The Home Pizza is a wood-fired pizzeria at 129 Tran Hung Dao, the main street of the Long Beach area. It started in a small kitchen in 2016 and is known for hand-stretched dough baked in a very hot oven and topped with Vietnamese ingredients, alongside the classics. The name says it all: the atmosphere is warm and homely.
It is a good break from seafood, and works well for families with children and budget travellers.

What to order
The base is thin and chewy, close to Neapolitan style, with a puffed, crisp crust. Fusion toppings include Sa Pa H'Mong duck, a north-western style pizza with local spices, seafood pizza and a Phu Quoc-style durian pizza, plus a classic Margherita. There are also pasta dishes, salads and sides to share.
Atmosphere and visiting
Warm lighting and wooden furniture inside, with tables on the street outside. Evenings are the busiest time, so book ahead for a group. Seats by the oven, where you can watch pizzas being made, are popular with children. The restaurant is reported to have a weekly day off, so check opening days before you go. Long Beach sunset, then dinner here and a walk along Tran Hung Dao makes an easy evening.
