The 9 Best Pizza Places in Ho Chi Minh City

Updated: 29 September 2026

Introduction: The Pizza Scene in Saigon

While Ho Chi Minh City is known for its pho and banh mi, it’s also a great city for pizza. What’s amazing is the variety: Neapolitan, Japanese-Italian, Chicago deep-dish, New York-style and Detroit-style, all within a short ride.

Pizza is one part of the city’s food and nightlife. There are craft breweries offering large pizzas with their beers, one Saigon pizzeria now ranks among the best in Asia-Pacific, and small family-run places are cozy and cheap enough for a weekly visit.

Here are the nine pizzerias I recommend, from the pioneer that put Vietnamese pizza on the world map to neighborhood spots that locals love. The addresses below use the old district names that drivers and locals still know. Since July 2025, Thao Dien has been part of An Khanh ward, and the two pizzerias on Le Thanh Ton Street are now in Saigon ward. For help picking a base, see where to stay in Ho Chi Minh City.

1. Pizza 4P’s: Japanese Innovation & Italian Tradition Meet Here

No list of Saigon’s best pizza places is complete without Pizza 4P’s, widely seen as the pioneer of gourmet pizza in Ho Chi Minh City. Japanese founders Yosuke Masuko and Sanae Takasugi opened the first one in 2011, in a small alley on Le Thanh Ton Street. Fresh mozzarella wasn’t available in Vietnam, so Masuko taught himself to make it. Today they make their own mozzarella and burrata at a cheese facility in Lam Dong province, near Da Lat.

Pizza 4P’s uses a Neapolitan-style crust, which suits its unusual toppings. The signature is the Burrata Parma Ham pizza, and the 2026 menu also has a Teriyaki Chicken pizza and salmon pizzas such as Salmon Miso Cream. The name 4P’s means “Platform of Personal Pizza for Peace.” The original alley restaurant still feels lively, even though 4P’s is now a chain with restaurants in several countries. Booking is highly recommended.

2. Pendolasco: The Place for Timeless Italian Flavors Since ’98

Pendolasco has served Italian food in Saigon since 1998. It started downtown and now serves from a garden villa in Thao Dien. As one of the oldest Italian restaurants in Saigon, it has stayed popular for decades.

Pizzas at Pendolasco are baked in a wood-fired oven and have a lightly charred crust. The menu has Italian classics like the Quattro Stagioni and the Margherita, which go well with a glass of Italian wine or an Aperol Spritz. The garden setting and warm lighting make it a good pick for dates and family dinners.

3. Capone’s Chicago Pizza and Beer: Deep-Dish in Thao Dien

Capone’s in Thao Dien serves Chicago-style deep-dish pizza, a change from the thin-crust pizzas you’ll find at many places around the city. The crust is thick and buttery, filled with plenty of sauce, cheese and toppings. The restaurant takes its name from Al Capone, the Chicago gangster. It also has views towards the Saigon River and Landmark 81.

The pizza from Capone’s is simply massive. Capone’s also serves craft beer, which helps with the richness of a deep-dish pie. For expats looking for authentic American comfort food, or tourists preferring something other than Neapolitan pizzas, this place is a real treat.

4. 7 Bridges Brewing Co.: Pizza & Beer

Being home to one of the best craft beer scenes in Asia, Saigon is also home to some really good pizzas. One place that combines the two perfectly is 7 Bridges. The Da Nang-based brewery has two taprooms in Saigon (the other is at 38 Dong Du). This one is on Le Thanh Ton Street, a short walk from other craft beer spots such as Pasteur Street Brewing Company and Heart of Darkness. The taproom features a fantastic alfresco terrace and a relaxed atmosphere.

Along with craft beer and tapas, the kitchen makes huge 50 cm pizzas meant for sharing. With about 20 taps of core and experimental beers, it’s easy to spend the whole evening here. Start with a flight of beers, order a huge pie for the table and relax. If you want to combine a beer crawl with dinner, 7 Bridges is a perfect option.

