The 31 Essential Restaurants in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam
"Pizza 4P’s started in a Tokyo backyard, where founder Masuko Takasugi and his then-girlfriend (now wife), Sanae, decided to build an outdoor pizza oven, planting the seeds for what would become an award-winning operation. In 2011, they left the corporate world and started their venture in Ho Chi Minh City, with a first location off Le Thanh Ton Street in Japan Town. Wanting to keep the price point low, they decided to make their own mozzarella cheese at a facility in Da Lat, and have since expanded production to include favorites such as Camembert and burrata. The thin-crust pies range from traditional (e.g., Parma ham, cherry tomatoes, arugula, burrata) to inspired (salmon sashimi with onion ricotta cheese sauce), and there are vegetarian options too (zucchini, zucchini flower, and basil with house-made lactic cheese). Don’t want pizza? Then go for the house-made pasta with crab sustainably sourced from the Mekong Delta." - Linh Phan
