Marzano

Marzano Pizzeria is a beachfront Italian restaurant at Malibu Beach Resort in Chaweng, specialising in Neapolitan pizza cooked in a handcrafted tiled oven. The sea is only a few steps from the tables, so dinner comes with palms overhead, sand nearby and the sound of Chaweng Beach in the background.

The dough is made from flour, water, sea salt and yeast, then left to ferment slowly before meeting the heat of the oven. The result is the style people come for: a light crust with raised, blistered edges and the char that separates Neapolitan pizza from the heavier versions found elsewhere.

San Marzano tomatoes, mozzarella and basil keep the classic Margherita close to its Neapolitan roots, while the wood-fired oven remains visible at the centre of the experience. Guests can watch pizzas go in, arrive at the table minutes later and disappear quickly enough to justify ordering another.

Marzano suits couples, families and groups looking for proper Italian pizza without leaving the beach behind. It works for an easy lunch after swimming, wine under the palms or dinner before heading into central Chaweng.
