Pizzeria Délices de Capoue

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 dine-in again.
