Could you imagine having the opportunity to eat some of the best pizzas in the region right here in KL? Well, that’s exactly what Wong Yin-How has put together with Pizza Summit Malaysia 2026.
Assembling an Avengers superhero line-up of four pizza maestros from South-East Asia, Pizza Summit Malaysia 2026 will take place at Kuala Lumpur’s Proof Pizza + Wine on 12 and 13 November over two time slots: 5.30pm and 8.30pm. Wong is behind Tinkerman Collective, which owns and operates Proof Pizza.
The idea to put together the summit began germinating in Wong’s head after a few years of attending the top 50 pizza summit, which honours the best pizzerias around the world. Proof Pizza is currently the only Malaysian pizzeria on the 50 Top Pizza Asia Pacific 2026 list.
“The last few years we’ve been going for the top 50 pizza summit and we got close to a few pizzerias in South-East Asia. We always had this idea of doing a pizza summit and we also wanted to celebrate our 11th anniversary at the same time,” says Wong.
The event is now coming to fruition and will feature A Mano from Makati, the Philippines (ranked No 9 on the 50 Top Pizza Asia Pacific 2026 list); Five Olives from Phuket, Thailand (ranked No 26 on the list) and Marni, also from Phuket (ranked No 39 on the list). Rounding out this awesome foursome is Proof, which will be hosting and also participating in the event.
Wong says putting the event together hasn’t been without its challenges, as each pizzaiolo (skilled pizza artisan) has a particular way of making their own dough and cooking their own pizzas. Featured pizzaiolos include Stefano Canosci from A Mano, Kwang Sinpradit from Marni, Korn Sinpradit from Five Olives and Lim Kim Hwa from Proof Pizza.
“We have actually hired an extra oven so we will have two ovens running for the event and we have minimised the other dishes so the kitchen is fully focused on the running the event.
“So there will just be two desserts and one pasta in order to ensure that it’s all hands on deck in making sure the pizzas get out. And one thing we have to standardise is everyone has agreed to use our (Proof’s) dough,” says Wong.
Diners will have the opportunity to try two signature pizzas from each featured guest pizzaiolos and there will also be a salad bar, pasta and desserts, all priced at RM168++ per person.
