Everyone knows what great pizza means to them. It could have a paper-thin, crispy base or one so doughy it’s comparable to a pillow; it could be an abundance of vegetables and cured meats or simply a great, classic margherita (for the purists). Some of us even crave a bit of pizza-induced controversy (fans of a white base or those who opt for a pineapple topping, we’re looking at you).  But no matter your preference, whether it’s socially acceptable or totally unhinged to everybody else, you’ll find your perfect pizza pie somewhere in the world, and somewhere on this list, too. That’s because we’ve asked our travel writers and international editorial staff about their absolute favourite spots for when they’re craving a pizza, from Cape Town to Lisbon, Buenos Aires to Miami. We hope you’re hungry – don your napkin and read on for the world’s very best pizzas.  RECOMMENDED:🥪The best sandwiches in the world🥩The best steaks in the world🍝The best cities in the world for food This list was edited by Liv Kelly, a writer for Time Out Travel.

Tseng Tau Tsuen is a quiet residential village tucked away in Ma On Shan. There’s not a lot that goes on there, but with the upcoming opening of the mega Go Park Sai Sha, the village is soon to gain a new neighbour that will turn this serene locale into a vibrant hub of activity. This mall complex offers a wide range of sporting facilities, such as a multipurpose stadium that can be used for small concerts, a rock-climbing gym, a golfing range kitted out with Trackman radar technology, pitches and courts for various sports, and even an indoor swimming pool. But let’s be honest, what we’re really interested in, is the range of eateries that’ll be joining the mall.  Currently, Sports Bistro is the only dining venue that’s open for business inside Go Park. Aligning with the mall’s sports-friendly message, this restaurant focuses on nutritionist-recommended dishes, with options like all-day breakfast plates, salads, Asian rice and noodle dishes, and light snacks on the menu. We decided to check out the restaurant on a Sunday afternoon, and even though Go Park was still undergoing trial operations – meaning there was not much there besides sporting facilities – the restaurant was completely packed full of customers.  Luckily, we only waited for a bit before being ushered to our table. The restaurant’s venue was spacious and had large floor-to-ceiling windows, allowing plenty of natural sunlight to flow into the space. The decor is relatively simple, featuring a few sports-related

For some Hongkongers, the thought of making the long journey into the New Territories can deter them from visiting just for a meal, let alone exploring the area. However, many who live there will tell you that there are plenty of worthy spots to dine at – if you’re willing to sacrifice time to commute.  Adding to New Territories’ roster of restaurants is Dzô Dzô, a Vietnamese eatery under local dining group Taste Gourmet Group, proprietors of venues like Shanghainese and Sichuanese restaurant Azure 80 and Japanese-inspired French venue Tirpse. Meaning ‘cheers’ in Vietnamese, Dzô Dzô is located within New Town Plaza, one of the busiest and largest shopping malls in Sha Tin.  We visited the restaurant on a Monday evening and were surprised to find the restaurant packed with diners, even on a weekday. After a short 10-minute wait, we were taken to our seats. Despite being partially open to the mall, the restaurant is tucked away in a quiet corner, so we could dine without hearing any commotion. Dzô Dzô’s interior featuring a calming colour palette of green and white, with light wooden fixtures and potted plants creating a relaxed ambience for diners. The menu offers a wide selection of Vietnamese dishes ranging from light appetisers to entrees for sharing. Rather than ordering from Dzô Dzô’s a la carte menu, we were recommended by the staff to go for the dinner set for two (starting from $398) – which comes with two appetisers, a vegetable dish, one entree, and two drinks – so w

