    It’s been tough to find a real authentic Italian style pizza while in Thailand, I am sceptical about going to places as I don’t feel it’s going to be as good as I hoped but credit where credit is due. Chef Sasa delivered on all asepects. When we arrived we were seated at the only table free in the restaurant, I’d say this place can seat 20 inside and 6 outside. Bruschetta is the only part of this experience that slightly let me down, only tomato and oil, I would have liked maybe 1 or 2 more and a little garlic/and or onion but that’s me just being a little picky. They were good and loaded. Pizzas were superb. The sauce really set it apart from many other pizzas. A great size for a fair price. The menu is outside you know how much they are before stepping in and for a 13inch pizza, this is more than fair. We like to be in and out of places within an hour if we can usually and it’s hard in Thailand as you’re usually on Thai time but Chef Sasa even when very busy, managed to do this which I thought was great. Definitely worth checking out and would eat here again!!

    My girlfriend and I were extremely hungry and decided to have diner at Chef Sasa. Had a lovely diner here with delicious authentic italian food. The menu is extensive and full of italian classics so we knew we were at the right place. Everything came in a timely fashion and had great taste. The staff is very friendly. The kitchen is open which is something I always see as a good thing. The only downside is that it is a little bit expensive. That being said... we found that it was worth it 😁 Def recommend !

    I would say one of the best pizzas in Chiang Rai. Authentic Italian food and the owner/s are super friendly. I can only recommend if you want fresh ingredients on your pizza!

    Lovely food, quite an experience after a long day of travelling. Prices are a little high for Chiang rai, but it will be worth it! Vegetarian friendly.

    (Translated by Google) After more than 40 days of pad thai, I gave up. And I did very well! It really is perfect Italian pizza. Thank you chef Sasà! (Original) Dopo oltre 40 giorni di pad thai, ho ceduto. Ed ho fatto benissimo! Davvero è pizza Italiana, perfetta. Grazie chef Sasà!

    pretty big portions for pizza and salad. very fresh can taste the freshness of the tomato sauces. pizza was yummy but maybe slightly undercooked in the centre for my preference. cozy little place and gnocchi is a must try but add salt and pepper to ur own liking. lasagna could have more cheese. overall pretty good enjoyed my dinner here :)

    very very satisfying for my deep craving of authentic Italian Pizza in CR. Soft in the middle, thin and crispy at the crust.

    I have stayed a few times in Chiang Rai and have tried pizza in about 10 restaurants. In my experience Chef Sasa makes the best pizza in town. It's not cheap, mind you, but it's good value for money. Available on Grab, too.

    Prices are fair, quality good, especially Calzone pizza. Service is so so but they smile. Nothing special for the restaurant, rather basic. Chef is friendly

    Delicious food in a pleasant restaurant. The lasagne was a highlight, good person size and tasty sauce. The spaghetti meatballs was good, more meatballs would be great though. The melt in the middle chocolate pudding was a real treat.

  • 5/5 Wisanu T. 1 year ago on Google
    I recently had the pleasure of dining at the Italian restaurant helmed by Chef Sasa, and I must say that it was an absolute delight. One highlight of the meal was the wonderful selection of cold cuts, which were beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. The Neapolitan pizza was also a standout dish. The dough was perfectly crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the toppings were expertly chosen and prepared. It was clear that Chef Sasa pays careful attention to the sourcing and quality of ingredients, as every bite had a wonderful depth of flavor. Overall, I highly recommend Chef Sasa's Italian restaurant for anyone looking for a delicious and authentic Italian dining experience. The combination of the cold cuts and pizza alone is worth the visit. I can't wait to go back and try more of Chef Sasa's incredible dishes.

    Chef Sasa has been the nicest surprise in Chiang Rai. Authentic Italian food, fresh ingredients, professional staff and outstanding “melanzane alla parmigiana”. If you love Italian cuisine this place is a must try. You will certainly enjoy every bit and bite of it!

  • 4/5 Ignace Van den B. 4 years ago on Google
    If you are travelling out of Europe for a long time, this is the place where you want to come for a pizza. According to Thai standards not cheap, but worth every baht. Delicious! They lose 1 star because I was charged 130 baht for a 33cl Singha, which I think is ridiculously overpriced.

  • 5/5 Karl L. 4 years ago on Google
    Best pizza in Thailand! Thin crust pizza, Italian style. Very reasonable price (don't understand the other reviews commenting that it's too pricey): around 250 baht per pizza, decent size. Can also recommend the Panna Cotta.

  • 5/5 Khris 2 years ago on Google
    Great Pizza Place in Chiang Rai ☺️ It’s really tasty and the crust is just perfect. Also, it’s easy to communicate with the staff when you need something. I would surely recommend this place to other people who love pizza like me.

  • 5/5 Monika K. 2 years ago on Google
    Great restaurant with italian food. Pizzas, lasagnes, cheese, prosciutto everything really tasty. Good place in Chiang Rai

  • 5/5 Andrew M. 5 years ago on Google
    We had the veggie pizza and the spaghetti. They were both delicious. The service was fast and efficient. The price was a little higher than the average in Thailand but for the quality I would definitely recommend. The owner is Italian and seemed very friendly and welcoming.

