    35 people recommend, 3 warn against it

    Gusto's in Subhanpura is one of the most-recommended pizza places in Vadodara, with many people naming it as their pick for pizza and several praising its authentic Italian taste. One diner calls it the best non-veg pizza in a mostly vegetarian city, and a couple of commenters describe it as Neapolitan-style, with one noting it is a bit pricey.

  2. 2.22nd Parallel, Alembic

    32 people recommend, 2 warn against it

    22nd Parallel is a South Indian restaurant in Vadodara that many people recommend, often naming it alongside Cafe Bengaluru and Hotel Sudha as a go-to option.