5. Margheri Gourmet Pizza & Eatery: Artisanal Pizzas Made by a Master Chef

District 7 is home to Margheri Gourmet Pizza & Eatery, the restaurant of Italian chef Ciro Sorrentino. Born in Naples, he started making pizza at 13. He first came to Saigon in 2014 as the pizza chef at The Long Bar in the Times Square building, opened his own Margheri in Italy in 2018, and came back to open this one in 2023. 50 Top Pizza ranked it No. 11 in Asia-Pacific in 2025, when it also won the list’s “Performance of the Year” award, and No. 12 in 2026.

Margheri’s menu goes well beyond the classic Margherita, with creative pizzas made using Italian techniques. District 7 is a longer ride from District 1 or Thao Dien, but the pizza is worth the trip.

6. 365º Napoli Pizza: A Comfy Family Restaurant in Thao Dien

On quiet Ngo Quang Huy Street in Thao Dien, 365º Napoli Pizza is a cozy, family-run alternative to the neighborhood’s bigger, flashier restaurants. It specializes in wood-fired Neapolitan pizza and makes its dough and fresh mozzarella in-house.

It’s small and simple, more a local hangout than a polished dining room. Don’t miss the Tuesday deal: 50% off pizzas from 5:00 to 10:00 PM, for dine-in and pick-up but not delivery (check before you go). Pair it with a cold beer for one of the best-value dinners in Saigon.

7. Pizza Belga: Belgian Beers & Neapolitan Pizzas

Pizza Belga pairs two things: wood-fired Neapolitan pizza and Belgian-style craft beer. The Belgian-owned brand started in Hanoi, first on Au Co Street and then on Hang Be Street in the Old Quarter. Its Saigon branch is in Da Kao, District 1.

The kitchen also makes a good range of homemade pasta. But the real draw is the pairing: where many Saigon pizza spots pour hoppy IPAs, here you drink a house-brewed Belgian-style beer with a charred Neapolitan crust.

8. Jimmy’s New York Pizza: New York-Style Pizza Near Ben Thanh

Jimmy’s is American-run and makes real New York-style pizza: big pies with foldable slices. The dough is made fresh every day, and the sauce is a family recipe. The District 1 branch is handy if you’re near Ben Thanh Market.

In addition to pizza, you can order beer, side dishes like chicken wings, and desserts like New York cheesecake. The District 1 branch is open daily from 10:00 AM to 11:00 PM. Besides that, there are also two other branches of Jimmy’s, located in District 2 and District 7.

9. Lamie Pizza: Detroit-Style Square Pizza in District 1 and Thao Dien

Here you will find Detroit-style pizza, a style no other place on this list makes. The pizzas are baked in rectangular blue steel pans, the kind first used in Detroit’s car factories. That’s why the cheese at the edges melts against the hot pan and forms a crispy, caramelized crust. Lamie ferments its dough for 48 hours.

There are two branches of Lamie Pizza in Saigon: the original down a small lane off Nguyen Cong Tru in District 1, and one in Thao Dien. Opening hours differ: on weekdays the District 1 branch is open only for lunch and dinner (11:30 AM–2:00 PM and 5:30–10:00 PM), and the Thao Dien branch is closed on Mondays.

Conclusion: Discovering Saigon’s Unique Pizza Culture

From the farm-to-table ideas of Pizza 4P’s to the family-run warmth of 365º Napoli in Thao Dien, Saigon’s pizza is worth planning an evening around. Its biggest strength is variety: strict Neapolitan, Japanese fusion, hearty Chicago deep-dish, New York slices and Detroit-style squares, all in one city.

My advice: don’t pick just one. Spread these over a few nights: a romantic garden dinner at Pendolasco, a Chicago deep-dish at Capone’s, and a huge shared pizza with friends at 7 Bridges. Food in Saigon changes fast, so check opening hours before you go. Visiting Hanoi too? Don’t miss the best egg coffee in Hanoi.

INSIDER TIP: If you plan to try several of these pizzerias, download Grab, Green SM (formerly Xanh SM) and Be, and compare fares before you book; prices change with the time of day. For the pizzerias in Thao Dien, you can also take Metro Line 1 from Ben Thanh to Thao Dien station (about 10 minutes, under US$1), then a short ride.
