Pizza 100, Ho Chi Minh CityPizza 100 Review: Is This One of the Best Pizzas in Ho Chi Minh City?
A hungry family, a simple local room, and dough that unexpectedly brought Rome back into the conversation.
Is Pizza 100 one of the best pizzas in Ho Chi Minh City?
Pizza 100 is one of the pizzas this Mangoes & Palm Trees family would return to in Ho Chi Minh City. A medium Margherita and small Meat Lover stood out for their dough, quick welcome, and price-to-quality balance. This is a first-hand family verdict, not a citywide ranking.
Key takeaways
- Our order: medium Margherita and small Meat Lover.
- Price recorded: the medium Margherita cost us 99,000 VND.
- The strongest impression: dough with a crust we kept comparing to pizzas enjoyed in Rome.
- Setting: busy, informal, local, and people-focused rather than polished.
- Location: Pizza 100 is publicly listed at 256D Bạch Đằng in Bình Thạnh.
- Who it suits: families and visitors who travel for food, people, and atmosphere.

New city · hungry arrival
Why Pizza 100 caught our attention in Bình Thạnh
The room was already moving. Pizza 100 did not look staged for visitors. It looked local, food-led, and busy with its own rhythm — the kind of table we hunt after a travel-heavy day.
A hungry arrival. We had recently moved from Thailand to Ho Chi Minh City for the next stretch of our 2026 Southeast Asia journeys. Natalia was looking at opportunities around medical English teaching and lecturing, so we were exploring an area close to universities with the luggage that follows a family between countries.
That is precisely the sort of place we want to find while building the next part of our family food and travel archive and our Vietnam restaurant guides.
What is Pizza 100 like?
Simple by design. Pizza 100 is informal, energetic, and clearly not trying to imitate a five-star dining room. We were there for the food, the people, the service, and the texture of a real local stop.
If polished interiors and luxury furniture are the main measure of a restaurant, this may not be the right fit. If food and the human experience are the reason to travel, the modest setting becomes part of the point rather than a shortcoming.
What did we order at Pizza 100?
Two pizzas, no hesitation. We ordered a medium Margherita and a small Meat Lover. The Margherita cost us 99,000 VND during this visit; we were so caught up in the food and conversation that we failed to write down the exact Small Meat Lover price.

|---|---|---|
| Margherita | Medium | 99,000 VND paid during our visit |
| Meat Lover | Small | Exact price not recorded |
How was the Margherita?
The useful test. The Margherita gave us the clearest read because there was nowhere for the dough to hide. The photographs show tomato, cheese, basil, and a browned rim; what stayed with us was how completely the dough held the meal together.
The crust was properly satisfying, not an afterthought around the topping. Having recently enjoyed a memorable pizza weekend in Rome, we had a clear personal reference point — and Pizza 100 genuinely surprised us.
The dough held the meal together. The crust was not an afterthought around the topping.
How was the Meat Lover?
A different direction. The Small Meat Lover gave us the contrast we wanted after the Margherita: a more substantial, meat-forward pizza that still let the dough remain central. We are deliberately not naming the individual meats because we did not record them and the menu photograph did not document this pizza’s full topping list.
We loved it. That is the honest version, without pretending to remember a price or an ingredient list we did not write down on the day.
What makes the Pizza 100 dough stand out?
The lasting detail. The dough was done to a standard that made us pause and compare notes. We kept returning to our Rome reference — not because Pizza 100 needs an Italian label from us, but because the pizza itself earned the comparison.
What was the service like?
Fast, warm, easy. Service was efficient and friendly from our table. Bob, the owner who welcomed us, introduced himself as Bob and made the welcome feel personal without turning it into a performance.
He was enjoyable to talk with, and his name was easy to remember. We are not drawing any wider cultural conclusion from that small moment; it is simply how this welcome landed with our family.
Is Pizza 100 good value?
For us, emphatically yes. The quality-to-price balance was one of the surprises of the visit. A 99,000 VND medium Margherita that left this much of an impression made the meal feel generous.
The forgotten Meat Lover price is a reminder that a good meal can take over the notebook. Menu boards showed a wider pizza range, including vegetable, pepperoni, Carbonara, Chicken and Bacon, Beef and Broccoli, Prosciutto, and Cinque Formaggi options — photographed for context, not as a promise that every price or item is current.
Is Pizza 100 good for tourists and families?
It worked for ours. The food came quickly, the welcome was helpful, and the meal gave us a break after a travel-heavy day. That does not make a universal family guarantee, but it is honest evidence that this kind of simple, lively restaurant can work when expectations match the place.
Natalia’s Standard
This was a busy, informal room after a demanding travel day — not a quiet dining room for a long sit-down. We ate as a family, at a normal pace, in a setting that felt local rather than staged.
If you are travelling with a child, go expecting energy and a simple table, not hush and polish. That is the honest family-care note from this visit, not a medical claim.

The Victor-tested table
Victor sat with us at Pizza 100 — the photograph at our table is the proof. We are not inventing a quote; the visit was a family stop after a demanding travel day, and he ate with us.
Our final verdict on Pizza 100
One of our best pizza memories. We cannot honestly claim to have blind-tasted Ho Chi Minh City pizza from one end of the city to the other. We can say that Pizza 100 became one of the best pizzas we have experienced worldwide, in our own first-hand experience, and a place we would gladly return to.
Pizza 100 became one of the best pizzas we have experienced worldwide — in our own first-hand experience, not as a citywide crown.
That conclusion belongs to the whole visit: the hunger after travelling, the simple room, the quick service, Bob’s welcome, the family table, and a dough good enough to keep Rome in the conversation. It belongs alongside the other meals in our restaurant guides, not above them as an objective crown.

Pizza 100 questions we can answer from our visit
Is Pizza 100 good?
Yes. Pizza 100 left us impressed by the dough, quick welcome, and the way the pizzas ate as complete meals rather than cheap fast food. We ordered a medium Margherita and a small Meat Lover, and both made us want to return. That is our first-hand verdict, not a citywide ranking.
Is Pizza 100 worth visiting in Ho Chi Minh City?
Pizza 100 is worth visiting for travellers who care more about a memorable meal, welcoming people, and value than polished dining-room design. The setting is informal and lively, while our food and service experience was excellent. Go expecting a local pizza stop rather than a formal Italian restaurant.
What should I order at Pizza 100?
Start with the medium Margherita if you want to judge the dough, tomato, cheese, and crust without distractions. We also enjoyed the small Meat Lover for a more substantial second pizza. The Margherita cost us 99,000 VND during our visit; we did not record the exact Meat Lover price.
