5 Best Pizza Places in Bangalore, and What to Order at Each

1. Pizza 4P’s

My best overall pick

I’d already eaten at Pizza 4P’s in Vietnam, where it started. So when I tried it in Bangalore, I had the original to compare it with. The Bangalore one comes close. If you ask me for one pizza place in the city, this is the one I’d send you to.

If you’re deciding what to order, the Burrata Salad Pizza comes up again and again among local diners. It has greens and a ball of burrata on top. Garlic Shrimp is another popular recommendation, and I’d point mushroom lovers towards the Truffle Burrata Mushroom Pizza.

Suggested order: Burrata Salad Pizza, with Garlic Shrimp Pizza as the seafood alternative.

Before you go: Check reservations for your preferred outlet. Reports about walk-in availability vary, so I would arrange the table before planning the rest of the evening.

2. Brik Oven

Very good pizza, and breakfast worth coming back for

My Brik Oven recommendation is simple: get a pizza and save room for the tiramisu. The pizza is very good, and having several outlets across Bangalore makes it an easy one to suggest when everyone is coming from a different part of town.

I’d also go here just for breakfast. The breakfast menu slaps. Diners recommend the salmon bagel and Caprese sandwich. For coffee, try the Ginger Cheong Cold Brew, which has orange juice and house-fermented lime and ginger cheong.

For pizza, Shrooms is a favourite among local diners, with mushrooms, goat’s cheese and arugula. Margherita 2.0 is another option if you want cheese and basil, and Streaking Pigs is a suggestion for anyone who wants pork toppings.

Suggested order: Shrooms or Margherita 2.0, followed by tiramisu.

For another visit: Try breakfast. Check the menu and breakfast service at the particular outlet you choose.

3. The Pizza Bakery

Make room for the stuffed garlic bread

The Pizza Bakery comes from the same group behind Paris Panini and Smash Guys. If I were planning a pizza order for the table here, I’d start by leaving space for the stuffed garlic bread.

The garlic bread kept coming up when I looked at what other diners order. Even people who were less enthusiastic about the pizza liked it. The signature version is stuffed with caramelised onion and mozzarella, with different toppings available.

For pizza, Chicken Fungo brings together chicken, mushrooms, red onion, jalapeño and a chimichurri splash. Pizza Verde is a vegetarian option built around pesto and vegetables. If you prefer pork toppings, Pig Out is another option to consider.

Suggested order: Signature Stuffed Garlic Bread, plus Chicken Fungo or Pizza Verde.

Before you order: Check the outlet menu for the garlic bread variations and current pizza selection.

4. Si Nonna’s

My favourite for a thin base

Of the pizzas on this list, Si Nonna’s is the one I’d pick for a thin base. It’s the thinnest of the lot to me, and one of the tastiest. If the crust is what you’re particular about, I’d start here.

The menu uses numbers for its pizzas, so read the ingredients before choosing. No. 4 is the cheese-heavy option, combining mozzarella, ricotta, blue cheese and Parmesan with cherry tomato confit and jalapeño salsa. It is worth considering if you enjoy a stronger cheese flavour.

The pistachio gelato with cookie crumble was so good that it’s part of why I recommend Si Nonna’s. The menu lists Sicilian Pistachio gelato and the skillet cookie separately, so ask if they can do the combination when you visit.

Tiramisu also receives praise from diners, giving you another dessert option.

Suggested order: No. 4 if you want a cheese-led pizza, followed by pistachio gelato.

Before you order: Read the numbered pizza descriptions carefully, especially if you have a preference about cheese or meat toppings.

5. Nomad Pizza

For choosing between pizza styles

I’d keep Nomad Pizza in the mix for nights when the table can’t agree on a style. The menu gives you Naples-inspired pizzas, New York-style thin crust and Chicago-style deep dish.

The deep dish is the order local diners kept pointing to. There are chicken, pepperoni and vegetable options on the listed menu. I’d consider it for a shared meal, and check the size before adding another pizza. A deep dish can be a much more filling order than a thin crust of the same diameter.

Suggested order: Chicago-style deep dish, choosing the filling according to your preference.

Before you go: Confirm whether your selected outlet offers dine-in, takeaway or delivery. Older restaurant reviews may refer to a different setup.
