Pizza

Discussions about restaurants, cafes, coffee shops or bars in Cambodia. Feel free to write any reviews you have, whether its the best burger you've had in Phnom Penh or the worse pizza in Kampot, we want to read it! Discussions about Khmer dishes are also in here, or you can leave your own. If you own a restaurant, feel free to let the expat community know about it here so that we can come check it out. Found a favorite cafe or have a place we should avoid? Tell us about it. Asian recipes & questions are always welcome.

No VAT or service charge. No chairs either, but what the hell...
I was there last week. They did have 2 tables and some chairs.

LOL, not sure, first time there. $3 and $5 not bad price. Tasted pretty good, nothing special, but definitely more than edible. Will go back when the craving returns.

As I posted early in the thread
I tried 4Ps in Saigon a couple of nights ago. I can't say I was impressed. I had the margherita as a test and found the cheese flavourless and the dough not quite 'pizza dough'. Fortunately I had a bottle of nuoc mam with me which I sprinkled liberally in lieu of anchovies, much to the bemusement of the kitchen staff.

The fusion experiments looked largely like category errors to me. 'Bo Kho pizza' etc. I'd rate the pizzas at Cioccolatini's Kampot higher.
Your friends probably chose the margherita as the least scary pizza option, as I did. I also mentioned that the pastas I tried were acceptably cooked, notably the fettuccine al salmone, and the bolognese was ok too. Not that they are likely to go back.

Their attempt at tiramisu was a joke. I just made a batch: it costs less than $1.50 a portion to make it properly (half price mascarpone at Mini C).

I'm prepared to believe that the Phnom Penh branch isn't as well managed as the Saigon outlets. On the upside the wine is slightly cheaper.
