The short answer
If you want the pizza the judges rate, go to Margherí in Phú Mỹ Hưng, ranked 12th in Asia-Pacific by 50 Top Pizza in 2026. If you want pizza with a pint, 7 Bridges on Đông Du bakes 50cm pies from dough made with spent grain from its own brewing. And for a square Detroit slice with a cheese-crisp edge, Lamie in District 1 is the one. Fifteen places worth the trip are below.
Saigon’s pizza scene has grown up fast. Not long ago the shortlist was Pizza 4P’s, a couple of old-school Italian restaurants and the delivery chains. Now there’s Neapolitan from a Naples-born chef, a self-taught pizzaiolo baking in an alley off Nguyễn Trãi, Roman slices, Detroit squares, Chicago deep dish and more New York slice shops than one city strictly needs. This guide covers where to go, what to order and roughly what you’ll pay. Five of the places give Saigon Scene members a discount.
One housekeeping note: Vietnam abolished district-level administration on 1 July 2025, so addresses now use the new ward names (Sài Gòn Ward, Bến Thành Ward, An Khánh Ward and so on). We give both, because everyone still says “District 1”.

How much is a pizza in Saigon?
Budget roughly 55,000–105,000₫ for a slice and 200,000–350,000₫ for a whole pizza at a good independent pizzeria. Three rough bands are worth knowing:
- By the slice (55,000–105,000₫) — Paper Plate, Oliver’s, East Borough and Lamie. One big slice is lunch; two is dinner.
- A pizza each (150,000–300,000₫) — Jimmy’s 12-inch pies, Trần Pizza, Margherí, 365º Napoli, Chico’s and most of Pizza 4P’s menu.
- Sharing (350,000₫ and up) — 20-inch pies at Paper Plate, 50cm pies at 7 Bridges, Pendolasco’s long pala pizzas and anything with imported truffle.
Tuesday is the cheapest night to eat pizza in Thao Dien: 365º Napoli takes 50% off its pizzas from 5pm to 10pm.
1. 7 Bridges Brewing Co.
38 Đông Du, Sài Gòn Ward (District 1) · Sun–Wed 10am–midnight, Thu–Sat 10am–1am
15B/12 Lê Thánh Tôn, Sài Gòn Ward (District 1) · daily noon–2am, kitchen until 1:30am
Most breweries treat pizza as something to soak up the beer. 7 Bridges built it into the brewing. The pizza dough is made with spent grain left over from the mash, and whatever dough goes unused is brewed back into beer: its Upcycle Pale Ale is made with leftover pizza dough. Spent yeast and hops go into soap, and by-products into the house Dragon Hot Sauce. It is as neat a zero-waste loop as you’ll find in Saigon, and it happens to produce a very good pizza.
The pies are New York-style thin crust and 50cm across, which makes them a job for the whole table rather than a meal for one. Put Dragon Hot Sauce on everything. The beer is the other reason to come: at the 2025 Asia Beer Championship, 7 Bridges was named Champion Small Sized Brewery and its Heritage Superdry Rice Lager took Champion Beer of Asia. Đông Du has 40 taps over three floors; Lê Thánh Tôn is the late one, open until 2am.
Order this: a 50cm pie for the table, Dragon Hot Sauce on the side, and a Dragon session IPA.
2. Lamie Pizza
158/4 Nguyễn Công Trứ, Bến Thành Ward (District 1) · Mon–Wed 10am–11pm, Thu–Sat 10am–midnight, Sun 11am–11pm
14 Đường số 11, An Khánh Ward (Thao Dien) · Tue–Sun 4pm–11pm, closed Mondays
Lamie brought Detroit-style pizza to Saigon, and it is still the city’s reference point for it. The pizza is baked in rectangular blue-steel pans, the dough is a 48-hour cold-fermented sourdough, and the cheese runs right to the edge of the pan so it fries into a dark, crisp crust. That crust, the frico, is the reason to come. The District 1 original is down an alley off Nguyễn Công Trứ; Thao Dien is the evening branch, and there is a third in Đà Lạt.
Order this: the Classic Motown (mozzarella, house marinara, crispy pepperoni), and fight over the corners.
10% off with the Saigon Scene app. See the Lamie Pizza partner page.
3. Paper Plate Pizza
25/26B Tôn Thất Tùng, Bến Thành Ward (District 1) · 11am–9:30pm, closed Tuesdays
Paper Plate does New York pizza the New York way: one size only, 20 inches, sold whole or by the slice off a paper plate. Ngoc Truong and Hoa Nguyen opened it in January 2020, and it has kept a loyal following among people who know what a proper slice should be. The dough is hand-tossed and the sauce is made in-house.
Slices start at about 57,000₫, and one is a meal. There are around 20 pies to choose from, from plain cheese and pepperoni to buffalo chicken and Philly cheesesteak, plus wings and garlic knots. It’s close to the Bùi Viện end of town, which makes it a very good late-afternoon refuel in District 1.
