As a self-proclaimed foodie living in Hyderabad, I’m always on the hunt for new and delicious dining experiences. And one of my favorite foods to eat when dining out is pizza. There’s nothing better than a hot, cheesy slice of pizza made with fresh, high-quality ingredients.
So when I recently found myself exploring restaurants in Kukatpally, an area known for its shopping complexes and corporate offices rather than its food scene, I made it my mission to track down the top local pizza joints that would satisfy my foodie needs. After tasting my way through pepperoni, margherita, and chicken tikka pizzas made by small, independent spots across the neighborhood, I uncovered 5 local pizza restaurants in Kukatpally that deserve a spot on any food lover’s must-try list.
1. 800 Degrees Neapolitan Pizza
As soon as I walked into 800 Degrees, I knew I was in for an incredible pizza eating experience. This casual restaurant owned by a local entrepreneur makes Neapolitan-style pizza, meaning thin crust pizzas baked in an extremely hot oven to create a crispy exterior while keeping the inside chewy with just the right amount of char. I decided on the gorgeous Toscana pizza with mozzarella, parma ham, arugula, shaved parmesan, and a drizzle of lemon olive oil. With wonderfully fresh flavors and the perfect texture, this gourmet pizza quickly won me over. 800 Degrees definitely serves some of the most authentic Neapolitan pizza in all of Kukatpally.
2. Pizza Bakery & Espresso Bar
Pizza Bakery & Espresso Bar keeps things classic with New York-style pizzas loaded with cheese and high-quality toppings. I tried the chicken sausage pizza and was thoroughly impressed with the thin yet crispy crust that held hefty amounts of mozzarella and provolone cheese, spicy chicken sausage crumbles, spinach, and a zesty pizza sauce. This small neighborhood gem is definitely a great spot for foodies who love creative topping combinations on traditional New York-style pies. And with an in-house espresso bar featuring specialty coffee drinks, Pizza Bakery allows you to satisfy both pizza and caffeine cravings.
3. La Pino’z Pizza
When I visited La Pino’z Pizza, I was recommended to try one of their popular Indian-inspired pizzas. I went with the chicken tikka pizza, which came loaded with chunks of spicy marinated chicken, red onions, tomatoes, cilantro, and drizzled with cool yogurt and La Pino’z signature sauce. This unique fusion pizza perfectly blended classic Italian pizza flavors with beloved Indian tastes. La Pino’z makes an outstanding option for foodies seeking innovative pizza creations in Kukatpally. The head chef and owner brings his passion for great food to every specialty pizza.
4. The Italian Food Factory
While newer to the pizza restaurants in Kukatpally than other spots, The Italian Food Factory has already made a name for itself thanks to the dedication of its Italian head chef. I tried their Italian Sausage pizza baked in a woodfire oven and topped with cherry tomatoes, stirata mozzarella, parmesan, and basil. Every component worked in perfect harmony for an incredible pizza experience. From authentic Italian pies to pasta dishes, this local restaurant transports diners straight to Italy with flavors that certainly impress foodies.
5. Ace’s Pizzeria
For the last pick, I had to include Ace’s Pizzeria, a beloved neighborhood pizza joint in Kukatpally run by a passionate team. I decided on their Pesto Chicken Pizza loaded with diced chicken, tomatoes, red onions, olives, fresh mozzarella and topped with pesto sauce made in-house. Ace’s serves up piping hot, generously sized pizzas with care taken on every step of preparation. For a dependable classic pizza at reasonable prices, foodies will appreciate the hearty, cheesy offerings at Ace’s Pizzeria.
