niceandfriendly Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 Have had a few MM's recently, and tried Amalfi but really haven't been that impressed with either. Any others I can try? Take away option preferred. Grazie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimi007 Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 Yes, there's Modena Pizza on Sai Yuan on the way out toward Viset a few KM past the Soi that goes to Rawai Muay Thai and there is also another one on Sai Yuan near the Sauna Bar, not far from M&M's called Portofino. Funny though, I like the pizza from the Thai lady who drives around with a gas oven on the back of her three wheeler. She just came back this week after about 6 months off. She does a loop around Sai Yuan and the beach road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niceandfriendly Posted September 15, 2013 Author Share Posted September 15, 2013 Excellent, thanks Jimi. Gonna give Modena a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NomadJoe Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 Not in Rawai but on the edge, I have recently discovered that the pizza from Anchor Inn is really quite good. On Chalong pier road next to Sea Bees. Pizza 2000 is good too. They make a garlic bread that is more like an Indian naan style that is to die for. It's on the other road which gets you to the pier. Also one in Karon on Patak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimi007 Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 (edited) I like Companinas Pizza over in Kata is better than anything around here so far, but it's a drive, and the waiters have an attitude it seems if you just go in for a pie. The OP should check out the pinned restaurant thread at the top of this forum. Many other places around here are mentioned as having good pizza, although not Rawai specific as you asked in your OP. Happy hunting. Edited September 15, 2013 by Jimi007 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AloisAmrein Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 Forget about best pizza in Thailand, the only country where you can eat best pizza is Italy. They try to copy this in the whole world, but most restaurants are unable even to make an average pizza. I Thailand they even don't know what a real pizza is. Expensive, bad taste, wasted money only.

Of course you're right. An Italian chef who had pizza restaurants in Modena in Italy and now has an Italian restaurant here, complete with purpose built pizza oven would have no idea how to make a decent pizza! If you're going to try trolling, at least make an intelligent effort. I've tried most of the pizza places in Rawai and IMO Modena has the best. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are going for Pizza in Chalong, you should also try the Pizza at Agli Amici, next to Pizza 2000, which is quite good! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fiddlehead Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 I prefer American style pizza to Italian style. Much heartier (maybe one of the reasons why Americans anymore tend to be fat), and they don't skimp on the toppings. I've tried most of them in and around Chalong/Rawai/Nai Harn and for me, it's Pizza 2000 is the closest to New York style or Chicago style pizza. I guess it depends on what kind of pizza you are after. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaffacakes1 Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 As a Pizza lover living in Rawai I've made it a personal mission to find the best Pizza on the island. There is a small restaurant called 'Ellis' at the beginning of the Viset end of Sai Yuan 1 (before Rawai Muay Thai) run by an Italian couple. Try their frutti di mare pizza if you want to take advantage of local ingredients. They open from around 4pm most day. Enjoy! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KarenBravo Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Nikitas pizza was good if you liked Italian style thin crust, though, I haven't eaten there for some time now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireMedic Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 I really like the thin crust pizzas next to the Sauna Bars. I think someone said it was Portofinos which sounds right. The guy there speaks Italian, German, and English. Cool guy, good and nice staff, great pizza. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valentine Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 I will most likely be slagged for this but even though I enjoy pizza from MMs (this has always been my number 1) & Modena I also like the jumbo hot dog pizza at Pizza Co. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before they moved to their present location people here on TV were raving about them. Tried them 3 times since, since they're close to me, but was not 1 time impressed. So Modena it is for me for take aways, further away but IMO much better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KarenBravo Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Have to agree. Ellis pizza definitely deteriorated. Must try this Modena one day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelepulse Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Modena has a thicker crust than M & M's, and puts on more toppings, which is how I compare those two places. Both seem fine to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaffacakes1 Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Oh no! What a shame.. I haven't been for a good few months. Trying to eat healthily recently! It seemed to be the only place round here that didn't dump a greasy puddle of cheese in the middle of every Pizza. Pity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expensive, bad taste, wasted money only. and so convenient to pop over to Italy. i go to Rome twice a week on my private jet just for the pizza. seriously through, Da Vinci's makes great pizza (better than anything i ever ate in Italy by the way) but expensive. the salmon pizza at M&M's is awesome IMHO. flint one does a great cheap everyday pizza. Rossovivo in fisherman way is pretty good. Edited September 18, 2013 by stevehaigh 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaffacakes1 Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 In the interests of researching this topic I revisited Trattoria Eliis this evening. I am delighted to confirm that any reports of a drop in quality are greatly exaggerated. The Italian couple are still in the kitchen and knocking up Pizzas that put the local competition to shame.

Not many Americans (or any other nationality) have the fitness regime that you have.There's more meat on a butcher's pencil! I'll stick to the Modena style pizzas, that's what keeps me looking slender! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or it could simply mean that members have different preferences. One man's fully loaded with Pineapple and a hot dog in the crust is another man's Margarita. I'm a man on the Margarita side.
