Pizza

[Sheryl]

Taking my niece out for her birthday, she wants pizza. Where is best these days, preferrably mid-sukhumvit area?

Basilico, 8 Sukhumvit Soi 33, tel. 02 662 2323, got a great review in the Bangkok Post sometime over the past two weeks. I haven't been but I plan to go soon.

Bella Pizza is close by (same street). I went there ~ 5 months ago, it was OK, good but not great.

Big Mamas between Suk Soi 19 and Asoke.

I dare say Thai's prefer Pizza Company with the Tom Yum Goong topping and lots of ketchup added at the table the most. You can spend more or get more authentic, but honestly doubt she would enjoy it as much.

Probably the worst place to have a pizza. Probably the worst Italian place with the Pizza Company, if we can even call the latter an Italian restaurant.

Overpriced and food is terrible. Avoid at all cost. It was good for a month when they opened last year, but the Chef is probably Thai now and is cooking Italian food Thai style if you get my drift.

Limoncello on Suk 11.

Bella Napoli, Sukh 31.

Difficult to get a table without reservation or long wait.

[The Skipper]

The best?

Try La Piola, end of Soi 11, or Pendalosco, Soi 2,

Real wood fired pizza ovens.

[The Dude]

The Dude has has a massive craving for no's but he cannot find one in Thailand. Anyone know where one is? Oh I mean Domino's

sawasdee, i had one of the nicest pizzas ever at an austrian pizza restauurant on sukhumvit soi 4. they cook the pizzas outside the reastaurant and they smelled gorgeous which was what tempted me inside.. yum yum yum

For Thailand the pizza in Central foodloft Chidlom is actually pretty good...not many toppings though

The food is less than medoiocre in my opinion, but honestly - have you ever read a bad restaurant (or resort) review in Bangkok Post.......?

Limoncello on Suk 11.

Agreed - this is the best I've had in BKK, just behind the German Beer House halfway down Soi 11 on the left.

I second this.

0-2259-0405 for reservation.

Or Scoozi on Surawongse Rd or Zanotti in Saladaeng.

Limoncello on Suk 11.

Agreed - this is the best I've had in BKK, just behind the German Beer House halfway down Soi 11 on the left.

Another vote for Limoncello.

Wood fired pizza oven, Italian pizza chef (on occasion). Good atmosphere, BUSY, not cheap (but not excessive either).

Turn left immediately after the beer garden (coming from Suk) it's at the far end of the sub-soi.

WARNING These are real ITALIAN pizzas, thin crispy base (not US style pan pizza). Just so your niece is not dissapointed.

The best pizza imho is at the Marriot deli, soi 2. 120 baht slice and worth every satang...my fav being the shrimp and jalapeno pizza or the mushroom n spinach.

I really miss creative pizza's from 'back home' like say spicy italian sausage, with olives, feta cheese, pesto, fresh garlic and, and, and....

I can also vouch for the Austrian pizza place on soi 4 mentioned earlier. Just ask the owner and he'll throw whatever you want on a special order. Delish!

We went to La Piola, she loved it. As authentic Italian as you can get (even waiter was Italian). However, for me I am a native New Yorker and long for a real New York style pizza....any recommendations for that?
