Local pizza tips you’ll want to know

If you’re staying near Naama Bay but want something away from the tourist crowd, walk a bit over to Hadaba for better pizza deals and shorter waits. Il Mercato is my go-to for that wood-fired goodness you don’t always find here.

Also, don’t overlook pizza with local ingredients like dukkah-seasoned crust or topped with molokhia leaves. You won’t see that back home. That garlic dip with most pizzas? It’s not just tasty, it’s basically a little local signature. Try it extra. If you’re dining late, many places open past 11 pm, which is great when you want a casual slice under the stars.

Frequently Asked Questions

Got pizza questions? Here’s what locals usually want to know in Sharm El Sheikh.

For something genuinely good, check out Il Mercato in Hadaba. They fire pizzas in a wood oven, and you really taste the difference. It’s less touristy, and locals pop in regularly. The classic Margherita or a spicy Diavola are solid choices.
Most big resorts have their own pizza options, but for independent delivery, places around Naama Bay like Bacio Pizza usually deliver quickly. Just double-check if your hotel accepts outside food, especially if you’re staying in a more upscale spot.
Veggie pizzas aren’t hard to find, but vegan might take a little digging. Places like La Dolce Vita in Soho Square offer customizable options with veggies and no cheese if you ask nicely. It never hurts to call ahead.
Yes and no. Some spots like Pomodoro sprinkle chili flakes or offer a spicy sausage pizza, but it’s usually mild compared to other places you might know. If you want it hotter, ask to add chili oil or fresh peppers.
Definitely. Naama Bay tends to be pricier, especially in tourist-heavy zones. If you head to Hadaba or Old Market areas, you’ll find better deals for bigger pizzas with more toppings.
