Starita Bangkok
Starita Bangkok is the first branch outside Italy, and the first in Asia, of Pizzeria Starita, a 124-year-old Naples house now led by Don Antonio Starita; the Bangkok branch requires its pizzaioli to be Naples-trained and mixes dough water to match Naples' own mineral profile. It also carries Starita's own historic invention, the fried-then-oven-finished Montanara, onto a Bangkok menu otherwise built around imported Italian ingredients.
