For a Thai mountain city, Chiang Mai takes its pizza seriously. The scene runs from owner-run Italian pizzerias firing blistered Neapolitan pies to casual thin-crust favourites and a dedicated vegan pizzeria. It costs more than a plate of noodles, but when you want a proper pizza, the city delivers. This guide covers the best, from wood-fired ovens to value picks.

The favourites
- Delicieux Fondu and Pizza: One of the most popular pizza spots in the city, also known for fondue, with a big following.
- Adirak Pizza: A long-running, well-loved pizzeria, generous and consistent.
- Pizza Phoenix: A reliable favourite for a satisfying pizza.
- Street Pizza & The Wine House: Pizza built around a wine list, for a more grown-up pizza-and-a-glass evening.
For a more Italian style
Pizzeria Giotto leans authentic Italian, with proper dough and a simpler, quality-topping approach, and Pepino Pizza Pasta covers pizza and pasta together. For the trattorias that also do excellent pizza, see our Italian food guide.
Vegan pizza
RAD RABBIT is a dedicated vegan pizzeria, doing plant-based pizzas with vegan cheese and creative toppings, a standout in the city's strong plant-based scene.
The chains and quick options

Tips
- Eat wood-fired fresh. Proper crust is best straight from the oven, so dine in where you can.
- Share a couple rather than one each; pizzas here are generous.
- Delivery is easy via Grab and Lineman for a night in.
- Ask about vegan cheese outside the dedicated vegan spot.
