Pizza 4P’s Bao Khanh - Pizza restaurant in Hanoi

Few restaurants in Hoan Kiem hold a 4.9 rating across nearly 29,000 Google reviews — Pizza 4P's Bao Khanh is one of them. The brand built its reputation across Vietnam on a single premise: cheese made in-house, fired in a wood oven, and served the same day it's pulled. That discipline shows on the plate. The mozzarella has a freshness that imported varieties rarely match, and the crust carries the slight char and chew that only a proper wood-fired deck produces.

The Bao Khanh location sits on a quiet alley off the Old Quarter grid, which gives it a slightly more composed atmosphere than the street-level chaos a few blocks away. The room draws a mix of Hanoi residents marking an occasion and visitors who've done their research and booked ahead. It positions itself as fine dining without the formality — plates arrive with care, but the room stays relaxed.

What separates Pizza 4P's from the generic Italian options clustered around Hoan Kiem Lake is the sourcing philosophy and the Japanese influence behind the menu. Toppings lean on locally grown produce, and the half-and-half pizza format lets the table sample two directions without committing to one. The combination of that rating volume and that consistency score is unusual for any restaurant in this city, let alone one in one of Hanoi's most competitive dining corridors.
