Basilico

Basillico has been serving its homemade Italian dishes for over 15 years. One of their best-selling items on the menu is, of course, the pizza where you'll get to pick from over 50 unique toppings. The restaurant uses an authentic masonry oven imported from Italy to bake each pizza to perfection. If you visit, you'll see the giant oven at work as the owners decided to put it on display right in the middle of the restaurant.

After baking in the oven for the right amount of time, the resulting pizza will sport a crispy, thin-crust, and an irresistible, smokey aroma from the pinewood the restaurant uses to keep oven fire burning through the evening. As for the toppings, the restaurant imports only the best ingredients from their trusted sources in Italy, Australia, and New Zealand before handing them over to the team of talented chefs.

Pizza Massilia

You might be thinking what a food truck is doing in a top list of pizzerias in Bangkok. Well it’s not a food truck anymore, because Pizza Massilia has just opened its restaurant in soi Ruamrudee near Ploenchit BTS Station.

Pizza Massilia is actually collaboration between a Frenchman (Frederic Meyer) and an Italian chef Luca Apino, and the decor of the restaurant shows it as so, with French-style windows adjacent to its massive Italian fire ovens.

Soho Pizza

If you ask anyone in Bangkok to recommend a pizza place, there's a good chance for Soho Pizza to come up. Unlike the other traditional Italian restaurants on the list, Soho Pizza is a New York-style pizza parlor. Their homemade pizzas became a hit amongst the urban Bangkok crowd in no time.

The main features of the pizzas served here are the larger size and extra crispiness compared to the usual pizzas you find elsewhere. The recipe requires the pizza dough to be massaged by hand over 48 hours before baking, resulting in the fluffy and crispy pizza that everyone loves.

Furthermore, Soho Pizza never holds back on their toppings, especially the popular ones like the Classic Cheese and seafood. If you've got a real craving for pizza, we do recommend you go for the whole 18-inch pie.
