Pizzas are undoubtedly the stars of Italian cuisine. There’s something about biting into that perfect crust, big flavours and richness of the cheese that makes them simply irresistible. From Neapolitan crusts, artisanal flavours to the classics, we bring you pizza spots that bring the best of Italy to Mumbai.

Gustoso

Once you’ve tasted the Neapolitan pizzas at Gustoso, you’ll keep coming back for more. The upscale eatery is warm, inviting, with a dedicated Pizzaiolo overseeing the massive wood-fired oven. The Diavolo, with its perfect crust, spicy salami, jalapenos and mozzarella is a favourite. The Prosciutto di Parma and the classic Margherita are almost a love letter to Naples.

CinCin

CinCin’s hand-tossed pasta and pizzas celebrate the spirit of the Amalfi coast. The Funghi e Tartufo is a must-have, with flavourful mushrooms and shaved black truffles that create magic with each bite. The gnocchi and homemade panna cotta complete the ‘La Dolce Vita’ experience.

Cecconis

You can’t ask for a better backdrop than the Juhu beach while munching on some great wood-fired pizzas. Part of the Soho House family, Cecconi’s thin crusts come with premium toppings that range from black truffle, field mushrooms, capers to salami Napoli and goat cheese. The generous portion of tiramisu gives you more reasons to linger.

Celini

For a refined Italian experience, head over to Celini at the Grand Hyatt. Here, you can watch the chefs work the brick ovens with ease as you munch on classic, authentic flavours that are seriously addictive. Don’t miss out on their eggplant parmigiana and signature pies.
