Pizza in Thailand

[blackman]

As far I'm concerned the only place in Pattaya worth going to for pizza is the Loaf pizza buffet on Wednesdays. Very good quality and 240B. All other pizza in Pattaya that I have tried is overpriced rubbish, including at the Hilton where it is always cold even when it has come straight from the oven.

I would never order pizza for delivery as it always arrives cold, and if you are going to have to heat it up you may as well just cook a frozen one, which would probably be cheaper and better.

I really dont see the point of posting comments about restaurants that dont include some sample prices. Even the OP's pizza might have qualified as "good" had it cost 150B instead of 500B, so giving the price really is a vital part of any comment, like the location and the name. Shame so few people do it.

personally i don't care what it costs if its good

in my book, if its shit, it will still be shit even if its cheap

I know it's quite fashionable to badmouth Pizza Company's pizza, but I think it's excellent. (And I'm an ex New Yorker of Sicilian heritage.)

Best italian style pizza in bangkok for sure is from scoozi. There small resturant but do offer delivery not sure of the range they cover but they have a website. When I say Italian pizza I mean traditional thin thin crust with lots of toppings to choose from. Price is compatable with other takeaway/delivered pizza outlets.

Dominoes is very good too but I guess its the same as scoozi. So far limited on number of shops and delivery range. Most appear to be around suk road and one in bang kapi??????? So depends where you are based for this availabilty.

Forgot to say scoozi located on surawong road just off silom road nearest bts I guess is chong nonsi. Other one I know of is on the srinagarindra road for those living in bangna area.

For faty fat thick crust pizza's falang style with beer etc the the pizza company is probably the best around.

As for pizza hut....... well if you have too just order the pasta....unless you like frozen reheated bread cheese and tomato sandwich spread and a few toppings over the top.

in my opinion, the best pizza around is at La Grotta on the darkside

on the back road out on nungplabwhan

almost opposite the black hole bikers pub

Black Hole formerly TittyTwisters?

yes

It is located at the corner of the row of shophouses just outside Pattaya Paradise Village 2. They have a real wood fired pizza oven and also pastas and meat dishes. It is open air, I.e., no air conditioning. They are not open for lunch...only dinner from about 4 p.m. Till late.

you have obviously been OMG

what do you think?

No, when I went, they were just firing up the pizza oven, so I went to Fabrice instead. Place has been open only about a month but have heard good things.

BigC frozen pizza looks better, just add fresh mushroom and green pepper then you won't find any better pizza in Thailand !

Delivery charges?? It must be some distance from the pizza shop to your house.

[NoshowJones]

I can't imagine a single pizza big enough to satisfy the appetites of four. It'd be the size of a manhole cover, no?

It would suit that big fat ugly guy in the first thread for his breakfast.

[puyaidon]

I make my own now. Found a good recipe online and have the hardware to make one. A lot of trouble but I like the taste as it has more sauce and ingredients that I like. Sauce for two pizzas is made ahead of time and frozen in two bags ready for when I need the sauce. Pepperoni was found at Makro and sliced by me ahead of time. Enough pepperoni was bought for ten pizzas or more at 750 baht. Mushrooms, olives and anything else I want on the pizza is ready when I want the pizza. Like I said, a lot of trouble but it does taste good. I don't eat it often but worth the effort.

Pizzas in Thailand have been shrinking slowly since I began living here over a decade ago and prices have been rising in large increments. Pizza used to be very good value here. Now it's not. The only way you can get decent value is by going for the specials, which may or may not be to your taste on any specific occasion. Only seven years ago, a large pizza used to be *large*. Now it's barely the size a medium pizza used to be. I remember seven years ago that from Pizza Hut you could get a medium pan pizza plus garlic bread plus 500ml coke for 199 baht on a special. Now you can't get it for twice that and the pizza is smaller.

I gave up ordering pizza a few months ago. Never again. I'll wait until I go to a country that serves good pizza of a good size.

Pizza / Italian food is typically overpriced. In BKK I have been going to https://th-th.facebook.com/PizzaSevenZero near Thailand Cultural Ctr MRT . small margerita pizza 70 baht. Lage is 140. toppings 20 baht.

Pasta is about 70 - 90 baht,

The Thai owner/chef was trained at a high end Italian restaurant in BKK, now opened his own place. I know Italy and NY pizza as well as many others in thailand. This is quite decent, better than pizza company and as good as expensive ones though at a fraction of cost.

