Served very good quality pizza with home made sauce. Can taste the quality ingredients used on the toppings like ham & etc, including the olive oil used for dipping. Also recommend trying their pasta. Not the usual commercial but looks like a family ran pizzeria. Cooks are very dedicated to serving good food.

The service and food was outstanding! We had the Burrata Caprese, its a must get item, mind blowing. We also had the prosciutto and mushroom pizza and the fettuccine with cream sauce and mushrooms and they were both fantastic. We thought the food was better than most of the places we ate in Italy. Great job!!!!

The staff were amazing — super attentive and made sure we were comfortable the whole time. The food was excellent, especially the homemade pizza baked in a stone oven. The passion fruit tea was delicious. Definitely deserves a full 5 stars!

We had a fantastic experience at PizzaHana! The first thing you notice is the lovely homely ambiance—it feels incredibly welcoming and is spotlessly clean. A huge plus is the dog-friendly upstairs seating, which is perfect for pet owners looking for a comfortable spot to dine with their furry friends. ​As for the food, the pizza is easily one of the best we have ever tried. They offer unique fusion toppings that are creative and delicious. Don’t skip the pasta either; it was exceptionally flavorful. Highly recommended for anyone in Penang looking for great food and a warm atmosphere!
