Ipoh may be famous for its white coffee, bean sprout chicken and old town kopitiams, but the city has quietly built up a proper pizza scene worth planning a weekend around. From the homegrown Miker brand that Ipohans grew up on, to wood-fired pies made by hand and Italian pizzerias tucked into heritage shoplots, there is a slice here for every mood and budget. Whether you want a cheesy family dinner, a late-night supper craving fixed, or a quiet date over a thin, blistered crust, the options have grown well beyond the usual chains.
We did the homework so you do not have to. Every spot on this list holds a Google rating of 4.0 or higher, pulled from real diner reviews, and we have left out places that have closed or slipped in quality. We ranked them by how many people have reviewed each one, so the most-loved and most-visited pizza spots sit near the top. Here are the 10 best places to eat pizza in Ipoh, from busy local favourites to newer craft kitchens worth the drive.
What Kind of Pizza Can You Find in Ipoh?
More than you might expect. At one end you have the crowd-pleasing chains like Pizza Hut, US Pizza and Vivo Pizza, which are reliable, halal-certified and easy for families. In the middle sits Miker Food, the local brand Ipoh diners are fiercely loyal to, known for value and generous toppings. At the craft end, spots like Woodfire Ipoh, MichelangelO’s and Basilico turn out hand-stretched, wood-fired and Italian-style pies with charred crusts and quality cheese. So whether you want familiar comfort or a proper artisan slice, the city covers both.
Halal or Non-Halal: Which Pizza Spot Should You Pick?
It pays to check before you book. The big chains on this list, Pizza Hut, US Pizza and Vivo Pizza, are halal-certified and safe picks for Muslim diners and mixed groups. Local favourite Miker Food and Western cafe Lima Grill are popular with a broad crowd, so confirm the current status directly if halal matters to your table. The Italian-leaning spots such as Rossi and Basilico may serve pork or alcohol, which suits a dressed-up dinner but not every group. When in doubt, a quick call ahead saves any surprises.

1. Miker Food
If Ipoh had a hometown pizza hero, it would be Miker. This Riverwalk flagship along Kinta Riverfront is where the brand’s loyal following comes for thin, crispy pizzas loaded with toppings at prices that undercut the big chains. The menu runs well beyond pizza into pasta, chicken chop and Western plates, so a mixed table is happy here. It only opens in the late afternoon and runs into the night, which makes it a solid dinner and supper pick. Expect a casual, buzzy setting and a queue on weekends, because half of Ipoh seems to have grown up eating here.

2. MichelangelO’s Pizzeria
A long-running favourite in Medan Ipoh, MichelangelO’s is the spot Ipohans point to when they want a proper sit-down pizzeria rather than a chain. The pizzas come thin and hand-topped, with classic Italian combinations and a crust that gets a good char. It is dinner-only and closed on Mondays, and the space is snug, so booking ahead on weekends is smart. Portions are honest and the pasta is worth a look too. This is a relaxed, no-fuss place that has kept its regulars for years by simply doing the basics well and not cutting corners on the cheese.

Sometimes you just want the familiar, and the Ipoh Central outlet on Jalan Datuk Onn Jaafar delivers exactly that. This is the dine-in Pizza Hut everyone knows, with pan and stuffed-crust pizzas, the bottomless soup and the regular value deals that make it a reliable family option. It is halal-certified, air-conditioned and open all day, so it works for a lunch stop, a kids’ birthday or a fuss-free dinner. The menu rarely surprises, but that predictability is the point. When the group cannot agree and everyone just wants pizza that hits the spot, this is the safe call.

4. Woodfire Ipoh
For pizza with proper smoke and blister, Woodfire in the Canning area is the one to beat. As the name promises, the pies are baked in a wood-fired oven, giving that leopard-spotted crust and slightly chewy chew you only get from real heat. The style leans Neapolitan, with a short, quality-led menu and toppings that let the dough do the talking. It is a cosy, modern space that fills up fast, closes on Mondays and runs later on weekends. Come for a laid-back evening with a couple of pizzas to share, and pay attention to the specials, which is where the kitchen shows off.
Operating Hours: Tue–Thu 12:00 pm – 10:00 pm; Fri 3:00 pm – 11:00 pm; Sat–Sun 12:00 pm – 11:00 pm; closed Monday

A homegrown Malaysian chain, US Pizza has built its name on thin-crust pizzas at prices that are easy on the wallet, and the Kampung Simee outlet is a steady local pick. The crust is light and crisp rather than doughy, and the buy-one-free-one style deals make it a genuine value option for families and students. It is halal-certified and open all day into the late evening, so it slots in for lunch, dinner or a takeaway on the way home. Nothing fancy, just honest thin-crust pizza and quick, friendly service that keeps the neighbourhood coming back.

The setting is calm and a touch more polished than the casual spots on this list, which makes it a lovely choice for a date or a small celebration. It runs a lunch and dinner service with a midday break, so check the timing. Pair a pizza with a pasta and let the kitchen do the rest.

9. Basilico
Tucked around the atmospheric Lorong Panglima in Ipoh’s old town, Basilico is the cosy, evening-only pizza spot for a more grown-up night out. The kitchen keeps things simple and Italian-leaning, turning out hand-topped pizzas with a thin, crisp base and a short menu that changes with what is good. The heritage-street location gives it real character, and the intimate size means it fills up quickly, so arriving early or booking helps. It is closed on Wednesdays and opens only from the evening onward. A charming choice when you want good pizza with a bit of old-town romance and none of the mall bustle.

10. Ipoh La Pizza
Rounding out the list is Ipoh La Pizza, a newer, late-night spot in Taman Chateau that is built for supper cravings. It only opens in the evening and stays open well past midnight, so it fills a gap the daytime chains cannot, when you want a fresh, hot pizza at an hour most kitchens have closed. The pies are made to order with a thin base and a casual, no-frills vibe that suits a relaxed hangout with friends after a night out. It is small and still building its name, but the late hours and honest pizza make it a handy one to keep in your back pocket.
Operating Hours: 7:00 pm – late (from midnight to 1:30 am, varies); closed Tuesday
