One of our favourite Italian restaurants which was on our Italian restaurant’s list. Via Pre is an authentic Italian restaurant set in the heart of Penang. To some Italians, it’s home away from home. That’s right, authentic Italian cuisine with great hospitality. Their pizzas are raved by many. Flavorful but not overpowering, made from scratch and very Italian. Go for the Italian classics or bold flavors, they have quite a list for pizzas.

#5 Yin’s Sourdough Pizza
Millennials are no stranger to this pizza spot. Yin’s Sourdough Pizza is another brainchild of Yin’s. Once nestled in Wisma Yeap Chor Yee, they’ve now signed out and opened up another outlet— Yin’s Wholefood Manufactory. All time favourite? The Egg Benny. Chewy, fluffy sourdough crust topped with Chicken Bratwurst, molten pool of cheese and a half-cooked egg in the center. The owner is serious when it comes to pizzas, she even imported a Valoriani Brick Oven to bake pizzas. So if you’re looking for a good pizza in Penang, hit Yin’s up.

An extensive menu including vegan and gluten-free meals, turns up their pizza is a bomb. Made prior to order, you gotta be a little patient.

#8 Streeto Pizza
We understand it gets frustrating sometimes when our Muslim friends don’t get to enjoy certain food, especially pizza. Don’t worry, you guys can now enjoy delicious, affordable pizzas at Streeto Pizza. They’re probably the only pizzeria in town that caters to Muslims. Not your regular Italian pizza, but more local-styled with generous cheese and homemade sauce. Streeto is not a restaurant but more of a coffee shop, which makes it more neighborhood-friendly.

At George: Booze & Bites, it’s unpretentious, where you grab a bite and drink booze to refuel, like the Americans. Guess what? You can even get your pizza with a side of fries.

#10 Pizzaiola
While Pizzaiola might not be the most authentic Italian restaurant, they serve some really good pizzas. We would say Pizzaiola is more of a fusion, where it takes a bit of the culture here and there. Ever had fried tempura on your pizza? Or even unagi? The combination might sound odd but Pizzaiola makes them right. We recommend going for their set meals as they’re really great in value. You know where to get good pizza in Penang now don’t you?
