Best pizza in Canberra

Canberra's pizza scene has come a long way, transforming from the days when decent wood-fired pizza meant driving out of the city. These days, whether you're after a traditional Neapolitan slice, a contemporary take on the classic, or something entirely your own, you'll find skilled pizzaiolos and thoughtful venues scattered across our nation's capital ready to deliver the goods.

This guide rounds up seven of the best pizza spots in Canberra, each bringing their own flavour and character to the table. Some are long-established favourites that locals have been returning to for years, whilst others are relative newcomers making waves with their approach to dough, toppings, and the whole pizza-making craft.

Whether you're planning a night out with friends, a casual family meal, or simply chasing that perfect slice, you'll find something worth exploring here. Pull up a seat, grab a slice, and discover why Canberrans are getting genuinely excited about pizza right now.
