Not all pizzas are created equal though, so we did the only rational thing there is to do: we found Canberra’s very best pizzas.

The 7 Best Pizzas In Canberra, How do these rankings work?

1. Agostinis

Agostinis is a fun, family-owned restaurant that serves regional Italian specialities. Pizzas are Neapolitan-style and come piping hot from their state-of-the-art Marana Forni pizza oven.

The Sotterranea is especially good: mushroom paste, fresh truffle, Italian sausage, Montastio cheese & Fior di Latte mozzarella.

2. Pizza Gusto

Pizza Gusto keeps thing simple, but of seriously high quality. The dough is triple-proved for a light and crispy base and the pies are woodfired to perfection.

Meat lover? You need to order the Affetato. It comes with a tomato base, mozzarella, shaved ham, calabrese salami and fresh prosciutto. Snag a table outside and you’ll be in heaven.

3. Briscola

This place is like if an Italian nonna opened a restaurant alongside her in-the-know grandchild. It’s all about authenticity, yet keeps its smarts: pizzas come in small, medium and large sizes and they will do a medium-sized gluten-free base, with vegan options.

The charcuterie is cured by nearby Balzanelli Small Goods. So, be sure to try The Italian Job which comes with their pancetta.

4. Salotto

A lovely restaurant that’s been on the go for three generations and is still a top spot for delicious food. Salotto is cosy ‘n’ charming place in Kingston. The pizza menu only has six options, but you won’t need anything else.

All pizzas have Fiori di latte cheese and homemade napoletana sauce. And yes, all are amazing.
