightly so. We cleaned our plates. They open after 4 PM — but trust me, it’s worth the wait. If you love pizza like the Ninja Turtles do — this is the spot. Lav delivers flavor, soul, and a slice of joy.

Probably the best pizzeria in Old Budva. Silent, discreet place with nice atmosphere. Places to sit outside, in the yard, and inside the pizzeria. Prices are more than fair, service polite and on point. Ordered 2 big pizzas, both tasted incredible and came out quick. Also pastas in the menu. Nice choice of local and foreign beers, wines and other hot and cold drinks. Kids friendly. Highly recommended.

Great pizza with great service! I’m glad I trusted the server’s recommendation and went for the “Montenegro 2” pizza, really happy about how it turned out. Finished the entire pizza on my own highly recommend this place.
