Best Pizza in Sydney 2026

Sydney has one of Australia's most diverse pizza scenes, from authentic Neapolitan pizzerias in the inner west to Roman al taglio (by-the-slice) shops, wood-fired suburban restaurants and fast delivery chains. The city's large Italian community has shaped a genuine pizza culture that goes well beyond the national chains. sydneyfood.com.au

Types of Pizza in Sydney

Neapolitan (Napoletana): Thin, soft, slightly charred base with simple toppings (Margherita, Marinara). Vera Pizza Napoletana (VPN) certified pizzerias use 00 flour, San Marzano tomatoes and fior di latte mozzarella. A strong tradition in the inner west (Leichhardt, Haberfield).
Wood-fired: Wood-fired ovens cooking at 400-500C give characteristic char and airy crusts. Many of Sydney's best independent pizzerias use wood-fired ovens.
New York style: Larger, foldable slices with a crispy-but-chewy base. A growing segment in Sydney.
Roman al taglio: Pizza sold by weight from rectangular trays, a growing trend in Sydney's inner suburbs.
Chain delivery pizza: Domino's, Pizza Hut and Eagle Boys-style delivery pizza remains popular for convenience across Sydney suburbs.
