Originating just a few years ago, Hu Tieu Pizza is an invention of a noodle production facility in Can Tho. This half-Western, half-local name came about when a Western customer visited the noodle production facility and, after tasting the dish in Tay Do, exclaimed their impressions. Thus, it became the name of this unique dish in Can Tho.
If traditional pizzas are characterized by a baked dough base, the people of the Mekong Delta prepare it in their own way using familiar dough. The highlight of the dish lies in the accompanying toppings, which are not beef or the usual tomato sauce, but fried eggs, braised meat, and ruoi soaked in rich coconut milk.
