Where can I order a good pistachio pizza for delivery? This is probably the question I hear most often, so here are some of the best pistachio pizzas you can enjoy via delivery (or takeaway) in Catania and its province!
There are hundreds of rankings of the best pizzerias, searching for light doughs, quality ingredients, or original combinations, but this one is dedicated to true lovers of the "green gold", focusing primarily on the pistachio flavor! Obviously, all other factors that make a good pizza are taken into account, but the pistachio must be the protagonist and not just "an ingredient on the list".
[ IMPORTANT ]
The rating from 1 to 5 indicates the intensity of the pistachio and NOT the overall quality of the pizza!
A bad pizza wouldn't be in this ranking!
The order in which they appear DOES NOT represent a ranking.
Since pizza is a very complex product, where different ingredients must coexist, the concept of "best pistachio pizza" takes on different nuances, based on the rating:
- 9/10: very intense pistachio
- 8/10: well-defined pistachio
- 7/10: subtle pistachio, but still relevant in the overall balance
This ranking should be seen as an excellent tool to discover the best excellences and find your personal favorite, because between one pizza and another there are many nuances, in terms of dough and ingredients, that fall into the realm of personal taste.
Pizzeria Sant'Agata - Catania
9.0/10
Located in the Picanello district, their strong point is the pistachio cream, which has an intense pistachio flavor and is very creamy without being heavy. Numerous pistachio pizza and calzone options are available on the menu. The dough, in the Catania style—halfway between rustic and soft—holds up well for deliveries.

Nuovo Forno da Vincenzo - Catania
8.0/10
Specializing in traditional Neapolitan dough, which is soft and thin, with a small crust (cornicione). The dough is melt-in-your-mouth and well-seasoned, ideal for lovers of authentic Neapolitan pizza, but not recommended for those looking for thicker or crunchier crusts. I tried the pistachio pizza with sausage and potatoes, well-balanced in flavor, with a cream-based pistachio sauce that convinced me for being homogeneous and never cloying, capable of providing a pleasant sweetness. The pistachio flour topping is also generous. Their red pizzas are also excellent (read the full review).

Perlage - Catania and Sant'Agata Li Battiati
9.0/10
Among the best takeaway pizzerias in Catania, with a curated menu that includes several pistachio options, among which the "Bronte" pizza and the "PistacchioFoodPorn" scacciata stand out for their balanced taste and high-quality, not-too-oily pistachio pesto. The dough, which uses whole-wheat flours, is different from the classic Catania pizza, making it very interesting. The presence of 2 locations—one in the center of Catania and one in Sant'Agata Li Battiati—is very convenient for covering the Etna area towns as well.
