champers Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 (edited) If you are looking for a crispy bottom try Bella Italia on 2nd Rd, near the sauna opposite Soi 6, or their smaller outlet; Little Bella Italia; on Soi 31 off Naklua Rd. Prices from around 200 Baht with a wide choice of toppings. Edited November 4, 2017 by champers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigt3365 Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 Drifters in NaJomiten. Great pizza, craft beer, and right on the water. Perfect for watching the sun set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Halfaboy Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 I would suggest Grottino in Soi 33 (off Naklua Road). Italian quality ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He specifically asked for NAPOLI style. Does Grottino do NAPOLI style? That is a very specific thing. A subset of Italian style pizza. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, true Napoli style crust will BEND when you pick it up. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neapolitan_pizza Quote When cooked, it should be soft, elastic, tender and fragrant.

Cory1848 Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 Peppina's in Bangkok (Sukhumvit Soi 33) is pretty decent; they claim to adhere to guidelines set by the Associazione Verace Pizza Napoletana (not sure if they fly in the required variety of tomato on a daily basis). But you have to travel to Bangkok. Don't know of any places in Pattaya that do this ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeyrobot Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 Brooklyn pizza opposite LK metro is pretty good, I get the pepperoni,mushroom,onion& black olives. I always get them to cut it into 6 pieces because when they cut into 8 it’s too much to eat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We went to Napels / Pompeii last year. First thing we noticed were huge pizzas with XXL crust borders and very little topping. 8 euro if I remember well.

KittenKong Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 I would say that the Margherita in Pizza Pizza at the Avenue qualifies as Napolitan style, though in Thailand I would never bet money on where the individual ingredients really come from, no matter the price or the outlet. Just 80B at the moment. Thailand's pizza bargain of the year and it's a mystery to me why anyone would go elsewhere and pay a lot more when that is available.

I agree it's a great bargain but I still go elsewhere because there are no toppings and I like other places better. Cheapness isn't everything unless you're very broke. Not knocking it. Have been twice already for the deal. Edited November 4, 2017 by Jingthing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, to be fair if it had toppings it wouldn't be a Margherita. Toppings are available there, but not at that low price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL....having a preference for a certain type of food is hardly snobbery, but maybe you are a bread and butter or cup noodles kind of person. Even then, there are many types/brands. Thanks to others for the many interesting responses, never realized there was even an official certification!

greatwhitenorth Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 There are actually 7 styles of pizza that are native meals in Italy. Pizza Napoletana- hard crust and from the city of Naples. Pizza al Taglio- hard thin crust cut into strips and cooked in an electric oven. popular in Rome Pizza Sciciliana- hard crust, square popular in Sicily Pizza Romano Tonda- thin hard crust, hard enough there is no sag popular in Rome Pizza Fritta - a pizza folded in half and deep fried - it will give you a heart attack popular in Naples Pizza Alla Pala- oblong shaped and up to a meter long, thick crusted - a group meal Calzone- smallish pizza folded in half and baked - originally from Naples I quite like Bella Italia located on 2nd road at the end of soi 6 reasonably priced and very good food Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about buying this bargain as a take-away, bringing it home and adding some ingredients? Maybe a budget way to get the job done? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The softness of the Neapolitan pizza crust partly comes from its being cooked in a 900℉ wood-fired oven. The air bubbles in the dough are pushed outward to form the cornicione or rim of the pizza base. The rim will swell, char and blister before the interior dough has dried out and hardened. But the dough itself is made to be elastic, able to cradle the tomatoes and mozzarella and toppings in a fold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
