Ditch the guilt and dig in to some of the best pizzas in Perth.

There is nothing – and I mean nothing – better than a pizza cooked to cheesy saucy perfection.

I’m talking about the perfect balance of fluffy and crispy crust, succulent crushed tomato base, gooey cheese and drool-worthy, authentic toppings all in one delightful mouthful.

Luckily for us, Perth has some pretty quality pizza joints in its midst, so there’s no need for a trip to Italy to get that authentic taste.

Buon Appetito!

Simple Italian

The restaurant’s modo is per its name, simple.

It sticks to the authentic recipes from Roma, Italy. It’s fresh, tasty and as close to a true Italian pizza as you can get.

Simple Italian is also a family affair with three generations working under the one roof headlined by Grandfather Antonio (who used to own and run his restaurant in Fiumicino, near Roma) running the kitchen with his daughter Francesca to maintain the quality and authenticity of the recipes.

Head down to Simple Italian to try one of their 25 pizza options or be brave and mix a few ingredients.

Monsterella

Strongly earning its reputation as one of Perth’s best, Monsterella has a simple approach that produces mouthwatering results. 

Packed to the brim most nights of the week, it’s easy to see why this place has won the hearts of so many pizza enthusiasts after one bite of their naturally risen, saucy to the max slices. Maybe it’s the San Marzano tomatoes, or maybe it’s the handmade authenticity – whatever the case, we want more.

General Public Food Co has seriously nailed the sourdough base, keeping us coming back again and again for one of their epic pizzas. 

They’ve also set the bar with must-try toppings – think spicy Mexican, carbonara, pulled pork, beef brisket and prosciutto.

Leave your carb guilt at the door and get hooked on Pinsa at Tommasinos. 

Pinsa is dough made different. It comes from an ancient Roman recipe and features fewer carbs and fats for a lighter feed that won’t have you rolling out the door – and it’s fabulous! This is authentic Italian at its best, and we’d recommend the Diavola or Misto Di Bosco for ultimate satisfaction.
