Hong Kong has no pizza tradition of its own — and that turns out to be a gift. With nothing local to defend, the city simply imported the best recipes from Naples, New York and New Haven, and the result is one of Asia's most competitive pizza scenes. The best pizza in Hong Kong now spans a Michelin Bib Gourmand Neapolitan, a 50 Top Pizza Asia-Pacific champion, and dollar-slice joints that could pass for the East Village.
Here are eight I'd stake my sourdough on, split by style so you can match the mood. Every address and accolade below was checked against the venues' own listings and Hong Kong food press in July 2026 — though menus and prices do move, so treat the figures as a guide.

Why Hong Kong's pizza scene punches above its weight
Because there's no "Hong Kong-style" pizza to protect, the city's pizzaioli chase authenticity hard — importing four-tonne Naples ovens, San Marzano tomatoes and DOP mozzarella, and flying in chefs from southern Italy. The payoff is range: on a single afternoon you can eat a true Neapolitan margherita and a foldable New York slice a few streets apart.
Soho in Central (中環) is the epicentre, but Wan Chai (灣仔) and Causeway Bay (銅鑼灣) hold their own. If you're building a bigger food crawl, slot pizza in alongside our 50 best restaurants in Hong Kong.
The Neapolitan heavyweights: Little Napoli, Fiata & Motorino
Start with the pedigree pies. Little Napoli in Wan Chai is the pizzeria most associated with the Michelin Guide in Hong Kong — it holds a Bib Gourmand, the guide's nod to great value. Chef Gavino Pilo bakes his heritage recipes in a four-tonne Naples oven; the Margherita is the benchmark.
In Soho, Fiata is the current critical darling: run by southern-Italian chef Salvatore Fiata, it ranks as Hong Kong's top pizzeria on the 50 Top Pizza Asia-Pacific list. The A' Salsiccia, heavy with Italian sausage and onion cream, is an award-winner.
Around the corner, Motorino has defended its patch for a decade, firing Neapolitan pies in a custom Stefano Ferrara oven, with a second kitchen in Wan Chai. The Soppressata Piccante is the one to beat for spice.
New York in Hong Kong: Sonny's & FINI'S
For the fold-and-walk experience, two spots nail the American canon. Sonny's, an import from Singapore that landed in Soho, does proper New York-style dollar slices — thin, wide and gloriously greasy — with hot dogs and homemade ice cream on the side.
FINI'S was the first to bring the Italian-American style to Hong Kong, and it plays both New York-style and thin-crust New Haven pies across several branches. Go for the famous Marinara or a Brooklyn Special.
Cult favourites: Mother of Pizzas & Vesu
Some pies come with a queue attached. Mother of Pizzas in Causeway Bay has a devoted local following, baking hand-stretched dough with San Marzano sauce in a wood oven. The chilli-honey, pineapple and sausage "Summer of Love 1967" is the sleeper hit.
For pizza with a view, Vesu Pizza Bar sits on the 30th floor of One Peking in Tsim Sha Tsui, marrying Neapolitan ovens with Cantonese flavours — think a Peking-duck pie and a bok choy-cream "I'll Be Bok". It's the most Hong Kong pizza on this list.
Pizza on every corner: Dough Bros.
Finally, the everyday hero. Dough Bros. has more than a dozen and a half branches across the city, so it's usually the closest good pizza to wherever you're standing. Its 24-hour-proofed sourdough bakes up fluffy at the edges, and the prices are refreshingly gentle.
Fancy something else from the oven-and-noodle world afterwards? Our guides to the best Thai restaurants and best hotpot in Hong Kong round out the map, and the cha chaan teng guide covers the local end.
