Almost everyone likes the taste of one of the world’s oldest fast foods – Pizza; and with the growing number of pizzerias here in Pattaya, it seems to confirm our affection for this time honoured dish. One authentic American style pizzeria that has built up a very good reputation is the New York Pizza House, which we reviewed when they opened on Naklua Road in 2010. Well, since then they have relocated to South Pattaya, in fact to busy Third Road.
Way back in 1947 brothers Tony and Sam Pontillo started the New York Pizza House in Batavia, New York. What is the connection with Pattaya you are saying? Well, years later through success with their business empire and having Neapolitan blood in his veins, their grand nephew Jeff Constantino took up the family business. Since the grand old age of 13, Jeff has worked to create 25 branches of this famous pizzeria chain. A few years on, Jeff fell in love – not only with his pizzas - but with Khun Pimjai from Thailand. As luck would have it, the couple was persuaded by Pimjai’s brother, Chokchai, into bringing their special style of tasty pizza to Thailand; and so they chose Pattaya for their first branch of New York Pizza House, originally located in Windmill Plaza on Naklua Road.
At their new venue they still offer dining in, take away and delivery of freshly made crusty pizza and choice of lip smacking toppings. The pizza dough is freshly prepared every day, as are Meatballs, Italian Sausages, Buffalo Chicken Wings and Pasta sauce – all made on the premises and using fresh ingredients to make traditional Tomato Sauce, and an appetizing White Garlic Sauce, apparently a favourite with New Yorkers!
New York Pizza House prices are very reasonable such as the Design Your Own Pizzas – with Small, (9 inches) from 160 baht, Medium (12 inches) from 250 baht, and Large 16 inches at 350 baht. This includes Sauce, Mozzarella and from 30 baht per topping of your choice from the wide range of meat, fish, seafood and vegetables available.
Specialty House Pizzas range from 180 baht to 415 baht for the New Yorker – with Sauce, Mozzarella, Pepperoni and Garlic. Other specialty pizzas range from 235 baht to 545 baht for Carnivore Deluxe and a large Western – with BBQ Sauce, Mozzarella, Chicken and Bacon, both of which we tried and found first rate, tasting really delicious! Other dishes – are Pasta dishes such as very tasty Spaghetti with Meatballs at 139 baht. Plus of course their house specialty dish of Buffalo (Chicken) Wings from 99 baht for 5, to 439 baht for 30 – coated with a choice of Sauces! Salads from 59 baht for a Side Salad to 159 baht for Chicken Caesar Salad! Another tasty pizza style dish is called the Ponzone (Calzone) at 199 baht filled with either Meatballs or Sausage – well worth trying! Also on the menu is a range of Hot Sub Sandwiches at 99 baht for half (6 inches) or 189 baht for 12 inches. Another firm favourite is the popular range of Combination Sets with a small Pizza with 2 toppings, Garlic Bread and 6 Chicken Wings for 329 baht. Other sets include Medium Pizza and 6 Wings at 419 baht, Medium Pizza with 12 wings for 499 baht and 689 baht for Large Pizza with 24 Chicken Wings.
