Happy International Pizza Day! Your go-to pizza places in Malta (PT.1)🍕
Have you ever gone out to eat with a group of people and as soon as you say that you’re having pizza, someone shouts out, “why are you having pizza? Why don’t you get a steak or something?” Most times, pizza is regarded as a ‘casual’ option, or something which is not so special because it’s easy to make. However, a good pizza requires skill and technique, and should never be taken for granted. 🍕
We’ve gathered a list of some super spots that serve some of the most scrumptious pizza on the island:
Made in Sud
Located in St Paul’s Bay, these guys serve truly authentic pizza Napoletana. A light and fluffy dough with toppings that are the absolute real deal. The ingredients are the freshest of fresh and you will definitely not be disappointed at Made in Sud. 🇮🇹
Sotto Pizzeria
Andiamo a Roma! Serving some delicious Roman-style pizza, Sotto offers a HUGE variety of pizza that will keep you wanting more. They serve rotolini (pizza rolls), vegetarian pizza, regular Roman pizza, calzoni (closed pizza), pagnottelle (stuffed pizza), and even gourmet pizza! 😌
La Cuccagna
Ever heard of pasta al nero di seppia (squid ink)? These guys make pizza with that ink! The Pizza Nera is just one out of 24 pizzas that they serve, and these include some superb toppings such as french goat cheese, fillet carpaccio, carbonara, and even bolognese sauce! We tried out one of their classics and reviewed it… take a look. 🥰
Fra Giuseppe
Although known for its huge and amazing platters, this cosy wine bar in Balzan specialises in Pinsa Romana. This is a type of pizza that is typical in Rome. Having a crunchy exterior and a soft, cloud-like interior, with toppings that are truly Italian, the pinsa at Fra Giuseppe is troppo buona! 🤩
Piccolo Padre
Have you ever had pizza with bigilla? That's right, the guys at Piccolo Padre serve just that. The pizza is cooked in a wood-burning oven, so the crust gets that bit of a crunch and a subtle smokey flavour. If their menu was a movie, their pizza would definitely be a leading role. 👌
HiMù
If a place makes their own mozzarella and tomato sauce, their pizza is definitely going to be a killer. HiMù strives to use truly authentic ingredients to make truly Italian pizza. And if you like their mozzarella, you can even buy some and take it home with you! 💯
Pizza.ink
Local legend Chef Daniel Grech is the mastermind behind the iconic burgers at Burgers.ink, and now he’s also making one of the best pizzas on the island. Whether you want your pizza base to be baked or grilled, you will be taken to a whole other world. A perfectly cooked dough that is crunchy on the outside yet soft and fluffy on the inside and toppings that go together perfectly. 😋
NapolEat
If you like Naples-style pizza, this place should definitely be on your list. NapolEat’s crust is soft and the sauce is heavenly. PLUS, they have a different pizza speciality every month, so you always have a reason to visit! 🤤
Bianco's
Having regular pizza, pizza bianca, pizza calzone, gourmet pizza, and even a vegan mozzarella option, anyone's taste buds will be satisfied at Bianco’s. Toppings range from roasted pepper cream, brisket, purple potato puree, and even a ricotta crust! 😍
Did you enjoy the ride? Next time someone tells you not to choose pizza, just take them to one of these places.