Order this: a pepperoni slice and a buffalo chicken slice, folded.
4. Oliver’s Pizza
Hẻm 85 Phạm Viết Chánh, Thạnh Mỹ Tây Ward (Binh Thanh) · daily 11am–2am
Oliver’s does Roman pizza al taglio: long rectangular trays, cut to order and sold by the slice. The dough is made fresh every morning, and the result is thicker and airier than a Neapolitan base with a properly crisp bottom. It’s a small, easy-going place down a lane off Phạm Viết Chánh, halfway between a café and a restaurant.
A slice runs around 70,000₫, and there’s a two-slice combo with salad and a drink if you want lunch sorted. It’s open until 2am, which on this stretch of bars is a public service.
Order this: one coppa (dry-cured ham and sun-dried tomato) and one spicy salami.
5. Jimmy’s New York Pizza
29 Nguyễn Bá Lân, An Khánh Ward (Thao Dien) · also 50 Đặng Thị Nhu (formerly District 1) and Cảnh Viên 3, Phú Mỹ Hưng · daily 10am–11pm
Jimmy’s is the city’s American-run New York pizzeria, and if you like your pizza crispy, this is the one. The bases are thin and crisp enough to fold, built on Jimmy’s own dough and homemade sauce with imported mozzarella. Our co-founder Olly rates it the best crispy New York-style pizza in Saigon.
Eat it there. The Thảo Điền shop on Nguyễn Bá Lân is a walk-in spot under a big Hot Pizza, Cold Beer sign, with beer on tap, and a pie straight out of the oven beats one that has spent twenty minutes on a motorbike. An 8-inch personal pizza runs 129,000–209,000₫ and a 12-inch 229,000–349,000₫. If you do order in, order direct on jimmys.vn or call 0896 627 099: delivery apps take a commission on every order from small independents, so ordering direct keeps more of your money with Jimmy’s.
Order this: a 12-inch pepperoni and a beer from the tap.
6. Margherí
R3-60 Hưng Phước 4, Tân Hưng Ward (District 7, Phú Mỹ Hưng) · 11am–10pm, closed Tuesdays
By any outside measure, this is the best pizzeria in Vietnam. Margherí is 12th on the 50 Top Pizza Asia-Pacific list for 2026, after placing 11th in 2025 and picking up that year’s Performance of the Year award, and it is the only Vietnamese pizzeria on the list. The chef, Ciro Sorrentino, was born in Naples, ran the original Margherí in Italy and opened this one in Phú Mỹ Hưng in July 2023.
The pizza is contemporary Neapolitan: wood-fired, long-fermented, soft and blistered at the rim. Pizzas run 150,000–300,000₫, which for this standard is a bargain. It’s a trek from District 1, but it’s the trek to make.
Order this: a Margherita to see what the fuss is about, then the Bufalotta or the smoky beef brisket.
7. Trần Pizza
215B Nguyễn Trãi, Cầu Ông Lãnh Ward (District 1) · 2pm–9pm or until sold out; days off change monthly, so check Instagram (@tranpizza)
Hiếu Trần taught himself to make pizza, largely from YouTube, and opened in the alley where his family had sold street food for generations. Plastic stools, an alley setting and some of the best Neapolitan-style pizza in the city. The dough gets a 48-hour pre-ferment. The shop moved to Nguyễn Trãi in early 2025, and delivery apps still show the old Cống Quỳnh address, so ignore them.
Small pizzas are 159,000–189,000₫ and mediums 199,000–249,000₫. It’s walk-in only, and it does sell out, so go early.
Order this: the Carbonara, with guanciale and egg yolk.
8. 365º Napoli Pizza
50 Ngô Quang Huy, An Khánh Ward (Thao Dien) · Mon–Thu 4pm–11pm; Fri–Sun 11am–2pm and 4pm–midnight
A husband-and-wife Neapolitan place a block off Xuân Thủy, and one of the most-reviewed restaurants in Thao Dien. The oven is wood-fired, the dough is made in-house, and the menu runs from a straight Margherita to the loaded house signature. It is a proper sit-down dinner rather than a quick slice.
Pizzas run 135,000–378,000₫. On Tuesdays from 5pm to 10pm every pizza is half price for dine-in and pickup, and the place fills up accordingly.
Order this: the Signature Napoli (burrata, grilled Australian beef, rocket and truffle), ideally on a Tuesday.
9. Pizza 4P’s
8/15 Lê Thánh Tôn, Sài Gòn Ward (District 1) · daily 11am–11pm
Also 8 Thủ Khoa Huân (Bến Thành Ward), Hai Bà Trưng (District 3), Trần Ngọc Diện (Thao Dien), Saigon Pearl and about ten more
The only chain on this list, and it earns its place. Pizza 4P’s was founded in Saigon in 2011 by Japanese founders Yosuke Masuko and Sanae Takasugi, and it now runs restaurants across Vietnam and abroad, with New York next. The difference is the cheese: it makes its own burrata and mozzarella at its own dairy in Lâm Đồng, and you can taste it.
