goforit Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 Today I was heading south on Canal Road and noticed just past the entrance to Kool Punt Ville 7 there was a sign up for Pizza in a new store about 200 meters on the left. Does anyone have any info on this new pizza place and if it's already open? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KhunDave Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 Drove by for a look this afternoon. Francesca's Italian food and pizzas, eat in and take away. Not open yet, but pretty close I would say - they were setting up tables inside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goforit Posted February 11, 2011 Author Share Posted February 11, 2011 As soon as I know they are open I will stop in and give it a try. Actually went back to the Pizza & Pasta joint Saturday a week ago and the place was dead with only one other customer the whole time I was there. First I drove past Coachs Pizza and didn't bother stopping as there wasn't even one person in the place. It would be great if you could actually get a decent pizza in this area. Here's hoping.

venturalaw Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 It's a challenge to find decent pizza anywhere in Chiang Mai. Looking forward to reading your review. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ridgley's in San Sai was the best that I found but unfortunately had to close due to Thai banking property management procedure. But they still did not compare to what I use to have back home.

Ridgleys in Sansai was the worst I've had in Thailand. There are no great pizzas in Chiang Mai that's for sure. There is a lot of O.K. pizzas here like the Dukes and Pizza Koh Lanta.

Clearly we disagree about Ridgleys but it doesn't really matter since it no longer exists. Where is Pizza Koh Lanta? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roger1999 Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 Pizza Koh Lanta is on Nimmanhaemin Soi. 5. The SCB branch on Nimmanhaemin is located at the corner of Nimmanhaemin and Soi 5. Their pizza is perfectly edible, but not great pizza. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexpoker Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Why is pizza so expensive all over Thailand? I like both the american style pizza like The Pizza Company and the italian style(thinner crust). My very favorite pizza is the italian style with thin crust and then tomato sauce and mozarella. After the pizza is done, you quickly put chorizo salami, rocket salad on top. Sprinkle some shaved parmesan cheese on top and finish with green pesto dressing. The spicy combination of chorizo, rocket salad complimented by the parmesan and pesto, makes this the ultimate pizza in my book Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

venturalaw Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 Why is pizza so expensive all over Thailand? I agree. And not only is the pizza overpriced relative to the quality, but have you checked out sushi in Thailand? It's expensive as hell and absolute crap - even in the, for lack of a better term, high end (comparatively speaking) places. Sushi back home was soooooooo much better and less than half the price. It's not like it's difficult or complicated to make. I don't get it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KRS1 Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 After spending 15 years in Thailand and coming back to the US, I've come to realize the pizza in Thailand isn't actually that bad at all if you know where to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulysses G. Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 (edited) Of course you have to put lots of mayonnaise and ketchup on to really appreciate a made in Thailand pizza. Edited February 24, 2011 by Ulysses G. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not like it's difficult or complicated to make. I don't get it! You're joking about the sushi, right? Sushi here is practically free. The problem is to overcome the temptation to eat this plentiful. extremely inexpensive food, knowing that it is probably not very fresh and has not been refrigerated properly.

Ulysses G. Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 (edited) I don't think that he means the street-stall kind of sushi. I would guess that pizza is expensive because decent imported cheese is not cheap. Edited February 24, 2011 by Ulysses G. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I was talking abouyt the strett stall/market sushi but even in the Japanese restaurants it's about all the sushi you can eat for 200-300 Baht. I can drop $50-$75 in a sushi bar in the states without even trying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
