Shareable, endlessly varied and tasty: it’s hard to think of a more perfect dish than pizza, especially when you’re getting together with family and friends.
So here’s the question: where in Macao can you find the tastiest pizzas? Keep reading, Macao News has handpicked some of the city’s finest pizzerias to help you in your quest for the perfect pie.
Pronto
While the chefs whip out the dishes at the appropriately named Pronto in Wynn Palace, you certainly don’t need to rush when dining here. First, you can admire the chefs baking pizzas at the cooking station, reflected through the open kitchen’s mirrored surfaces. Then, take in the Roman-style barrel-vaulted ceiling, paired with textured terracotta marble and stainless-steel walls that evoke a sense of classical Italian charm.

The menu offers more than 15 varieties of pizza as well as puccia, covering nearly every classic style you can think of. We love the Napoletana, topped with San Marzano tomato sauce, fior di latte, Parmesan, anchovy, dried tomato, dried chilies, and basil. If you’re feeling overwhelmed by the choices, this signature pizza is a great place to start.

Vida Rica Bar
At Mandarin Oriental’s Vida Rica Bar, executive chef Giulioantonio Di Sabato has built a menu featuring Italian nibbles, with Neapolitan-style pizzas as the main draw.
The bar’s pizzas are served piping hot and with a perfect crust, making Vida Rica a standout spot for authentic pies on the peninsula. The menu features six options, with the bufalina (made with silky burrata cheese and slices of culatello ham) and the picante (topped with spicy Calabrian salami) among our favourite picks. For a vegetarian pie, look for the tartufo & morels. Servers are generous with their back truffle shavings.
Kick back and enjoy your pizza alongside the sunset views of Nam Van, for which Vida Rica Bar has front-row seats.
