Forget what you’ve heard about Goa being just about vindaloo and beach shacks. While we’ll always have a soft spot for a spicy prawn curry, Goa has evolved into India’s unofficial pizza capital, where wood-fired ovens are as common as palm trees and the sourdough starters are guarded like family heirlooms.
Whether you’re a Neapolitan purist or a fan of a thin-and-crispy Roman crunch, we’ve scoured the coast and the lush lanes of the interior to find the slices that truly matter. Pull up a chair – you’re officially part of the inner circle now.
