Yes I did. They moved to a new place near TTP at St 143. I know the chef and and he said the landlord at their old shop increase the rent so they moved out. Ordered a pizza there and it was still the same quality -- one of the best in PP. I know they also supply to some events and hotels. Price is affordable... 5.5$ for a big size so it is worth to try.
Does Pizza 5 still include onions on all pizzas unless you specifically ask not to have onions on the pizza?
I think they will stick to their standard list of toppings... simply specify you you don't need onions then they will not put union. I used to ask them not to put olives.

It's ok a cheap takeaway pizza the pizzas are passable but nothing great. I only ate at their place once, they didn't have any beers but they would go and get you a warm can of Anchor from a nearby stall and charge you $1.75 for it, which sucked.

Then I think your last visit was long long time ago. Beer is 1$, and you can get it cool drink for free if you order on Thursdays, because I usually take this advantage...

It was quite a while back to be honest. Glad to hear they have sorted out that beer thing.

Romanos do an excellent pizza and a superb calzone (for my tastes) - at least they did during the first quarter of this year when we were in town. Had some really good pizzas from Katy Peri over the years we were in town, but they can be very inconsistent, had one once that tasted like smokey chemicals. I think they had some dud, chemically treated wood that had been salvaged or something. Was a bit embarrassing at the time, had a friend in town, and I told him how good their pizzas were...really disappointing that time.

Gotta say the best pizza we've had in Cambodia was, surprisingly, in Sihanoukville at Olive and Olive, it was about two years ago, but good enough to remember to this day and really good value for money. Not sure if they are still around given the changes there. Very unlikely that I will ever go back to find out.

Ah I loved the pizza at Olive and Olive when I lived in SHV, haven't been back since I left 3 years ago, still the same owners? They also had a great beef dish with straw potatoes of which I don't remember the name of.
In PP, best pizza is in some place that also has a restaurant in Siem Reap, grande pizza or grande forno or something, my memory isn't all what it used to be.

What are straw potatoes?
Despite what angsta states, it’s clear from reading through his posts that angsta supports the free FreePalestine movement.

My picks in PP

Trattoria del Arte -- Quite good.

Aria D'Italia Pizzeria -- Italy style -- I can say it was number 1 in the past, now quality downturned

Pizza 5 Cambodia -- French style -- pizza specialist as only sell pizzas. Very good taste with balanced dough and tomato sauce, 5.5$ for a big size but recommended to add $0.5 to top extra cheese. With own delivery team!
