We visited L’Antica Pizzeria da Michele – 8 Club Street after reading so many glowing reviews, so our expectations were honestly very high. Unfortunately, the experience was a real disappointment.
We ordered two pizzas. The first one was already below expectations — the crust lacked character and the overall flavour was rather flat. The second pizza was even worse. The texture and taste were simply not enjoyable, to the point that we only ate about 50% and left the rest behind. It’s rare for us to leave pizza unfinished, but this was genuinely not worth finishing.
Considering the reputation of this brand, we expected authentic, outstanding Neapolitan pizza. Instead, it felt average at best. In fact, we have had many pizzas in Ho Chi Minh City that taste significantly better in terms of crust quality, balance of toppings, and overall execution.
The ambience is pleasant and the location on Club Street is nice, but good atmosphere alone cannot compensate for disappointing food.
Based on this visit, we do not feel it lives up to the hype.
