Pizzeria Délices de Capoue — Restaurant in Khlong Tan Nuea Subdistrict

Saw a picture of the pizza posted somewhere, so we had to try it out. Was a little surprised to find they close at 10pm on Saturday night, even more surprised to find the place completely empty at 9pm, but the staff welcomed us inside, so we stayed.

What we loved: the PIZZA! I'm not always a fan of Neapolitan style pizza, as it's often underbaked and has a layer of raw dough in the crust. But not this place. They are doing it right. And the bottom was crispy as well. Their pizza sauce is perfect, as well. Nicely done! Well worth the 396 baht price tag for such a rare treat!

What we liked, but...: Spaghetti Pesto Rosso (439 baht) and Italian Salad (632 baht) were both excellent, but neither were worth the price. Especially the salad. Lettuce plus 5 pieces of Parma and a bit of cheese and pesto. Tasty, but crazy priced.

Wine menu was nicely printed and served as soon as we sat down. Several red wines available by the glass, but all the reds were served warm, which works in 25c degree weather, but not 38c degree weather.

Local Soda Water is served rather than ridiculous imports of Italian seltzer or whatever, but at 107 baht, it's the most expensive bottle of Singha Soda Water I've ever encountered, and I'm including Bangkok night clubs. Honestly, this factor alone makes me not want to go back. Charge whatever you want for wine and premium products, but don't rape me on a soda water.

What we disliked: They had no printed versions of their food menu available. Instead, we were required to scan QR codes, which means instead of socially being able to look at a nicely displayed menu together, we had to scroll on our phones up and down and pass them to each other, etc. Super annoying practice which thankfully has been abandoned by most other restaurants, but not this one. Even worse, the pics of the pastas did not load.

Overall menu selection (apart from pizzas) is tiny. They don't offer any bread while waiting or even with the pasta. When we requested Parmesan cheese for the pizza, they brought only a tiny portion of shaved parm. We would have much preferred a grated parm. There was no salt, pepper, or chili flakes on the table (although they did have bottles of olive oil).

Our normal go-to is Via Emilia in Sathorn, so it's difficult not to compare the two. Emilia would be packed on a Saturday night (and most other nights). They have both room temp and cold wines available, as well as draft beer and cocktails, and a much larger menu overall. They bring a bread basket gratis. Their soda is 70 baht.

I would definitely return to Delices de Capoue for a pizza for takeaway, when in the area, but I would not...

Disappointing Anniversary Dinner - Poor Value for Money

⭐ (1/5 stars)

My partner and I visited this pizzeria for our anniversary dinner, and unfortunately, it was quite a letdown. As first-time customers, we were shocked by the pricing structure.

What We Ordered: 1 pasta dish 1 pizza 1 salad pizza 2 glasses of wine 1 bottle of still water 1 bottle of sparkling water

Total Bill: 3,445 baht

The Good: The restaurant has a nice ambiance for a special occasion

The Not-So-Good: Extremely overpriced - Nearly 3,500 baht for basic pizza and pasta is excessive by any standard Average food quality - Nothing special that would justify the premium pricing Empty restaurant - We were practically the only customers, which speaks volumes Poor value proposition - You can get similar or better Italian food elsewhere for a fraction of the cost

Overall Experience: While we wanted to celebrate our anniversary somewhere special, the ridiculous pricing completely overshadowed any positive aspects of the meal. For what we paid, we expected exceptional food and service, but received neither. The empty dining room suggests other customers have reached the same conclusion.

Recommendation: Save your money and go elsewhere. There are many other excellent Italian restaurants in the area that offer better food at reasonable prices. We definitely won't be returning.

For the Restaurant: If you're reading this, please reconsider your pricing strategy. Good food at fair prices will bring customers back - overcharging will only drive them away...

Without a doubt, it is one of the best places to eat pizza in Bangkok. You can have it delivered, but the taste of a freshly made pizza right out of the oven is exceptional. It is worth visiting the restaurant in person at least once.

The burrata cheese salad is one of the menu items worth eating besides pizza.

You can order pasta if you must, but it will not impress you as much as the pizza. This is a complete side dish.

The food and drinks are satisfactory, but the service could be improved. I understand the intent of the restaurant, but clearing tables too quickly is not very pleasant as a customer. Customers should be given enough time to enjoy the aftermath of their moment of happiness.

That is the only reason why it is not a 5 star. The rest is a...
