Trần Pizza

Trần Pizza is a Neapolitan-style pizzeria on Nguyễn Trãi street in District 1, Ho Chi Minh City. The establishment operates from a street-front space, serving pizzas baked in a high-temperature Ooni oven. Founder Trần Trọng Hiếu prepares the dough using a 48-hour biga fermentation process. This method creates a light, airy crust with characteristic leopard-spotting.

The setting is simple and informal, resembling a local street-food stall. The space features basic tables and plastic chairs for seating. Guests can observe the pizza-making process, from dough stretching to baking. The pizzeria operates with a small team, centered around the founder. The venue maintains a casual, family-run atmosphere.

The menu features classic Neapolitan pizzas alongside more creative options. Signature offerings include the Carbonara pizza, which is topped with guanciale, parmesan, and a raw egg yolk. Other popular pizzas are the Four Cheese, the classic Margherita, and a Ham and Mushroom pizza. The kitchen also creates specialty pies, such as a Pork and Eggplant pizza or a Chicken and Pesto version.

Trần Trọng Hiếu is a self-taught pizzaiolo who developed his skills through independent study. The pizzeria has moved locations since its founding, settling into its current District 1 address. It has gained a following through social media and word-of-mouth. The establishment focuses entirely on its pizza offerings.
