Took my starving missus to Luigi’s for another shot of finding good pizza in Phnom Penh. She was starving, not in the mood for Italian, and not happy about going across town from Riverside to Luigi’s. Cold shoulder all the way.

Place is a charming Italian style ristorante. All the menu items are Italian with English descriptions. Serving staff wore hats similar to the barbers at Tokyo Hair Salon. Customers were mostly young Khmer and a few foreigners. Price is at the higher end with most items around $10 or higher.

I ordered the 4 cheese pizza (waiter recommendation) and she ordered the strawberry gelato.



Pizza came out brick oven style. Light and airy, but stiff enough to be foldable for eating. Cheeses were good, but not really to my liking. I like some sauce on my pizza, otherwise perfect.



Gelato was a smoother texture than ice cream, nice velvety taste.

Overall experience - sucked. Don’t drag your starving better half across town to eat food she doesn’t want to eat.
