Searching for the perfect pizza

Finding a good pizza for a reasonable price is hard in Bali. There are a lot of places where you can eat for european prices, but compared with the cost for local food that’s just too much. I tried many different restaurats and in my opinion the best “pizza place” in Canggu, when considering the price-performance ratio, is the Pizza House.

The location is on Jalan Pantai Batu Mejan close to Echo beach and very nice and inviting. They have a huge garden with a lot of trees, a smaller covered area and a bar to drink cocktails and watch sports. The interior is not really “italian” but nice, an assortment of wooden and colored plastic furniture. The light from a mix of lampions and candles is perfect and creates a good atmosphere for dinner.

The pizza is wood-fired, what you dont find all too often in our area, and served on a wooden plate what causes a rustic impact. Also the smell emanating from the wood stove ist very appetizing. They have around 20 different kinds of pizza on the menu, but you can also create your own one. Price range is between 50.000 rp and 85.000 rp (3,00-5,50 €) so almost local prices for european flavor. My favorites are pizza “Italia” (sundried tomatoes, ricotta cheese, black pepper and rocula salad) and “Sassarese” with eggplant and extra sundried tomatoes.
So if you stay in Canggu this restaurant is your best option if you are in pizza mood.
