Probably both the cheapest and the most authentic pizza I've had in Vietnam. Proper oven, proper ingredients, proper training, no messing around!

And the prices are sure to please. Located within walking distance of the backpacker district. Note the shop is very small, only a few small tables available facing the noisy traffic.

"From gutter grub to gourmet tables, Noodlepie is a blog about scoff and swill in Saigon". I write it - so please excuse the self-promotion - having said that, it is a useful guide that takes in the places and the dishes from the pavement up that other guides don't often get to grips with.
