Pizza is easy to make and hard to make well. Penang now has everything from blistered Neapolitan pies to foldable New York slices, and the best ones are not always the best known.
We compared pizza places around Penang on dough, sauce and toppings, consistency, delivery and value. Tip: a large pizza here typically costs from about RM30 to RM45; wood-fired pies are best eaten in the restaurant, straight from the oven.