Pizzas run about 160,000–420,000₫. The Lê Thánh Tôn branch is the one to book. Note that the Saigon Centre and Xuân Thủy branches have closed, whatever older guides say.
Order this: the Burrata Parma Ham, and the four-cheese with honey if there are more than two of you.
10. East Borough Pizza
95 Phạm Viết Chánh, Thạnh Mỹ Tây Ward (Binh Thanh) · Tue–Thu & Sun 5pm–midnight, Fri–Sat 5pm–2am, closed Mondays
A New York slice shop from owner and pizzaiolo Đạt, a Vietnamese-American from Santa Ana, California, who moved to Saigon in 2023. The dough ferments for two to three days, and the slices are big, thin and foldable.
Slices are 65,000–105,000₫ and a whole pie around 450,000₫. It’s a short walk from Oliver’s, so the Phạm Viết Chánh pizza crawl (one Roman slice, one New York slice) is a genuine option.
Order this: the xá xíu slice, a char siu pizza that makes more sense than it should.
11. Mila Mushroom Pizza
32 Đường số 46, An Khánh Ward (Thao Dien) · evenings; listed hours vary, so check before you go
The reigning champion. Mila Mushroom won best pizza with both the judges and the crowd at the Saigon Pizza Festival in April 2026, beating a field of the city’s pizzerias. It is small and mostly takeaway, and has moved from its earlier experimental toppings toward New York-style pies on a 48-hour dough.
We couldn’t confirm current prices or a fixed schedule, so message them on Instagram (@milamushroomsgn) before crossing town.
Order this: ask what they made at the festival.
12. Pizza & Bia
24/4 Phạm Ngọc Thạch, Xuân Hòa Ward (District 3) · daily 11am–10:30pm
Opened in 2016 by chef-owner Vy Nguyen, who trained in Italy, and still one of the best-rated pizza places in District 3. The dough is Italian-style and long-fermented; the toppings lean generous and American. The name tells you the other half of the offer: there is local craft beer on tap.
Nine-inch pizzas run from about 232,000₫ and twelve-inch from about 329,000₫. There are gluten-free options too.
Order this: The Fisherman (prawns, calamari and clams) and a local IPA.
13. Chico’s Pizza Bar
188BE14 Nguyễn Văn Hưởng, An Khánh Ward (Thao Dien) · Sun–Thu 10am–10pm, Fri–Sat 10am–11pm
Chef Huỳnh Chí Khang (Chico) opened this in 2022 on the same site as Roast & Smoke, the smoked-meat café, and the two share a kitchen. That’s why the toppings are the interesting part, with smoked meats turning up on a neo-Neapolitan base, and why the pizza starts at 10am.
Pizzas are 210,000–330,000₫. If you’re brunching at Roast & Smoke, which is a Saigon Scene partner, Chico’s is at the same address.
Order this: the Hainanese smoked chicken, or the maple bacon with caramelised onions.
14. Pendolasco
30 Tống Hữu Định, An Khánh Ward (Thao Dien) · daily 11am–10pm
Pendolasco has been serving Italian food in Saigon since 1998, which makes it the grandparent of this list. It is now in a villa garden in Thao Dien, with a wood-fired oven and house-made mozzarella and stracciatella.
The thing to order is the pala, a long Roman pizza baked on a wooden paddle and built for sharing: 350,000–450,000₫ for a single, 530,000–670,000₫ for a double. It’s the best choice on this list for a family lunch or a long, slow Sunday.
Order this: the Pala Tartufo (truffle, porcini, speck), or the Il Duomo with pistachio and hot honey.
15. Brick & Barrel
56 Võ Thị Sáu, Tân Định Ward (District 1) · daily 10am–10pm
Brick & Barrel has moved from Calmette to an open-air rooftop opposite Lê Văn Tám Park, and several guides still have the old address. It’s a craft beer bar first, with beer towers and live music, but the wood-fired pizza is serious: the owner imports the Italian ingredients and ferments the dough.
Pizzas are 190,000–390,000₫ for 30cm and 250,000–600,000₫ for 40cm. The El Diablo, with bird’s eye chilli, spicy salami and jalapeño, bills itself as the spiciest pizza in Vietnam. We didn’t argue.
Order this: El Diablo if you’re brave, the Umami Bomb (four mushrooms, crispy garlic, seaweed) if you’re not.

How we picked
Every venue on this list was checked in September 2026: its address and opening hours against its Google Maps listing and its own website or social channels, and its prices against current menus and recent reviews. Where a place had moved, closed or couldn’t be confirmed as trading, it was moved, flagged or removed, even if it was in our earlier guide. Awards come from 50 Top Pizza’s Asia-Pacific list and the 2026 Saigon Pizza Festival. Prices are a starting point, not a promise.
7 Bridges, Lamie, Paper Plate and Oliver’s are Saigon Scene partners, which is why they lead the list and why members save there. A place only makes the list if the pizza earns it. The order of the other entries is our own view.