  • 5/5 Wani O. 2 years ago on Google
    Excellent! The moment your oder is in, you can smell the bread being warmed up for the table. Excellent pizza, greek salad and our son loved his bolognese. The chocolate lava cake was a hit as well. Authentic, run by an Italian gentleman and great wait staff. Highly recommended!

  • 5/5 Ryan C. 4 years ago on Google
    Loved the food here. Eggplant, bruschetta, pizza, & lava cake were all delicious. Really good Italian meal in Chiang Rai. Plus the 1/2 liter house wine is good & cheap.

  • 5/5 Agent 00 Chiang M. 1 year ago on Google
    I've lived in Thailand for a long time and know a lot of very good Italian restaurants here. But today I ate the best Pizza Diavolo of my life. A real treat, this pizza. A very cozy restaurant, very friendly staff, good prices and last but not least a very friendly owner named Antonio. I was visiting Chiang Rai. Unfortunately, the way for GRAB is too far to Chiang Mai. But just for this pizza I would take the trip from Chiang Mai to Chiang Rai again and again.

  • 5/5 Bob M. 3 years ago on Google
    I normally don't like to give five stars, but that pizza was better than what I get in Nonthaburi. The crust was just wonderful. Service was fine and the shop was fine. Will return to try other foods.

  • 5/5 Rupert K. 5 years ago on Google
    Had an excellent pizza here - thin crust & crispy, perfect mix of sauce and cheese. Diavola had a nice kick. Service was friendly and attentive, spoke English well. Wine was served cold, Thai-Style ;) indoor and outdoor seating available. Came back and had caprese salad (very good) and lasagna (good). Appetizer and main course were brought in proper order, if a little quick... If you need a break from rice, this is a great option not far from night market.

  • 5/5 Ian C. 2 years ago on Google
    We went to Chef Sasa 3 nights in a row. Loved it! The bruschetta, pizza and spaghetti carbonara were all exceptional. We also enjoyed the house wine and friendly service. Highly recommend!

  • 5/5 Jonathan T. 8 months ago on Google
    Great little Italian near the centre of town. The pizza I had was the best I’ve had for a long, long time (possibly the best ever in Thailand?!). And while the house wine won’t win any competitions, at THB120 for a generous glass, it’s terrific value for money!

  • 5/5 Chloe 3 months ago on Google New
    Delicious Italian food from a real Italian. It you are craving western food, this is the place to be! Authentic and delicious 🤤. We got Greek salad and below pizza. Greek salad had really delicious feta! Staff and service was great too!

  • 5/5 V R. 4 months ago on Google
    Great place to have a real pizza. Good value for the price, I don’t think it was expensive. The service was great and the food too. They put our leftover pizza in a takeaway box without extra charge. I recommend! Extra: I think the owner was Italian so I guess that’s a plus.

  • 5/5 George H. 2 years ago on Google
    Really top quality pizza. We were craving some Western food, and had found it difficult to get a decent pizza in Thailand so far; until now. This place does not disappoint. I highly recommend. The staff and owners seemed lovely aswell.

  • 5/5 Pamela M. 3 months ago on Google New
    I just had one of the most amazing experiences of my life while eating in this restaurant. Everything they do is with excellence. The quality of the products are 5 starts and the tasty of the food brings you to a different place. I wish I could bring this place to Manila so I could go there everyday. Thank you so much for the owner of this place. ❤️🙏🏻

    Sehr schönes Restaurant, italienischer Stil mit freundlichem Personal, unser Menu : Rohschinken, Bruschetta, kleiner Salat, Spaghetti Seafood, Lasagne al Forno, Getränk und Espresso, hervorragend in der richtigen Reihenfolge serviert und das Hauptgericht "HEISS" auf dem Teller, ich (wir) habe mich wie in Italien gefühlt, meine Thaipartnerin machte 3 × Daumen hoch, N.B per Zufall am Restaurant vorbeigelaufen ist von aussen sehr einladend, mit moderaten Preisen, danke

  • 4/5 Jonas J. 4 years ago on Google
    The best pizza for a long time. That has to do with the fact that pizzas in my country Sweden are almost never made by Italians or even real chefs, therefore they are really bad. My pizza at Chef Sasa had a good "bread", tasty tomatoe sauce and good salami, so all good. The only negative I noticed was that the ingredients did not really stuck to each other. The salami fell of the cheese and the cheese fell of the bread, so it was difficult to get everything at the same time. Maybe something to do with the cheese?

  • 4/5 MG R. 5 years ago on Google

    This restaurant is a true hidden gem in Thailand. I knew after my pizza was finished that I'd crave it for the rest of my days (I'm craving it now). It was the best pizza I've ever had. Chef, I will follow you wherever you decide to move in Thailand. It was delicious!!!
