Perth's pizza game has levelled up over the past few years, and we now have everything from Neapolitan and Roman-style pizzas to New York slices and our very own Aussie creations.

  • Wembley

Order the: Milliano – buffalo mozzarella, Italian pork and fennel sausage, caramelised onions, oregano, pecorino, truffle oil 

Even your nonna would approve of Monsterella. Warm and welcoming, this little family-owned pizzeria has something for the whole clan. Their handmade woodfire pizzas are Naples in style, with dough naturally risen for 48 hours, stretched out thin and cooked until the crust bubbles with beautiful burnt bumps. The Milliano is a must-try with fior di latte, Italian pork and fennel sausage, caramelised onions, pecorino and truffle oil, but if we had to pick a second favourite, it’d be the Diablo with smoked mozzarella, hot salami, nduja and chilli.

Address: 46 Grantham St, Wembley

2. Pizzeria Da Leo

Order the: Gnocchi Da Leo

Love your carbs and can’t choose between pizza and pasta? At Pizzeria Da Leo, you don’t have to. This Perth fave, with locations in Dianella, Balcatta and Wembley, is known for its signature 'pizza bowl pastas'. Yes, you read that right; it's pasta inside a crusty woodfire-baked pizza base. Try the Gnocchi Da Leo with truffle cream, Italian sausage, mushrooms and parmesan, the Paccheri Al Pesto with basil pesto, sun-dried tomatoes, pine nuts and stracciatella, or any of their inventive specials. Tear off a hunk of the golden, charred crust to mop up every last bit of sauce. Prefer to keep things classic? There’s traditional Neapolitan-style pizza and a range of pastas on offer.

  • Scarborough

Order the: XXXtra Hot – tomato sauce, mozzarella, parmesan, hot salami, chilli, olives, basil

It was love at first slice for locals at this neighbourhood pizzeria with locations across Perth (and also one in Busselton). Hot, fresh and fired up in an oven straight from Italy, these pizzas are true Neapolitan doughy goodness. The pizzaiolos ferment their dough for three days and bring the party to town with lots of toppings – burrata cheese, prosciutto crudo, pineapple, you name it. The Margherita is a local favourite, and we suggest dressing it up with buffalo cheese and ordering a garlic aioli dip to dunk your golden crusts.

Price: All pizzas $26

Order the: Hot Honey – sugo, salami, nduja paste, whipped ricotta, fior di latte, hot honey, basil verde

This female- and family-run pizza joint in Leederville undeniably serves some of the best slices in town. Vikka specialises in Napoletana-style 13-inch pizzas that are perfectly blistered in the oven and topped with a smorgasbord of locally sourced ingredients. Vegetarians have plenty of options at Vikka – with veg-forward pizzas making up half the menu, though there’s also the option to add meats like speck and honey-cured ham if you so desire. Let’s not forget the crust – Vikka offers your choice of sugo or stracciatella dip, which will have you mopping up every last bit. And while Vikka keeps it strictly non-alcoholic on the drinks front, it welcomes you to bring your own bottle for a nominal BYO corkage fee of $4 per head.

  • Bayswater

Order the: Parma Lot – parmesan cream, stracciatella, cherry tomato, prosciutto, basil pesto

King Somm is a neighbourhood pizzeria, bar and bottleshop in Bayswater (yes, this means you can grab some amazing beers and wines to take away). Their pizza follows the traditional Neapolitan style, using the pasta di riporto method where the dough is left to proof for a minimum of 72 hours to ensure maximum conversion of sugars to give a light and airy dough. Each pizza is hand-stretched and cooked in an Italian electric oven with a small blend of traditional toppings with a twist. They run pizza specials on the weekends and also have a rolling selection of crust dips, so if you’re someone who leaves their crusts until the end, you can finish them off with basil pesto or saffron aioli.

Address: 13 King William St, Bayswater

Order the: Margherita to start, then move on to one of their specials

Enjoy pizzas at Si Paradiso in Mount Lawley, outside in their Italianate amphitheatre with a vino, soaking up the sunshine. Their pizzas have a 50/50 Roman and Napoli vibe, representing the best of both worlds. A longer ferment (96 hours!) makes their bases super light on the stomach, with a crisp base and crunch on the pillowy crust. The toppings are anything but ordinary and full of flavour hits, with rotating specials every two weeks driven by experimental ideas and seasonal produce.

You'll find Neighbourhood Pizza in Mount Hawthorn, hidden behind a supermarket car park in a spacious warehouse with communal tables. The pizzas are light and crisp, cooked in an electric oven, with dough made fresh using semolina – not commonly used in most doughs – for a crisper result that holds its shape, and rested for 24 hours. Don’t expect the usual traditional style of pizza toppings, but rather thoughtful toppings with less cheese to highlight the taste of the other ingredients.