Japan’s curry specialist Caligari has opened their first overseas location in Hong Kong. This Tokyo-based restaurant boasts accolades such as nabbing first place in 2019 and 2023 at the Kanda Curry Grand Prix, an annual event held in Japan to crown the country’s best curry. Currently, the restaurant ranks as one of Japan’s 100 best curry restaurants on Tabelog, one of the country’s most popular restaurant apps.  Caligari’s Hong Kong outpost is located in a bustling area in Central but the restaurant is tucked away in an inconspicuous corner of the Entertainment Building, creating a comforting environment to enjoy your food. The restaurant has an understated white interior, complemented by accents from dark wooden furniture and fixtures. I visited Caligari at noon on a Saturday and to my surprise, there were only a few customers dining at the restaurant. Differentiating itself from other curry restaurants in Japan, Caligari uses a unique blend of spices like fennel, cumin, coriander, cinnamon, cardamom, cloves, as well as mustard seeds to add depth in their curries. By simmering their curries at high pressure and temperatures for eight to 12 hours, the restaurant achieves distinctly rich flavours. Customers can opt for rice sets served with Caligari’s signature curry – a harmonious blend of chicken and pork cooked down with coconut milk to render subtle flavours – or the premium spices curry – a velvety sauce that contains a dash of coconut milk and the natural essences of the

View this post on Instagram A post shared by Time Out Hong Kong (@timeouthk) Dara – meaning ‘auntie’ in Kapampangan (one of the eight major languages of the Philippines) and spoken primarily in the entire province of Pampanga – is a family-run business and is named after the restaurant’s executive chef and founder Imelda Bunoan, also known as Darang Mel (Auntie Mel). The modern Filipino restaurant originally opened in late 2022 within Art Lane in Sai Ying Pun; but has recently moved to a bigger location across the neighbourhood. The restaurant is tucked behind La Paloma and a stone’s throw from Call Me Al, so keep your eyes peeled if you’re trying to find their venue. The new venue buzzes with activity and exudes a lively atmosphere. Dara has kept the same colour scheme, furniture, and decor from its previous location; such as the arch design in their bar display, rattan and wooden fixtures, and hanging light bulbs. Aside from boasting a space that’s four times bigger than their previous venue, the new space features high ceilings, a large bar table that stretches as far as the eye can see, and a soon-to-open karaoke and billiards room that will be fully operational by January. It's an expansive space that's a rare find on this side of town.Since their move to the new location, Dara has expanded their menu to provide more affordable and filling Pinoy classics. Feeling hungry, we start off by tearing into a portion of homemade pandesal – a traditional bread roll – ($58) wh

If you’ve ever been on Peel Street, chances are you’ve most likely passed by Chôm Chôm. Like most venues on this dynamic street, you’ll most likely find a crowd of people at Chôm Chôm spilt out onto the pavement as they sip on cocktails and Vietnamese beer. This resto-bar has been an integral part of Soho’s bustling neighbourhood since 2013, but briefly closed its doors during the summer. After their short break, the Vietnamese eatery is back and ready to host diners and drinkers alike. Previous patrons of Chôm Chôm are familiar with the outdoor seating area, where you’ll find drink crates turned into makeshift stools and tables, as well as plastic chairs that would fill up their front entrance. While it isn’t the most glamorous seating arrangement, it added to Chôm Chôm’s character and paid homage to casual streetside eateries that you would see in Vietnam. Following their summer break, the restaurant has renovated its outdoor space to have two large benches built into the front entrance, but we suspect Chôm Chôm will bust out the plastic chairs once again when the time comes. Chôm Chôm doesn’t offer reservations, so be sure to arrive early, as this spot fills up quickly. Despite visiting on a busy Thursday evening, we were able to grab our seats right by the bar, which provided us with a clear view of Chôm Chôm’s kitchen. Chôm Chôm’s atmosphere was lively and full of energy, but the raucousness made it difficult to have a conversation at a normal volume. Nevertheless, the s

Featuring a stunning upside-down-hanging garden, Rue du Liban is the perfect place to sit back and relax.The eatery provides a modern yet authentic take on Lebanese fare, and allows diners to order a wide selection of sharing platters and regional dishes; such as starters like grilled halloumi cheese ($128), tabbouleh salad ($108), lamb sambousek ($118), and more. Move onto Rue du Liban’s grilled mains like chicken fatteh ($168), grilled tiger prawns with garlic sauce ($258), and mixed grill platter ($568). If you want to pair your meal with libations, Rue du Liban’s menu also provides a range of wine labels from Lebanon that should not be missed.

