I had 4P's twice and found both experiences to be good.
The first time I ordered a half/half pizza with prosciutto & burrata and the other side the kebab. When they deliver their pizza they truly make sure all ingredients are packed separately and arrive fresh as your doorstep. The burratta, prosciutto, chilli oil, chilli sauce, parmezan and rucola were all packed separately.
The prosciutto & burratta and kebab pizza was of amazing flavour, good dough that held itself up and crispy crust. I was so surprised by the quality I actually decided to go there and experience it for real with some friends.
The second time I came with two friends and we had reserved a table for outside. I ordered a small pesto and clams pasta, a lasagna and we ordered a bottle of pinot grigio Terre Dei Buth to share.
My friends ordered two half/half pizzas and they ordered the following: Salmon pizza, prosciutto and burrata, bo (recommend pizza), cinco/quatro formaggio.
All the pizzas we ate here were of good flavour, always consistent in quality and my friends absolutely loved it.
The pesto and clams pasta (small) was actually a lot better than I expected it to be. The flavour was rich and punching and the pasta was cooked nicely. The lasagna is often a hit or miss outside of Europe and I have to say that the lasagna was of decent quality! The lasagna was packed with flavour, the layers were filled beautifully and the tomato flavour was pleasant.
The table has several condiments on it, nearly all of which the restaurant makes itself and wet wipes to clean yourself before, throughout and after your meal.
The service is comparable to a more fine-dining establishment and they do their jobs well. They always make sure that your water and or wine glass is filled and they check in frequently to see if you need anything.
Yet, speaking of fine dining, there were certain things that they can improve on: When they fill the wine glasses it is essential that a lady is served first (which they did), yet they don't serve the label towards the guests while pouring. Secondly there was a lot of spillage while pouring every time she refilled the glasses.
My friends ended with a tiramisu and I ordered a Mojito to end our dinner with. After having a great dining experience I have to say that the mojito was one of the more average to bad ones I have had in my travels in Vietnam. For an establishment like this I was expecting the bar to serve better quality than they did. This might have been a one-off, yet it did not sit closely to the standard that the restaurant has in terms of service and food.
Sitting on the balcony we had a good view of how the service went and the staff was consistent with all guests which I liked very much.
Overall a great experience and probably the best Italian food I have had outside of Europe. You should keep in mind that it is different from authentic Italian food, but the food they serve you is absolutely worth the praise. I would highly recommend anyone visiting this place if you fancy Italian...
Read moreDuring my first visit to Ho Chi Minh City, I was eager to savor authentic Vietnamese cuisine, but on our last night, we stumbled upon an unforgettable culinary experience at Pizza 4P’s (Pizza for Peace) near Ben Thanh Market. What a delightful surprise it was!
We began our meal with the Rooster Terrine served alongside a rich pate mousse and a tangy cranberry sauce, an exceptional appetizer that set the tone perfectly. Next came the organic kale salad, fresh and vibrant, a great palate cleanser before the main event.
For the entrée, we indulged in two pizzas with four different toppings, taking full advantage of their option to customize half-and-half pizzas. The toppings included spicy garlic shrimp, burrata with Parma ham, Hokkaido scallop miso gratin, and salmon miso cream. Each pizza was a masterpiece, bursting with layers of flavor, and what truly elevated the experience was the fiery chili oil condiment served on the side. It added a perfect kick and enhanced the complexity of every bite.
Dessert was no less impressive, we enjoyed a creamy tiramisu and a decadent fondant chocolate cake paired with house-made vanilla ice cream to close out the meal on an indulgent note.
The service was outstanding, with our waitress Nhu providing thoughtful explanations about the dishes and the story behind the restaurant.
We were equally mesmerized by the open kitchen where about ten pizzaiolos worked in harmonious “steady chaos,” expertly crafting pizzas in the center of the restaurant. Their professionalism and coordinated energy reminded me of the bustling intersections in busy Ho Chi Minh streets—calm yet full of life.
In sum, Pizza 4P’s delivered the best dinner I had in HCM, a perfect blend of innovative, high-quality Italian cuisine with local influences that surprised and delighted me. A huge thank you to the entire hardworking team at Pizza 4P’s Ben Thanh for such an extraordinary...

Great service, very smiley and attentive. No problem with english. Best waiter, thank you Hung!
What we ordered:
Grilled Squid with Mango Salsa - Good albeit abit standard and boring. Yummy.
Buratta Pizza - AMAZING! A MUST ORDER! Try it with the honey, without the honey, with honey AND chilli oil, the flavours all go so well together! The parma ham doesnt have the strong flavour that most parma ham ive tried has. RECOMMEND! Will order a FULL pizza next time.
Beef Bulgogi Pizza - Tasty, but you can skip this. Needed MORE beef. Too much veg. More like veggie pizza with a side of beef. The beef was very well marinated and tasty!
Crab Pasta - Delicious! Strong bold albeit one dimensional flavour. Can't go wrong with this!
Salmon Cream Pizza - SURPRISINGLY GOOD! As a pizza fanatic, I would not even SUGGEST salmon on pizza. Only a crazy psycho would suggest that. But this actually works out pretty decently! Go for it if you're in to try something new rather than the usual beef,peperoni or pork. Have it with chilli oil for a little kick too!
Spicy Garlic Prawn Pizza - Finally, saving THE BEST for last, this was an unexpected HIT! Our table of 4 scored this a "8.5", "8.5", "9" and a "10". An absolutr BANGER and i highly recommend this pizza! The flavour was garlicky and immense, no chilli oil or honey needed! Such an absolute thrill to my tastebuds, and I will definitely be ordering a FULL pizza of this the next time i'm back.
Talking about the next time i'm back, I'm certain it wouldn't be long. The toilet is clean. The atmosphere is great. The service, quality. The food, DELICIOUS! This restaurant SLAPS!
Thank you Hung Dang for your...
