I've eaten in at 4P's before and thought the pizzas were fine. The one thing that annoyed me was that there were a lot of staff, and every time I went to the balcony for a smoke or the bathroom I had about 10 staff giving me the sampeah.
Silence, exile, and cunning.

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.
You're correct about their choice. He knows that if you overload a pizza it becomes a soggy mess, the tomato sauce can't cook and neither can the dough. A Margherita will reveal if their dough, sauce and cheese is any good, and their ovens are hot enough. Something went seriously wrong on that night.

No smoking allowed on the balcony last Saturday.

I had an enjoyable meal there recently with an excellent pizza, and I even hit the taster with some smooth Nepalese when the staff were otherwise busy.

New place..Big Mama on bassac lane. Thought the pizza was excellent, around $10. Lots of pasta available. Vattanac beer on draft, $2.50. Good wine selection. Take the lift to the rooftop, good views, chilled vibe.

Larry's is reliable if you like a well filled pizza. It's not crispy but is a well made and filling meal. I have the Aloha, which is a Hawaiian with added chicken. That ought to further ruffle the feathers of the purists.

Larry's never disappoints ... always make a point to stop by at least once a week. Was blown away by the chicken parmesan ... parkrikas too! Was the first real meal I had upon arrival to PP just about a year ago.
