Best Pizza in Singapore

Pizza in Singapore: what to expect

Singapore is best known for hawker food, but it also has a good choice of pizza. You can find pizza in Singapore at Italian restaurants, casual pizza shops and shopping mall food courts. This guide explains the main styles, what you will pay and where to start.

Main pizza styles

• Neapolitan. This style comes from Naples in Italy. It has a soft, puffy crust with charred spots. It is cooked very fast in a very hot oven.
• Roman. Roman-style pizza can be thin and crisp. Some places bake it in long trays and sell it by the slice.
• New York style. These are large, thin pizzas that are often sold by the slice.
• Chain pizza. Well-known international chains have branches across the island. They are easy for families and for delivery.

Local flavours

Some kitchens add local ideas to their pizzas. You may see toppings inspired by dishes such as Chilli Crab. Menus change often, so look out for specials.

Best areas to look

The Marina Bay and CBD area has many restaurants near offices and hotels. Weekday lunch there can be busy. If you are spending a day in the area, our Marina Bay guides cover sights and food nearby. Large shopping malls across the island also tend to have at least one pizza chain.

Prices, service charge and tipping

A pizza at a sit-down restaurant often costs around S$20 to S$35. Chain pizzas and slices usually cost less. Prices change, so check the menu before you order.

Many restaurants show prices with '++' after them. This means a 10% service charge and GST (goods and services tax) will be added to the bill. Tipping is not expected in Singapore, because many places already add a service charge.

Halal and vegetarian pizza

Pizza is easy for vegetarians, as most menus have a margherita or a vegetable option. If you need halal food, take care. Many Italian restaurants serve pork, such as ham or salami. Look for places that display the MUIS halal certificate.

Tips for ordering pizza

• Book ahead for dinner. Popular restaurants fill up on Friday and Saturday nights.
• Share and mix. One pizza per person is plenty with a starter. Groups often share several.
• Ask about sizes. Neapolitan pizzas usually come in one size. Chains often offer several.
• Order delivery to your hotel. Food delivery apps are widely used in Singapore. Ask your hotel where riders should leave orders.
• Try local food too. Balance your trip with hawker dishes. Our Must-Try Dishes page lists the classics.
