10 places for delicious pizzas in KL and Selangor

Soft (or crunchy) bread, rich sauce, ooey gooey melty cheese, and delicious meat: that’s a winning combination for any meal. Pizzas are tough to resist and we’re not complaining. Here’s a list of 10 places around KL and Selangor where you can enjoy some truly delicious pizzas.

1. Roast Factor Glee

Roast Factor Glee has evolved into one of those rare destinations with a real difference, with food and beverages that showcase a personal, perceptive and persuasive touch. You’ll want to linger here, soaking in the serenity and savouring each bite of the painstakingly crafted temptations. Pizzas are constructed with house-made dough, promising a crunchy, crusty and substantial base for creatively selected toppings.

A vegetarian pizza capably balances the sweet earthiness of beetroot with the peppery crispness of arugula and the soft creaminess of brie, while other options target meat lovers (smoked streaky pork bacon with caramelised pineapples and thyme), seafood devotees (garlic prawns, squid and salmon with capers and coriander) and cheese worshippers (mozzarella, cheddar and brie with cherry tomatoes and basil).

Address: G06, Village Shops, The Club, Persiaran Bukit Utama, Bandar Utama, 47800 Petaling Jaya

2. Huckleberry After Dark

For those of us whose appetites rise when the sun sets, Huckleberry After Dark is a beacon of light that could become a sleeper hit, shifting gears from a cheery daytime cafe into a somewhat edgier hangout with a suave funkiness – the menu is completely different at night, focusing on the sort of casual American soul grub that a roving LA food truck might serve up.

Huckleberry After Dark is made for hearty gluttony – abandon all hope of calorie-counting when confronted with pizzas like ‘Another One Bites The Crust’, with chicken sausage, mushrooms, mozzarella, egg and house-made tomato sauce blanketing a distinctive sourdough base.

Address: 2G & 4G Medan Setia 2, Plaza Damansara, Damansara Heights, Kuala Lumpur

3. Botanica+Co

Bangsar South’s most irresistibly ravishing restaurant is open – Botanica+Co is a sumptuous vision of Ficus trees standing tall amid a soothingly lush setting that’s ideal for leisurely lunches and serene dinners.

Pizzas are a cornerstone here; we’re happy to honour the Green Goddess, a bountiful harvest of kale, broccoli, asparagus, sugar snap peas and smoky pesto with goat’s cheese, an homage to vegetarians that’s distinctive and delicious enough to warrant the worship of any pizza devotee.

4. Mikey’s Original New York Pizza

As Ol’ Blue Eyes once crooned, start spreading the news: A slice of The Big Apple has surfaced in Bangsar, a safe harbour for huddled, hungry masses yearning to breathe free and binge on hot, hearty pizzas. Mikey’s marks a collaboration between native New Yorker Michael Helfman and Andrew Bellucci, a former New Jerseyan who began making pizzas in the 1990s. Helfman lured Bellucci to Kuala Lumpur with a mission to serve the sort of pies that Helfman has missed throughout his years in Malaysia.

Mikey’s pizzas will likely satisfy cravings, straddling the fine line between thin and thick for its excellent crust, crisp but simultaneously tender and easy to fold, light but luscious.

Address: 17 Jalan Telawi 2, 59100 Bangsar Baru, Kuala Lumpur; and D3-G3-3A, Solaris Dutamas, 50480 Kuala Lumpur

5. Brulee Brasserie

Brulee Brasserie has broadened its menu with a selection of playful pizzas that inventively incorporate both local and international inspirations. If you’ve never experienced a Sambal Petai Pizza before, that’s now one of the star attractions here, a tantalising thin-crust triumph for petai enthusiasts, teeming with slivers of the bitter bean, complemented with Brulee Brasserie’s kitchen-made sambal and cherry tomatoes.

Another domestically influenced delight is the Nasi Lemak Pizza, a fun fusion of Malaysian and Italian sensibilities. For For fans of Western brunches, the Big Breakfast Pizza might prove a hit.

7. La Risata

The menu exhibits an extensive variety of authentic Italian dishes ranging from delicious homemade pastas to meat and seafood dishes, as well as traditional wood-fired pizzas – all of which exude the very essence of Italian dining. Pizza is the undisputed highlight here – there are twenty different types to choose from, as well as the “half-half” pizzas (where two types are combined) that are best enjoyed when shared.

A standout dish would be the Pizza D’Anatra featuring succulent smoked duck, rocket, anchovies, sweet caramelised onion, and mozzarella cheese. Vegetarians need not worry as the Pizza Porcini (packed with porcini mushrooms, button mushrooms, and fontina cheese) stands head and shoulders above its carnivorous counterparts.