Big C (Casino brand frozen pizza is also quite decent. It is from europe

New York Pizza is the best quality and value in town. Failing that, try Italy Mate!

Really if you think this is the best you might need to explore other options...fyi the name is new york pizza but they dont sell this style in nyc

If you like waferthin pizze with the real stuff, i.e. Italian salame from Italy, anchovies and not local "pla khem" then see www.ticino.co.th/en/ on the dark side. I've tried at least twenty different pizzerias and none could match the Ticino stuff. No deliveries though as the owner says (correctly), that with the present staff shortage it might happen, that the delivery boys are ..... not showing up to work.
IMHO pizze like any other food should be eaten at the place of cooking and who likes lukewarm or soggy pizze in the first place?
Just my thoughts though.........

Nonsense. No frozen pizza tastes good.

The bread is dead.

There is no pizza anywhere in Thailand. What passes for pizza here are dribbles on some low quality doah.

Being from NYC I think I can speak about pizza - NY pizza is only available in NYC, even crossing the Hudson River to NJ you lose that NYC quality. One slice of an authentic NY pizza contains more food than a whole pizza in Thailand.

Pizzas origin is not Italian it's from Coney Island boardwalk in the 1940's after the war. Italian immigrants working the boardwalk baked lasagne and other deep dish Southern Italian foods. They tossed some thickened doah onto the bottom of the ovens to catch the drips from the deep dish items - that's what they ate for themselves. Someone eventually started to sell the dripped sauce fallen onto the doah and wella pizza was born. Pizza became a bar-food, an easy way to get a liquor permit as NY law then had it that to sell booze you had to also offer food and pizza was easy and fast. Up until the mid 50's pizza was only available in NYC but gradually it worked it's way to NJ and then westward ho. and eventually found it's way to Italy and 'round the world but the NY recipe was never quite the same outside of NYC.

I make my own pizza and sauce also. Not a lot of trouble if you make some of it ahead of time. It is a nice hobby also.

Foodland also sells fresh pizza pie shells and then one can add the sauce and toppings of ones choice and pop it in the oven. Also many great pies to be had around town and I do like that Company's pan crust pizza on occasion.

Agree with making your own..........doesnt work out much cheaper but you get a much more substantial end result...........i normally buy 5 or 6 of the bases from foodland and make a batch of pizzas to freeze

The New York Pizza place in Pattaya has origins in UPSTATE New York. They don't claim to have New York CITY pizza.

Anyway, try their meatball PONZONE. It's a twist on calzone. Not bad!

I agree with you 99%....but there is one place I know in Chiang Mai where I am sure you too would think otherwise.

Steven at PizzanPasta can make a pie!

Thank you to definitely make clear for everybody the TRUE Americans origins of the pizza.

I guess history not your strong point.

[pizzachang]

IMHO, this is the best pizza in Thailand. I realize that not every falang can build an oven but I like to cook and really enjoy a medium thick crust home made pizza. The best "store bought" pizza in Chiang Mai is Duke's but I haven't tried every place that offers Italian style.

[canman]

Pan Pan in central festival was always my favourite. Nice simple anchovie and cheese, thin base cooked in a proper pizza oven.

Be nice if he would name 'that company'

Just another rip off TIT

2 words: Pizza Mania. www.pizzamania.co..th

[luudee]

So it seems the OP got a 10" pizza from the "Company" and nothing else (at least didn't mention anything else) for 500 baht?

Somehow I find this post very fishy as I have been ordering from them for years and have never been ripped off quite that bad.

Maybe the OP just needs to learn a better way of ordering such as going the their website first and creating your own choice menu and look at the specials (what I normally get) as in: 1- 12" pizza with 5 toppings, chicken wings & garlic bread all for about 450 baht.

Here is the link: http://www.pizza.co.th

I know very well how to order, I did order from their web site.

Of course there was a "topping included, dhu ...

But nothing else ...

The picture clearly shows that the pizza is about 11" and has toppings ....

[luudee]

Thanks for all the constructive suggestions guys ! I will follow up on recommendations ...

I have been to the "New York Pizza" place on 3rd road. Was the only customer. When

I walked in two girls and a guy where sitting on the floor in the kitchen and eating what

looked like Thai food. I ordered a Pizza, but in my opinion that was the worst tasting

pizza I ever had. The "tomato sauce" looked and tasted like watered down ketchup,

and the cheese was very tasteless as well ... haven't tried any other dishes they offer.
