Vivo Pizza is all about passion. Their secret recipe originates from the mysterious Horrigan family, which they’ve adapted with local flavours. Working hard to bring the best pizza to Malaysia, Vivo Pizza uses only the freshest ingredients and 100% mozzarella cheese.
Ambience & Amenities
Vivo Pizza at Paradigm Mall is a bright space with lots of comfortable booths. The chain’s signature word, “passion,” is one of the first things you’ll notice when stepping into the restaurant. The colour scheme is mismatched – red, yellow, grey and turquoise chairs mix randomly with each other – but it gives the place a fun atmosphere.
There’s a hand-washing sink at the back of the restaurant on the right side. The nearest toilets are next to the parking escalators (across from the Family Mart). Leave Vivo Pizza and turn right to head towards the Brands Outlet. Go down the corridor next to Tomaz, past the elevators, and turn left into the skinnier hallway next to the escalators.
Menu at Vivo Pizza
Pizza, funnily enough, makes up a small portion of the Vivo Pizza menu. There’s a wide selection of pasta dishes and main courses with vegetables, rice or potatoes. If you want hearty comfort food, you’re sure to find something here. Water costs RM1.90 per glass. This is also the first pizza place that I’ve seen that offers breakfast. The breakfast menu is limited, offering egg paninis and sausage platters with tea or coffee available from 8 am. All of the food at Vivo Pizza is pork-free and halal-certified.

Food at Vivo Pizza
We ordered an Apple 3 Tea (RM12.90) to drink. It was a non-carbonated, lightly sweet beverage at the “regular sugar” level. The bountiful amount of Granny Smith and Fuji apple slices made for a nice dessert after our meal. I was about to grumble about there only being two types of apples, until I saw pineapple chunks at the bottom of the glass. Pineapple, get it? There were three apples in here, in a way!
The Mac & Cheese Bites (RM16.90) are wonderfully cheesy and stringy on the inside. While the outer fried shell was piping hot, the pasta was cool to the touch. There was more than enough of the accompanying spicy mayonnaise dip for the bites and our pizza crusts.
The Pulled Beef Pizza (RM38.90 for Regular size) is about 30 centimetres with 6 slices, certainly enough for two to share. The server brought shakers full of chilli flakes and parmesan without us having to ask, which was a nice touch. This pizza had a plentiful amount of the promised three toppings (beef, onions and cream cheese) and some bonus coral lettuce. The pulled beef was perfectly tender with smoky char at the edges. This pizza is barely sauced – I could taste the tang of tomato sauce here and there, but the sweetness of the caramelised onions and creamy baked cream cheese are the main flavours. Despite being a thin pizza, it still has a satisfying chewiness in the crust.
Saturday Worthy?
I was honestly expecting the food to be meh or bad, but Vivo Pizza impressed me. The food quality is better than what I expected for the price. It’s not my first choice for pizza, but it’s also much less expensive. Vivo Pizza is a valid option for a casual, filling meal.
