The Best Pizza in Malta: Top Pizzerias

When I first moved to Malta back in 2017, I couldn’t wait to have Italian pizza right at my doorstep. Located so close to Italy, I believed that the Maltese cuisine would be the same as traditional Italian food. And while I wasn’t completely wrong, I quickly learned that Maltese food is a cuisine of its own that is not particularly based on pizza and pasta.

A lot of restaurants in Malta have pizza on the menu, but far from all serve up a proper, quality slice. After several rather disappointing encounters, I found some spots that were truly great.

Of course, pizzas come in many shapes and variants, and we all have different preferences. Personally, I prefer a thin, chewy crust with quality cheese and simple toppings.

Top Pizza Restaurant in Malta

After living in Malta for three years and trying out what feels like every pizza restaurant on the island, I found my absolute favourites. I found a mix of popular and lesser-known pizzerias in Malta that were all worth a try. While they slightly differed from other “best pizza restaurants in Malta” lists, they were my truly tried and tested go-tos.

Sadly, since publishing this post, several of them have closed down. I am therefore left with my absolute best pizza in Malta:

1. Prosciutteria – Best Pizza in Malta

During the Coronavirus lockdown in Malta, we ordered a lot of food delivery through Wolt and Bolt Food. And my favourite restaurant to order a quick lunch or dinner treat from quickly became Prosciutteria.

This pizza restaurant is located in Gzira if you want to dine in, but honestly, the food is just as delicious for take-away and delivery. Some pizzas turn sloppy or just don’t feel that fresh when you get them delivered, but that is not the case with Prosciutteria! Their pizzas (and especially the Diavola) simply make the best pizza delivery in Malta.

The pizzas from Prosciutteria are egg-shaped and not cut, served in a rectangular pizza box. The restaurant doesn’t slice the pizza on purpose – to ensure it is fresh and leave it up to you to slice it how you like. The dough is chewy and tasty, and the toppings always bring lots of flavours.

The restaurant is run by Zero Sei, who also operates the famous Valletta pizzeria Sotto. In their own words, they offer more than Italian restaurants, with real Roman cuisine.

Amigos – Best Non-Italian Pizza in Malta

Sometimes, you might want a great pizza that is a bit different. Then I would recommend pizza from Amigos Malta!

Amigos is a restaurant chain in Malta with pizza, burgers, taco and more on the menu. While not a traditional pizzeria, they have a good selection of various pizzas. One thing that really characterises the Amigos pizza is the use of sesame seeds on the dough crust. This adds a unique taste and crunch which complements the other flavours of the pizzas well.

If you are looking for a cheat-day meal or a restaurant that offers a selection of dishes with something for everyone, Amigos is a good choice.

Favourite pizzerias in Malta that are no longer open

I wish it wasn’t so, but since first publishing this post, three (!) of my favourite pizzerias in Malta have closed:

• HiMú – the best Italian pizza in Malta
• La Vecchia Taranto – the best pizza restaurant in Valetta
• Roma Capoccia – the best cheap pizza in Malta

While they are all currently closed, I do have a hope that some of them will open again in the future.
