A look at the neatly charred underside of your pizza at Pizzaria Urca will have you purring with pleasure – and that’s before you’ve sampled the simple perfection of this classic thin-crust São Paulo pie. The joint’s fast, professional service and good value make it a great find for a beer (chopes R$4.30) and pizza close to Paulista. Swerve the industrial-style pudim de leite (flan), order another chope and enjoy the no-frills, family-style atmosphere.
