Pune has come a long way from cheese burst and thin crust. Today you get real Neapolitan pizza, sourdough bases fermented for days, and proper wood fired ovens across the city.
I checked more than 40 pizza places in Pune. Rating, reviews, timings, price, everything. These 10 are the best, from sourdough pizzerias to budget spots that beat the big chains.
Si Nonna’s
The best pizza in Pune right now. Their base is real sourdough, fermented slowly, so the crust is chewy inside with a light char outside. Pizzas are baked in a wood fired oven and the brand is Vera Pizza Napoletana certified. Order any numbered pizza, get the garlic sourdough, and finish with tiramisu.
Da Nonna’s Pizzeria
Proper Neapolitan style margherita with an airy crust, light char, fresh basil and a balanced tomato sauce. The buffalo paneer pizza is the surprise hit, smoky and saucy. One pizza feeds two people. Their cheesy garlic bread and tiramisu both get named in review after review.
Arthur’s Theme
One of the oldest European restaurants in Pune, run by a father and son. It is not a pure pizzeria, but the Italian menu is classic and the ambience is cosy rather than flashy. Come for the steaks and pizza together. Cocktails are good and valet parking is available.
SuBakes
The wood fired oven is the whole point here. The crust comes out with a smoky flavour you cannot fake in an electric oven. Zesty chicken pizza and spaghetti carbonara are the top picks. Small, quiet and clean, right next to SP College. Prices lean slightly premium for the area.
PizzaExpress
The UK chain, and it holds up in Pune. Thin crust margherita done properly, and the fettuccine rosso is worth ordering alongside. Mocktails like the Devil’s Mary get repeat mentions. Prices are premium for a mall setting, and a few reviewers complain the air conditioning struggles on weekends.
The Pizza Box & Cafe
Home baked base, which is why regulars say it beats Domino’s and Pizza Hut easily. Ask them to make the crust cheesy. The Kondhwa outlet runs 24 hours, so this is your late night pizza option in Pune. Buy one get one runs Monday to Friday on selected medium pizzas.
Pizza Affairs
Highest rated on this list. Known as much for birthday and anniversary setups as for the food, with decoration packages starting around Rs 500. Tandoor pizza is the signature. Pasta, burgers, shakes and mocktails round out the menu. Family friendly, affordable, and staff get consistent praise for being polite.
Little Italy
The pure veg Italian chain. Napoli pizza, pesto paradiso with burrata and the pinsa base are the ones to order. Bund Garden and Baner branches get better reviews than Lullanagar. Prices are high and some reviewers feel the food no longer matches the cost, so go with that expectation.
Zeta, Hyatt Regency
Fine dining Italian inside Hyatt Regency. The pizza is solid, the bruschetta and mushroom tortellini get named often, and the tiramisu is rated among the best in the city. Live music in the evening. Vegetarian options are limited, so check the menu first if that matters to you.
Onesta
The student and group favourite. Unlimited pizza is the draw, and the pricing is built for a college budget without dropping quality too far. Corn cheese balls are the standard side order. Service can slow down when it is full, so avoid peak weekend hours if you are in a hurry.
Pizza styles you will see on these menus
| Neapolitan | Soft puffy edge, light char spots, thin wet centre. Eaten with a fork and knife. Si Nonna’s and Da Nonna’s do this |
| Sourdough | Base fermented for a day or more. Chewier, tangier and easier on the stomach |
| Wood fired | Baked at very high heat over wood. Gives the smoky flavour an electric oven cannot |
| Thin crust | Crisp all the way through. PizzaExpress and most chains use this |
| Pinsa | Roman style oval base, lighter and airier than regular pizza. Little Italy serves it |
| Deep dish | Thick base with high edges, loaded with cheese. Rare in Pune |
Places I checked but left out
Pizza Toons has excellent ratings at Kothrud and Rasta Peth but very few reviews so far, so the sample is thin. Cheesiano Pizza is everywhere in PCMC and the cheese burst is good, but hygiene complaints show up too often across outlets. Slice of Soul in Viman Nagar is decent and Dough Cup in Koregaon Park has a fun pizza in a cup concept, both worth trying once but not ahead of the ten above.
