If you’re a pizza lover in Karachi, you already know that Karachi doesn’t play when it comes to pizza. This city is filled with pizza joints that people swear by. But there’s always one name that gets dropped in foodie debates: Redbrick Pizzeria.
So, does Redbrick really serve the best pizza in Karachi? This is a very subjective matter, and to form a proper opinion, we need to look at all the other options too.
Let’s go through a list of the most loved pizza places in the city, based on personal experience (yes, I’ve tried almost all of them because someone had to do it).
Redbrick Pizzeria
The vibe was cosy and home-like but slightly upscale. It also has that signature smell of wood-fired dough hitting the air as soon as you walk in.
Redbrick’s wood-fired pizzas definitely look the part. They are crispy with slightly charred edges and a thin, chewy base. Their Truffle Mushroom and Redbrick Special are fan favourites, and you can taste the quality of the ingredients.
I’ll be real, I loved it. The flavours were deep, and the crust was so airy, you could eat a whole pie. It feels like a pizza made with intention. If you’re going for quality, Redbrick is definitely worth the hype.

Xanders
Who doesn’t know the vibe of Xanders? The infamous restaurant has modern café vibes that immediately made me regret not bringing my friends in with me.
The Pizza here was more of a gourmet flatbread-style pizza, with thin crusts and bold flavours. Try their Pepperoni or Chicken Jalapeno if you are going there for the first time.
I ordered the Chicken Jalapeño pizza, and honestly, it was SO GOOD. It was light and flavourful in the best way possible. It was satisfying, but not the greasy kind of satisfying. Go for it if you want a more elevated, less messy, and aesthetic pizza experience.

Napoli Pizza
The vibe is not so over the top, but it wasn’t bad either. It was understated and simple.
The pizza is a happy medium between traditional and comfort-style. Their crust is chewy with a crispy bottom, and they don’t shy away from generous toppings.
I had their Shrimp pizza on a random night and was genuinely surprised. You don’t hear about Napoli Pizza in every foodie thread, but you should. I think the Pizza place is super underrated and deserves more attention.

Espresso
Ah, yes, our favourite all-day café with great coffee and surprisingly great pizza.
Their pizza is on the thinner side (which I personally prefer more) and full of flavour. More of a café-style flatbread pizza, but done right.
I ordered their smoked chicken pizza during a brunch hangout, and I wasn’t expecting much. However, it was fresh, crispy, and hit all the right notes. Would I go there just for the pizza? Maybe not. But if I’m already there, I’m definitely getting one.

Broadway Pizza
Of course, the OG is here on the list.
They are known for their thick-crusted pizzas that have an insane cheese pull and giant slices. Dancing Fajita is their signature, according to many.
It’s nostalgic for me. I’ve grown up eating Broadway, and while it’s not the most “authentic” pizza, it’s a solid option when you want something heavy, cheesy, and comforting.

So… Who Wins?
My personal winner? Redbrick Pizza all the way. It’s not trying to be everything to everyone and has its own unique vibe. That being said, Xander’s is easily my second choice.
Pizza is personal. At the end of the day, what’s “best” depends on your mood, budget, and cravings, too. Try your own and maybe you’ll discover a hidden gem too.
