Halloween fun in Vienna: Free dessert for Toni Polster costumes!

At the Pizzeria il Rione, located in Vienna's Liesing district, things will be really spooky and festive at the same time on October 31, 2025: Halloween will be celebrated with a special promotion in which guests in costumes can win a delicious free dessert. Anyone who dresses up as the popular character Toni Polster or as a pizzaiolo will receive a free dessert during their visit, says managing director Gaetano Brancato, who comments on the campaign with a humorous wink. The idea is not only intended to take up the traditions of the festive evening, but also to take guests into the colorful world of Italian cuisine.

Since opening in 2022, Pizzeria il Rione has made a name for itself by offering authentic Neapolitan pizza. These culinary delights are baked in a brand new copper oven at 485°C, whereby the pizza dough matures for an intensive 48 hours and only high-quality ingredients from Italy are used. The pizzaiolos, who learned their craft directly in Naples, guarantee that every bite brings a piece of Italy to the plate.

Celebration atmosphere on Halloween

On Halloween evening, guests can expect not only a delicious pizza selection, but also Italian music and costume highlights. In a festive atmosphere, guests can enjoy the evening from 11:30 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. at Geßlgasse 10, 1230 Vienna.

Halloween itself has a long history, dating back to ancient Celtic harvest festivals. Originally celebrated on November 1st, Samhain was a significant festival in which people believed that the souls of the dead could visit the living on that day. To protect themselves from evil spirits, people dressed up or offered them food. These traditions have changed over time while maintaining the spirit of celebrating the dead. Around a quarter of annual candy sales in the United States occur this season, which shows just how fun the evening is.

The religious aspects of Halloween are also fascinating. Although the Bible does not specifically address Halloween, principles can be found that apply to the holiday. Philippians 4:8 encourages us to think about things that are noble and praiseworthy. Overall, Halloween is a celebration of both shadow and light, and Pizzeria il Rione offers a perfect opportunity to enjoy the bright facets of this celebration.

So if you want to enjoy Halloween in great company and with a slightly different approach, Pizzeria il Rione is the right place for you on October 31st. With delicious pizza, Italian music and the opportunity to dress up elegantly, this evening is sure to be an unforgettable experience!
