Kilgore Trout Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 You could say that about any cuisine in the entire world. They all have global influences, Of course. Don't let the Food-Nazis get you riled. Thank you. I know you get it. It's really annoying how many people disrespect American food culture who don't have the slightest understanding of it. You guys are missing the point entirely; nobody is disrespecting anything; just calling a spade a spade. Also, if you are going after "American bashers" you should pick your battles more carefully, my post was actually in defense of the food served in the good ole USA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavidSL Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 Thanks for this thread, I've been promising to take my girlfriend out for a proper pizza after payday, and a new restaurant would be a nice change. I'd also recommend http://www.chililaroni.com/ - great quiet restaurant for relaxing (even though it's just off the main road!) and having some really good quality Italian food. Great pizzas, too. Not cheap, but certainly not expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FabianWeiner Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 My current favorite: Delizia At Ramkamhaeng Soy 164. Just drive in for 100 meters you'll see it. Owner is from northern Italy. Monday closed. Big very thin pizza for 200 to 300 THB! After that go for a drink to the Blue Monkey Bar right next to the Pizzeria. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zakmak Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 Have anybody tried PizzazZ Pizza on Sukhumvit Soi 22? My mate swears that they have the meanest, crispiest New York stylepizza in Bangkok, and some crazy topping too. He gets it delivered, but unfortunately I am out in the boondocks now and they don’tdeliver here, saying that they cannot guarantee that the pizza arrives crispy. If anybody knows if it worth the trip please let me know! Anyinfo appreciated. I am planning to go on Sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulysses G. Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 I would not describe NY Pizza as "crispy". It sounds like he is trying to trick you into going out of your way for Italian style. Are you sure that he isn't just having a laugh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sabaijai Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 I had pizza a couple of nights ago at Italian-owned Lido on Soi Si Bamphen. I thought it was excellent, would definitely order the pizza again. Very reasonably priced, as is the rest of the extensive menu. My favorite pizza in town at the moment is that served at Clouds, Thonglor 13, which has only been open a couple of months. It's more of a bar than a restaurant, in appearance at least. Foodwise all they serve is pizza and salads. The pizzas are gourmet-style, and made from all-fresh, imported ingredients, baked in individual portions: 1. Oregano, Sea Salt and Olive Oil (Veg) 60 Baht 2. Tomato Sauce, Mozzarella Chunks, Basil (Veg) 130 Baht 3. Grape, Honey, Mozzarella, Rosemary Oil (Veg) 140 Baht 4. Pesto, Parmigiano Reggiano Cheese (Veg) 140 Baht 5. Ham, Pineapple, Chili, Mozzarella, Tomato Sauce 150 Baht 6. Zucchini, Mint, Basil, Pine Nuts, Goat Cheese (Veg) 160 Baht 7. Balsamic Onion, Goat Cheese, Parsley (Veg) 160 Baht 8. Egg, Tomato Sauce, Black Olives, Artichokes (Veg) 160 Baht 9. Spicy Chorizo, Mozzarella, Tomato Sauce 160 Baht 10. Prosciutto, Tomato Sauce, Basil, Mozzarella, Fresh Tomato 190 Baht 11. Portabello Mushroom, Tomato Sauce, Taleggio Cheese (Veg) 190 Baht 12. Egg, Prosciutto, Tomato Sauce, Artichokes, Black Olives 190 Baht and salads: Ceasar Salad / Greek Salad : 180 Baht Rocket Salad with Warm Mushroom Dressing : 210 Baht Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
negreanu Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 Big Pizza Still think this is the best pizza for delivery in bangkok. Chicken dippers are also excellent! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamora Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 Zanotti is pretty good! At least the best bought pizzas I have had in Bangkok, but nothing beats homebaked! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulysses G. Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 I do not agree. There is no way to get the crust right in a home oven and that is what makes pizza so good - although I am yet to find a good pizza crust in Thailand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heat your oven to 300-350 c from the bottom, and then put a thick solid granite stone in the bottom of the oven, you can get pretty good results. And the crust gets perfect!

Richard4849 Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 Best pizza I've had in Thailand? The ones they served at Bella Napoli (Sukhumvit 31) in the early days of their existence, with their original Italian pizzaiolo. Nowadays, my vote would go to Spago in Ubon Ratchathani. No joke!

TantraMantra Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 Real New York pizzas are often said to be the world's best. And now I've to repair my laptop after having sprayed my whole whisky on the keyboard, thank you very much. The first pizzeria in the United States was opened in 1905 by Gennaro Lombardi, at Lombardi's in Little Italy, Manhattan. -O American Pizzas with their deep pan, thick crusts are generally rubbish. But it's true you find real Italian style thin crust Pizzas of a very high standard in NYC. There are so many Italians in NY and they don't anyone messing with their original recipes.

Sorry, but American pizzas are usually thin crust, not deep dish and they have a different texture from the Italian, Italian cracker crust kind. I never understood the deep dish fad.

alexth Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 Bella Napoli gets my vote, seconded by Scoozi, then again I haven't been tried any of them for almost 2 years, maybe there's new good places, but I have never been disappointed at Bella Napoli in my 4 years in BKK, can\t wait to go back there next month Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brit1984 Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 A (transgender) acquaintance of mine recommended this thread and, although the restaurant described by the OP has since ceased trading (and its domain name has been taken over by a pornography company), it is still an excellent thread, except for the c.100 posts that are focused on the pointless debate about whether Italian or American pizza is better (we all have different tastes) I would like to add my support for Bella Napoli (as referred to in posts #29, #76, #135, #150, #161, #196 and #258), which in my opinion should please both lovers of Italian pizzas and those who prefer an American-style thicker base (given that their Neapolitan bases are quite deep); it also has a great (cosy) atmosphere (and most importantly for me is walking distance from my house) With regards to the criticism of their service (post #161) I would agree that they do get very busy sometimes; if I see that it is particularly busy I just go to Himali Cha Cha (Indian) which has a branch just across the road. The only other criticism on this thread was post #196 where the poster said the pasta is better than the pizza; I would say the pasta is nearly as good as the pizza Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokie36 Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 A fine appraisal that brit. My favourite place is the one at Asok station on the lower floor. I like it cos it sells by the slice.

Heaven forbid I try to eat a whole pizza these days...my metabolism clearly aint what it used to be! I agree with you, that place it's one of the new Italian restaurant in Bangkok but the concept is very innovative, seems an "Italian fast food" but the quality it's very good, I often choose the antipasto Italiano which is one of my favorite, even pizza is good they said it's "Roman style".

smokie36 Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 Hmm the only way I can describe this place is to say if ya walked out of the Hard Rock cafe on to the main road and turned right...I think three blocks down...on the left is an Italian restaurant. Almost opposite what used to be the steak place. Seating is upstairs. Anyway if you are lucky enough to find it with those terrible directions the food is excellent and well priced.
