Thin crust, deep dish, or sourdough? Whatever your preference, you had me at pizza! From authentic American classics and the famous New York style pizza to deep dish pizzas and proper woodfired pizzas, there’s so much to love about this Italian dish.
Are you team pineapple or team no pineapple on your pizza? While this argument can go on forever, everyone has their favourite toppings, preference for tomato base or white base – the varieties of pizzas are endless. It’s also vegetarian-friendly with most pizzerias having a few veggie options on their menu.
Without further ado, here are the top Italian restaurants in Singapore promising a pizza-liciously great time!Blue Label Pizza & Wine
With two outlets at Orchard and Ann Siang Hill, Blue Label Pizza & WIne offers a modern take on the neighbourhood pizzeria. With limited items on the menu, they focus their attention on creating the few dishes well. You’ll see premium salads, snacks and of course, their acclaimed stone-fired pizza.

Bruno's Pizzeria & Grill
A favourite amongst its loyal patrons, Bruno’s has gained a reputation for having some of the best Italian food in Singapore. While their pastas are amazing, their pizzas are absolutely worth trying too.
The Ortolana vegetarian pizza is a crowd pleaser with mozzarella cheese, assorted vegetables and shaved parmesan. Tonara is an interesting one with mozzarella cheese, tuna and onions slices.
They also have white-based pizzas such as Flemekue featuring mozzarella cheese, bacon, onion, button mushrooms, and cream cheese.

Wild Child Pizette
Built on a decade-old promise and dough-making philosophy, The Cicheti Group’s pizzeria defies all conventions of a traditional Neapolitan pizzeria with big swings – on smaller canvases – at modern tastes.
Typically used to reference smaller sized pizzas, each pizzetta in Wild Child measures right up to a snug 10 inches – the ideal size for a single diner, and the perfect excuse to order a variety to share across the table. The dough-making philosophy is one that has been almost a decade spent perfecting at Cicheti, and lends itself to a crust that—with mere minutes blasted in the wood-fired oven—seals in a unique flavour, imparting an irresistibly moist, light and airy texture that yields to a bite that's chewy yet crisp, all at once.
For something different, there’s even a Crispy Fried Margherita pizza made with fried pizza dough! The remaining options on the menu are the usual Italian classics.
ETNA Italian Restaurant & Pizzeria
Taken after Italy’s most iconic volcano in Sicily, the name ETNA reflects the worldly renowned excellent produce and finest ingredients from the region. The name is also a clever play of representing the restaurant’s pride and focus on delivering truly Italian hospitality, recognizing that Every Table Needs Attention.
ETNA has evolved from a humble trattoria to a more sophisticated ristorante, taking on a contemporary approach offering a wide range of Mediterranean-influenced dishes. Using only the finest ingredients imported from Italy, select from a range of pasta, pizza, quality meat items and delightful desserts to feast on.
For a white-based pizza, try Umbricella – mozzarella cheese, Italian black truffle paste, cooked ham and Stracciatella cheese. For cheese lovers, Bufalina pizza is a must-have with tomato, mozzarella cheese, cherry tomatoes, basil and DOP fresh buffalo mozzarella.

Lucali BYGB
Embodying that late-night New York pizza culture at Lucali BYGB brings us a slice of Brooklyn. Lucali BYGB is a partnership between famed pizza guy Mark Iacono from Brooklyn’s Lucali and Gibran Baydoun of BYGB Hospitality.
It started many years ago with a weekly ritual. While Gibran lived in New York, he would travel to Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn most Sunday nights to have a pizza and calzone with Mark. Fast forward to Singapore, and the time and moment is right to bring a new kind of good time to the little red dot.
With the philosophy that pizzas are meant to be shared, there’s just one choice on the menu – the Original 18-inch Pie with a base of Buffalo mozzarella, parmesan and basil. Add your own toppings, choosing from pepperoni, mushrooms, sweet peppers, onions, olives and jalapenos.

An unusual but interesting choice would be the Crab & Broccolini pizza – mozzarella, sliced garlic, chilli and cherry tomatoes.
Drunken Farmer
Drunken Farmer is a place for sourdough pizzas. Slow-fermented dough crafted from a 159-year old starter, embodies the perfect balance of crisp, airy crust and chewy dough with an assertive tang. As they like to say, “it takes 30 hours to slowly rise and some real kung fu to make”.
The Four Cheese pizza comes with the usual creamy ricotta and mozzarella, contrasted with a funky juxtaposition of nutty ossau iraty and sharp blue cheese. Finished simply with sprinkles of fresh parsley for a bright herbaceous hint.
