So I’m going to leave an honest review as possible with a full explanation.
I went with my 78 year old mother, 6 & 9 year old step children.
We ordered a Bruschetta and 3 pizzas. Nothing unusual about this in a pizza restaurant.
However the Bruschetta came after 1 hour 20 minutes and the pizzas about 10 minutes later.
For full context the restaurant was ONLY half full, and while take out orders did happen it certainly wasn’t what I would consider busy.
We did question the time it was taking, and I don’t find the answer an acceptable answer. We were told that due to the over (wood fired) being constantly opened and closed for orders, that the heat wasn’t sufficient to cook pizzas in a timely manner due to so many being ordered.
Now being that this is primarily a pizza restaurant, I don’t find that to be an acceptable answer, and I do in fact have a friend who runs his own pizza business successfully in Norway and have NEVER seen this as an issue for him despite him working in an extremely busy place.
Now that said, once the food turned up it was really good, the pizzas where amazing, but the whole experience was dampened by the fact that we weren’t told how long the wait was not kept upto date at all during that time.
If indeed it is an issue, my advice is you need to tell people when they are seated, this is what a GOOD restaurant would do. Give the customer the choice of waiting not take it away from them. People have other plans and this can seriously affect a whole evening for many people.
In closing I would say the pizzas are probably the best I’ve had, certainly for a long time, but I wouldn’t have waited that long had I been given the choice. Not...

If you're on Samui Island and not at Pizza Del Sol, what are you even doing? Seriously, I almost missed my flight because I couldn't stop eating their pizza – it’s that good.
First of all, let’s talk about the crust. This crust is like the cool surfer dude of pizza crusts – laid-back, crisp in all the right places, and just the right amount of chewy. I swear, it winked at me before I took my first bite. And the toppings? Oh, my Parma ham! I’m convinced they’ve got some sort of mystical cheese wizard hiding in the kitchen, hand-picking every ingredient. It’s like they sprinkled pure happiness on each slice.
Now, I have to mention the ambiance. You walk in, and BAM! You’re hit with this tropical-meets-Italian vibe that screams “Relax, eat pizza, and pretend you’re in a rom-com.” They even have a wood-fired oven that looks like it’s been blessed by pizza gods.
But wait – the real MVP here is the staff. They're like the perfect pizza toppings: a little saucy, extra cheesy, and guaranteed to leave you smiling. I’m pretty sure they could win a gold medal in the Olympic pizza service games (if that’s not a thing, it should be).
In short, if you haven’t tried Pizza Del Sol yet, what are you waiting for? Grab a slice, grab two! Because once you’ve tasted pizza this good, no other pie will ever measure up. Welcome to pizza...
