uptheos Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 The Dukes. Second to none. You should enter one of those 'finger on the button quizzes' However, I agree with you on Dukes........Mad Dog is OK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dante99 Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 I much prefer Georgio or Casa Antonio pizza. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uptheos Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 The experts will be along shortly.....is the OP looking for New York (Manhattan, Bronx & Staton Island too), San Francisco up hill or down dale, Lower Naples, Rome south side, Phrae - thick, thin, cheesy, no cheese, spicy not spicy....no crust at all etc? They are all out there....believe me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolf5370 Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 Used to love The Guitarman's pizzas (haven't been there for a while) - also Happy Pizza (Ban Wan Tan turn off of Hang Dong Rd - just past Macro same side). I prefer the Italian type pizza than the pizza hut style, so this weighs my selection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wjmark Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 The Dukes. Second to none. You should enter one of those 'finger on the button quizzes' However, I agree with you on Dukes........Mad Dog is OK. For non-Italian, not super-thin crust, but rather the thicker, more 'American' style: Dukes, Mad Dog, Guitarman, Pizza and Pasta, Eight Inch, Babylon. I hear that the pizza at Noi's Cuisine is pretty good, and the UN Irish is ok on a good night...

calibanjr. Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 For very simple, clean, thin-crust NY style, Paradise Pizza across from the UN Irish is good. If you like loaded-up slices, then the Dukes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidOxon Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 Another vote for Happy Pizza, Hang Dong road, particularly Thursday night 'Live Music' night. David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pjclark1 Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 I've not found anywhere doing decent pizza yet. Mad Dog, base too wet In fact, almost all have a similar problem, tomatoes too runny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mestizo Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 Koh Lanta has great pizzas that are wood fired in a brick oven. Best pizza in town. Map on their website: http://www.kohlantapizza.com/location.html -Mestizo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elektrified Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 Koh Lanta has great pizzas that are wood fired in a brick oven. Best pizza in town. Map on their website: http://www.kohlantapizza.com/location.html -Mestizo Koh Lanta gets a thumbs up from me as well. Their pizza's are excellent. The chicken lasagna is also very good as are the salads. Best to call and place your order 30-40 minutes in advance of getting there; either for dining or take-out. The owner does all the cooking himself and at times the wait can be 45 minutes or more for your food! I also like the Dukes pizza. I've tried most (not all) of the Italian owned places and each place has disappointed me; particularly the one in the Nimmanhaeman area that begins with a B!

Sushi75 Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 For a really good, original italian-style pizza I would recommend a small place called "Viva Pizza". The owner (and chef) is Thai but has lived in Italy for many years, so you get the real deal. Pasta is great too. It´s located between CM Saloon and the Reaggae-Bars. Whenever I need my regular pizza-/pasta-fix I go there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickSee Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 For genuine Roman style pizza try La Villa. Best I've had in Thailand so far. RS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paagai Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 As someone who's lived in Italy, I think there is little here that comes close to real Italian pizza. The only consistently good one I've tried is Rustica in Punna Place of Nimmanheminda (where the Power House Gym is). Little place that only does Pizza (and recently some German sausage), nice touch is the section in the menu destructing many of the myths about Pizza. They do a Porcini and Garlic which is to die for. I only hope it survives as never see too many people there. And they manage that in a conventional (Non wood) oven too. IMHO the Dukes is about as far from Italian Pizza as Italy is from America! Not to say it's bad, just not Italian and not for me. Koh Lanta I didn't rate, maybe 5 out of 10, but haven't been in ages. Also, not bad is Girasole. Tried Stefano's once a few years back - never been back - nuff said. Also, the now defunct place who's name escapes me on the river near the superhighway never impressed either, though some of the regular food was good. I liked Guitarman's pizza but can't comment further without declaring an interest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is interesting as I would describe Rustica as an American pizza which is pretty good "for Thailand", but would not be up to much back home.

cmone123 Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 Try La Fontana inside the old city. Owned & operated by an Italian & his Thai wife. I agree. La Fontana wins. Try the Calzone. Not your traditional pizza, but very good definitely enough! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SadieMBeagle Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 I really, really love the pizza and pasta at "8 Inch" Italian restaurant. It used to be on Huay Gaew Road, but a couple of months ago it moved to the riverside area, directly across the street from the big pink teahouse called Vieng Joom On. All their food is delicious; it's Italian with a Thai twist (ok that sounds weird, but I promise it's really good!) The restaurant name comes from the size of their pizzas, which are just perfect for one person. Crust is extremely thin and is whole-wheat, though I think you can get regular crust too. Price is reasonable too, ranging from 120-160 baht. I find both their pizzas and pastas to be a bit drier than most Italian food. It all depends on your personal taste, of course, but I don't usually like the type of Italian food that is thick and creamy, where you can feel your arteries hardening with every bite! Highly recommended. As for Koh Lanta pizza, I have to say 2 thumbs down on that one. I find their pizza to be soggy, with toppings that just aren't very good quality. But they do have free delivery, which is nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
