Where to Find the Best Pizza in Chania, Crete
Best pizza places in Chania, West Crete. Read on to discover where to eat authentic Italian pizza in Chania during your visit.
Are you heading to Chania (Crete) this summer and already thinking about your favorite dish? I understand! If you’re looking for the best pizza in town, then you’ve come to the right spot. Twenty-two years living in Italy plus two Italian sons have taught me everything about authentic pizza and—especially—what pizza to avoid when living abroad.
Six years living in Chania, instead, have taught me that finding good pizza out of Italy is a quest! I’ve tried them all, from fairly good and somewhat Italian-ish to terribly bad and even crazy expensive, plus doubtful quality ingredients.
So, if you trust me, or you are coming from Italy and looking for the right pizza fix, you’re in the right spot to find the best pizza in Chania.

When it comes to the best pizza in Chania (or anywhere else in the world) to that matter, I don’t care if it’s a restaurant, delivery, or takeaway. All I care about is my pizza.
In this post, I’ve included places that make excellent, very good, good, and decent pizza in Chania, not caring about having to eat it on the spot or taking it home with me. Oftentimes, I’ve bought slices of pizza at my fav pizza joint and eaten while walking down the alleys in Chania.
And if you’re in a city hotel where only breakfast is included in your fee, then you may want to treat yourself to a pizza. Even better if delivered right to your room after a long day at the beach.
Even more so, if you’re renting an Airbnb in Chania, and the will to cook might equal zero after a long afternoon sightseeing… And after all, you’re on holiday! So, without further ado check these pizza restaurants, pizza for delivery, and take away pizza… and, in every case, tested by yours truly…

Chania has some fantastic pizza spots that blend traditional Greek flavors with classic Italian style. Here you go, then, the best pizza Chania!
Mozzarella Dinner
📍 16, Ir. Politechniou Street, Chania – website
📞 (+30)2821 056200
🍕 Dine-in, delivery, and takeaway
A good pizza restaurant in Chania, not strictly Italian in style, but it has a delicious crust and creative toppings.
The restaurant is near the Court House of Chania (Dikastiria neighborhood), and it is a good place for a pizza dinner or even just drinks in Chania when you want to avoid the center but still be in a gorgeous neighborhood.
Oregano’s Pizza Restaurant

📞 (+30) 2821 032240
🍕 Delivery, take out, dine in
Located in the quiet Agioii Apostoloi quarter, between Chania and the seaside area of Platanias, this Italian restaurant has earned excellent reviews for their quality food made using local ingredients.
Other than deliciois pizza cooked in a fire oven, they also serve pasta and risotto, as well as Greek food and mezedes. The menu features Cretan wines and cocktails too.

📍 76, Chatzimichali Giannari Street, Chania – website
📞 (+30) 2821 056300
🍕 Delivery, takeaway, and a few places to sit.
This is the first pizza place in Chania we ever visited and it never stops surprising me how tasty this pizza can be. I’ve already mentioned this place in my article about street food in Chania because there’s always a freshly baked pizza ready to be served in no time.
Funky’s has tons of flavors (the one with veggies is great), but they also serve burgers, crepes, and salads for very, really very cheap prices. If you’re on a budget, you’ll be eating here a lot.
Another of my favorites, Funky’s is the place we choose to stop with the car for a quick takeaway when we feel like a couple of slices and a coke after midnight. We enjoy driving to a nearby secret spot right by the Lighthouse for a romantic pizza fix after an evening in town.
Pappardelles
📍 2, K. Tsismenaki St. &, Daratsos, Chania – website
📞 (30) 2821 032300
🍕 Delivery, takeaway, and dine-in
Another great place where to get pizza in Chania is Papardelles, and it’s not just pizza, but breakfast, brunch, dinner, and more! In this place, you must try Pizza Carbonara.
And it has excellent reviews by fellow Italians. Do we all know how picky can Italians be when it comes to pizza? That says it all.
If you’re hanging out in Daratso, or near Platanias, and don’t feel like coming to town, this is the place to go.
La Prima
📍 29, Ir. Politechniou Street. or 28, Leof. Irakliou, Chania – website
📞 (+30) 2821 076868
🍕 Delivery, takeaway, and dine-in
Another Chania pizza place with fair reviews online and delivery available. Might be a little bit too thick for Italians, but I find the pizza tasty.
They also serve traditional pasta, very good salads with Italian ingredients (check prosciutto & ruccola pizza!), and ice cream!
INSIDER’S TIP: If you’re in the mood for ravioli and love a good cheese sauce, try their Palermo Ravioli. Also enjoyable is their courtesy pizza bread hot from the wooden oven!
The Italian Job
📍 68, Chatzimichali Giannari Street, Chania. – website
📞 (+30) 2821 020201
🍕 Delivery, takeaway, and dine-in
It might not be the greatest pizza in town, but it does the job (and quite a good job!) at a fair price.
If you’re not after a fancy place and will be happy with a few toppings to choose from you can head to The Italian Job.
This is a small place a bit off the old town, but it’s easy to reach on foot from the Public Market. They also serve good pasta and a surprisingly good risotto.
Laganon
📍 68, Daskalogianni Street, Chania – website
📞. (+30) 2821 114808
🍕 Dine-in and curbside pickup
A great place in Chania for pasta (which is their main specialty), Laganon also makes outstanding pizzas.
I believe it is among the best places to eat in Chania, and not just pizza, therefore you will also find it in my best restaurants in Chania post. Laganon is in Splantzia, a few meters from the square and it is often full, which is never a bad sign.
You can check their pizza menu online here.
Insider’s tip: They make authentic carbonara with guanciale!
Yes, maybe there are not many places for good pizza in Chania, but the ones on the list do know how to make their pizzas. Have you ever tried Chania pizza?
