Phuket’s Top
Pizza Places
From authentic Neapolitan wood-fired classics to Roman alla pala and Detroit-style deep dish — the best pizza on the island, found and tested by locals.
🏆 #1 — The Most Acclaimed Pizza on the Island
Internationally recognised and consistently cited as the best pizza in Thailand.
Peppina Phuket
Peppina is the real deal. Certified by the Associazione Verace Pizza Napoletana – the global body that protects authentic Neapolitan pizza – they follow the rules precisely: only water, sea salt, flour, and yeast in the dough, with a minimum 24-hour fermentation using high-quality Caputo flour. The result is a crust that’s gloriously chewy in the middle, blistered and crispy at the edges, and messy in the best possible way. The signature “La Peppina” margherita with creamy buffalo mozzarella and sweet piennolo tomatoes is the one to start with. Book ahead — this is consistently the hardest table to get on the island.
⭐ #2 & #3 — Top Picks
Two more consistently excellent pizzerias that our community comes back to again and again.
Pizzeria Da Moreno
The Vaiano family behind Da Moreno do things properly — they make their own cheese and cold cuts in-house, which sets the flavour apart from most competitors. The signature Pizza Bufalina uses fresh buffalo mozzarella from the Vaiano Dairy right here in Phuket. The calzone alla bruno with Parma ham, buffalo mozzarella, and rocket is a standout. Five locations across the island mean it’s rarely far away, and the price-to-quality ratio is hard to beat.
Pomodoro Pizzeria
Pomodoro is the kind of local favourite that doesn’t shout about itself, it just quietly serves excellent pizza and homemade pasta, night after night, at prices that make you feel like you’ve found a secret. Located away from the main Kata Beach drag, it’s worth making the effort to find. The wood-fired oven produces consistently well-charred bases, and the pasta dishes are made fresh. A go-to for families and regulars living on the south of the island.
✦ #4–8 — Also Worth Your Time
More standout spots picked by the Phuket Community team — each one doing something a little different.
OSOT Trattoria & Pizzeria
A gem tucked into Old Town serving wholesome Italian fare in a charming, intimate setting. The menu covers a wide range of pizzas including fresh seafood toppings — but the real talking point is the pepperoni pizza finished with spicy honey, which is as good as it sounds. One of the better reasons to make the trip into Phuket Town for dinner.
+39 Pizza Romana
Phuket’s only dedicated Roman-style pizza, and a genuine institution since 2016. The rectangular alla pala slices use a 72-hour fermentation and low-temperature bake that creates a crust with a paper-thin crispy exterior and a pillowy, cloud-like interior. Six rotating flavour combinations – including gorgonzola and walnut, and pumpkin cream with speck. Come at aperitivo hour (5–8pm) for one cocktail plus two slices at ฿400. Two locations: Kata Beach and Nai Harn.
MODO Pizza
If you’ve never tried Detroit-style pizza, MODO is your introduction to it – and it’s a good one. Thick, airy squares baked in steel pans with a beautifully caramelised, slightly crunchy edge and a soft, fluffy interior. The playful blue-and-red robot decor sets the casual tone. There’s nothing else like it in Phuket, which alone makes it worth a visit from anyone who takes their pizza seriously.
La Capannina
Over 40 years on Nanai Road under the same name and the same owner – that kind of longevity says everything. Run by Mr. Mario, originally from Sorrento, La Capannina has fed generations of Patong regulars with cold fish appetisers, handmade pasta, and expertly crafted pizza. The kind of place where you’re greeted like a regular from the second visit. A piece of Phuket history.
Little Roma
Located in Porto de Phuket next to Boat Avenue, Little Roma takes a convivial approach to Italian dining – full menu, reliable pizza, good wine list. The standout is the Pad Ka Pao Gai Pizza, a white pizza that playfully incorporates Thai basil chicken flavours into an Italian format. The Diavola with spicy salami is the safer crowd-pleaser. Great choice for the Laguna/Bang Tao expat crowd.