Rootdown is the newest addition to Sai Ying Pun's cafe-filled neighbourhood. Located just a few stops away from Sai Ying Pun's MTR Exit B3, this all-new cafe is nestled within the colourful walls of ArtLane and stands out with its unique exterior. Unlike other cafes in the area, Rootdown's venue has large wooden panels that are lined up to allow sunlight and wind into the cafe, while keeping the cafe semi-closed off from the street. Inside the cafe's venue, you'll find a few wooden tables and chairs, as well as a sleek metallic cafe-bar where their beverages are made. Rootdown's food offerings span from pastries such as croissants or toasted milk bread with maple brown butter (both $35), to savoury bites like nori chips or loaded potato skins topped with sour cream and pancetta (both $50). Additionally, the menu also provides a range of sandwich options such as grilled cheese ($70), as well as salami and pepperoni ($90). Regardless if you have a vegetarian diet or not, the 'shroom sandwich ($90) should not be overlooked. Containing three different types of mushrooms – maitake, shiitake chips, and a mushroom pate spread – along with arugula and pickled onions between crispy focaccia bread; this sandwich is packed full of flavour and umami. When it comes to beverages Rootdown serves up of plenty of coffee options, smoothies, and blended lattes. But if you care for some tipple, the bar also offers whisky or tequila highballs, wines; and even some of their own cocktails. 

Over the years, Kennedy Town has undergone a transformation evolving from a sleepy town into one of Hong Kong’s trendiest neighbourhoods full of casual eateries and restobars. Adding to the array of drinking establishments in this waterfront town is Blotto, a laid-back drinking den that prides itself on making sure you have a good time while drinking to your heart’s (and liver’s) content. The bar’s name was inspired from a 15th century term that means ‘to be extremely drunk’ - now, you’ll know what to expect when you swing by. The philosophy of Blotto is simple: ‘if it ain’t fun, don’t do it’, and the bar certainly follows that motto with gusto.  Blotto exudes a no-fuss, unpretentious divey vibe. It is simple yet honest, inviting you to unwind and have a great time. The bar's signage, painted in bold grey letters, almost gives the impression that the painter made an amusing mistake on the letters. Inside, the bar's interior is adorned with colourful metal stools and steel drum chairs. The walls are a cheerful mix of yellow, pink, and blue, decorated with cheeky murals portraying animals joyfully sharing pints or raising wine glasses. It's the kind of joint where you can kick back and gleefully gulp down a few libations without feeling like you're under a microscope. They also offer a modest collection of card and board games to keep you and your friends entertained throughout the night. The brainchild behind the bar is local mixologist Austen Lendrum, who is also the co-found

If you’ve recently walked past Linva Tailor on Cochrane Street, you may have noticed a new dining addition opposite the cheongsam tailoring shop. Indonesian Restaurant 1968 may seem unassuming at first glance, but little do people know, this restaurant has an extensive history and is one of the longest-standing Indonesian restaurants in the city. Their first restaurant originally opened on Yun Ping Road in Causeway Bay in 1968, and has moved across several locations in the CWB district and Central over the years, before finally settling down underneath the Mid-Levels Escalator this August. Indonesian Restaurant 1968 is owned and run by Hudson Chang, the grandson of the original proprietor, and he continues to carry out the legacy of his family. We arrived at the restaurant on a bustling Friday evening, but fortunately, we managed to secure a table without much delay. Stepping inside, diners are instantly greeted by the homely and rustic atmosphere that Indonesian Restaurant 1968 prides itself on. The decor showcases wooden tables, cosy booth seats, rattan chairs, and menus resembling a newspaper. Since the restaurant was packed, we were only able to get a seat at the bar table in the basement level, where the ceiling was noticeably low. Our dining experience was slightly hindered by a boisterous group of diners seated nearby. The low ceilings created a rather echoey environment, which made it challenging to maintain a conversation at a normal volume.The restaurant’s menu feat

Customers can choose from menu options such as a lunch nigiri set, a lunch omakase, or an exquisite dinner omakase – all of which will showcase the chefs’ expertise in sushi craftsmanship. Highlights of Kanesaka include dishes such as chef’s signature maki roll with akami, chutoro, and otoro; horse mackerel nigiri; monkfish liver; and Bafun sea urchin maki.

