Best NY style pizza joints?

if you're up for a bit of a trek, there's a place called via 99 near ari bts that does a solid ny slice. it's not always consistent but when they nail it the crust is thin and crispy with a good chew, and the sauce is tangy without being too sweet. they also have a white slice with ricotta that's worth trying if you want something different from the classic pepperoni. 110 baht per slice last time i was there.

There's a little spot called Slice on Soi 49 that does a pretty good ny style, they import their cheese from Wisconsin so the flavor's legit. Their large pepperoni runs about 180 baht and the crust has that nice snap without being burnt.

pizza mania's solid but if you want that really crispy bottom slice try savannah pizza on ekkamai. they do a 16 inch new yorker that's thin with a nice char on the crust and the cheese pull is real. 200 baht for a slice which is a bit steep but the pepperoni has that greasy cup thing going on. also worth mentioning pizza hut express in some bts stations does a surprisingly decent ny style slice for like 60 baht if you're in a pinch but don't expect artisanal vibes

Krua Dok Mai Kao is solid but I've always found their som tam a bit tame on the pla ra. If you want the real funky version, try the shophouse spots along Soi Udomsuk 26, near the night market end. They pound it fresh with fermented fish that'll clear your sinuses, and it's like 60 baht. Different style from the On Nut places, more Lao-leaning.

for som tam specifically i'd say the Isaan spots in Chatuchak are underrated, weekdays only though since the weekend crowd ruins the vibe. there's a stall near gate 2 that does tam pa with fermented bamboo shoots, super sour and funky, not something you see much in On Nut. if you're already heading north for Or Tor Kor anyway its worth the detour.

honestly the som tam at Krua Dok Mai Kao is good but what got me hooked is their nam prik pla raa dip with the raw veggies, that funk hits way harder than the papaya does. think most people sleep on it cuz they just order the som tam and gai yang. also pro tip, go before noon on weekdays, after that teh pla ra gets milder cuz they batch it for the lunch rush
