They didnt have seafood pizza which is what I wanted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps it is all the work that goes into beating the s##t out the dough, and tossing it up artistically. Or the capital cost of the oven. I eat it very rarely, IMO there are better dishes around.

In Thailand and many other countries, you can be convicted of slander even if what you say is true. There is nothing the Thai authorities can do if you commit "defamation" when you are outside the country, unless that country has the same dafamation nonsense as Thailand.

I make my own pizza most of the time, using a store bought thin crust base, topped with a thin tomato dressing and some mozzarella cheese – – – and after I have cooked that, I add my own precooked chili con carne.

True its bread plus a couple of cheap toppings. That depends on the Pizza of course... Quality pizza requires quality ingredients and wood fired pizza oven... The ovens are costly to make or buy... but that aside, the ingredients and time required to make a good pizza vs the type of pizza pictured (earlier in this thread) are not the same... ... it may be called pizza - but its not the same pizza... Additionally... Toppings vary... from quality cheese, quality tomatoes... there is even a significant difference between rubbish and quality pepperoni... This... If I just want ‘bread plus a coupe of cheap toppings I’ll have a ham and cheese toastie !!!... But if I want Pizza... I’ll have something such as Massilla Pizza... ...or even Pizza Mania... But thats Bangkok. There must be some excellent Pizza restaurants in Pattaya too... But... for 99 Baht, my exceptions would be so low I’m not interested... That said, this thread is not about the quality of Pizza being served..... Its about what appears to be either deliberate false marketing by the restaurant to get people in the door... Or a clumsy mistake by the restaurant to continue marketing an expired promo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IF you ran a restaurant and advertised your sandwich 99 baht, and IF there was anyone who wanted to eat it and came to your restaurant, and you told them, the 99 baht one wasn’t available, but the 250 baht one is.... Their irritation would be perfectly understandable. There... On topic ! You can now go back to learning about manners in Thailand !!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