While Jardine's Cresent in Causeway Bay may seem like a like a standard street market full of stalls selling all sorts of knick knacks and home appliances, it's also home to Liao Za Lie, a casual restaurant that specialises in Shaanxi-style cusine. Diners can expect to find a wide variety of delightful appetisers such as rou jia mo – a crisp, flaky pancake stuffed with fillings such as minced pork or potatoes and onions; firey stir-fried dishes, and sharing dishes such as Sichuan fish with pickled mustard, or wide biangbiang noodles tossed generously in chilli and garlic that can be customised to your spice tolerance. 

Cocktail enthusiasts, listen up. With Asia’s 50 Best Bars taking place in Macau this July followed by Hong Kong hosting World’s 50 Best Bars in October, there’s plenty on the horizon for the drinks-loving crowd – and even more exciting news from the bartending scene. Lorenzo Antinori, co-founder of Bar Leone (ranked number 2 in The World’s 50 Best Bars 2024, and awarded The Best Bar in Asia 2024) and Simone Caporale, co-founder of Sips Barcelona (ranked number 3 in The World’s 50 Best Bars 2024, The Best Bar in Europe 2024, and The World's Best Bar 2023) are teaming up to unveil Montana, a Cuban-inspired bar that pays homage to the Club de los Cantineros, a collective of Cuban bartenders founded in the 1920s.  Photograph: Courtesy Montana Within the electric atmosphere of Miami in the 1970s, customers can look forward to sipping on classic Cuban cocktails, crafted with Antinori and Coporale’s creative bartending styles.

Staying afloat in Hong Kong’s food and drink scene is no easy feat. With steep rent prices, consumers travelling to Mainland China for affordable spending, and fierce competition between competitors, many local restaurants are bearing the brunt of high operational costs, leading them to make tough decisions. Unfortunately, after eight years of operating in Central, Uma Nota and Bedu by Meraki Hospitality are closing their doors on June 21. Founded by siblings Alex and Laura Offe in 2018, Meraki Hospitality has made its mark in Hong Kong’s culinary scene with its exciting eateries. According to the hospitality group, the decision to close both restaurants comes after the challenges of rising costs and the changing landscape of Hong Kong’s market. The founders also believe this pause will give them time to reflect, recharge, and introduce innovative concepts.    Photograph: Courtesy Bedu   “While closing these restaurants is bittersweet, the relationships and memories we’ve built together will always stay with us. We are deeply grateful to our community, and we look forward to welcoming everyone back with fresh ideas in the future.”, shared Alex. As Hong Kong’s first Brazilian-Japanese restaurant, Uma Nota opened its doors in 2017 and paid homage to Brazilian botecos – a hangout spot that serves alcoholic beverages and snacks. Following its success, Meraki Hospitality also launched Uma Nota’s concept in cities like Paris in 2018 and Manila in 2024.

It’s no shocker that Hong Kong is an expensive city to live in. With its stunning skyline, endless designer stores, and sky-high property prices, our bustling city is also a global financial hub. But how do we stack up against the rest of the world when it comes to wealth? According to a recent report by British investment migration consultancy Henley & Partners and wealth intelligence firm New World Wealth, Hong Kong has been named as one of the world’s wealthiest cities. The annual report uses expert insights to reveal each city’s total number of millionaires, centi-millionaires (individuals worth more than US$100 million), and billionaires, as well as how its millionaire population has increased in the past year. Hong Kong came in eighth place, boasting 154,900 millionaires, 346 centi-millionaires, and 40 billionaires. However, our city’s millionaire growth was fairly small, and only increased by three percent within the last year. In comparison, New York City nabbed the top spot on the global list with a jaw-dropping total of 384,500 millionaires, 818 centi-millionaires, 66 billionaires, and a 45-percent increase in millionaire growth over the last year.  Let’s hope some of that wealth trickles down to us regular white-collar folk. For now, imagining what it’s like to live comfortably like the one percent will have to do.
