Can you include us old age pensioners in that.

I had a large size Domino s pizza last week
for A$ 5.25 that's ??? USA $
Maybe in Australia but the cheapest large at Domino's in Cambodia is $12 and it's half the size and tastes like cardboard. I used to love Domino's in the US...not necessarily the pizza but the crust and seasoning. It's nasty here.

Brooklyn is also great but there larges range from $12-$25, last time I was there a year or so back.

You don't win a prize for making the fastest pizza,
you get it for making the best pizza.

My wife and I went there for dinner yesterday evening. Sorry, I didn't bring my glasses or phone, so I can't give a "proper" review. I'll let someone else do that.

Excellent value! Clean, well staffed, fully stocked bar. Extensive menu. Only 6 kinds of pizza (unlike the dozens available at Luigi's and Romano's), but the other items look really good, at every reasonable prices. In fact, this is the only place, in recent memory, that serves food which looks exactly like the pictures in the menu. Someone at a table next to ours ordered a meat plate that was massive. And it was only $14. The desserts we had were so much better, and cheaper, than Luigi's. We will definitely be spending a lot of time there in the future.

I don't think it's the very best Italian style pizza available in Phnom Penh right now, but $8 for a giant, tasty pie, in a clean, quiet, well air conditioned place, makes it one of the best values that we have experienced in a long time. Highly recommended. Please don't listen to any trolls making unreasonable comparisons to their old Shitsville location, or other places not in Phnom Penh. Right now, this is one of the best restaurants in it's price range and area, imho. Try it!

And, they are open every day from 9am until 11pm (Luigi's and Romano's are on that stupid "Italian time") . AND THEY WILL BE OPEN THROUGHOUT KHMER NEW YEAR! (One of the partners/owners did warn us that most Khmer staff will be gone, so don't expect super quick service.)

Thanks to both you and Pieman for the info! We wouldn't have tried it otherwise. :beer3:

I'll try the steak next time. Had a pizza there on Wed night, great value but bland in taste just as it always was in Sihanoukville.

Hmm, not the best, really. The meat doesn't look very good.
