Considering we are in Thailand the pizza was good. We went for the prosciutto and salame pizza. Went back again and ordered the same exact pizza and it was really good :)

The pizza was very good, the serve nice They even had a vegan pizza on the menu that only costs 99baht (as far as I remember) The chairs were a bit dirty and the ambiance not as beautiful as in the restaurant at the other side of the street, but the prices are very reasonable.

If you want to eat a nice pizza here in Thailand, this is the place to go. We were told that the other dishes were not as good as the pizzas, so we didn't try anything else. However, the pizza was great and I can definitely recommend it. I particularly liked the Pizza Tonno. However, you don't meet many locals here - if you do, you'll be talking to tourists and backpackers.

Really enjoyed the food here best noodles we’ve had in Thailand, we ordered ‘small noodles’ and they had a slight Chinese takeaway style vibe but this is exactly what we were after! Staff friendly and polite, only downside was it felt like the same 5 songs were playing the whole time we were in the restaurant,

Nice restaurant with tasty food. Friendly server, however she didn’t speak much English which caused some confusion. I had to ask for my cocktail several times, and then go to the bar to ask the bartender for it before I received. Tasty thin crust pizza.
