LOST CITY Pizza Society

Set in Siem Reap, LOST CITY Pizza Society has become one of the neighbourhood's dependable italian food stops. It is the kind of place you end up returning to rather than seeking out once, and it tends to stay busy without feeling rushed.

The food and the setting

The kitchen leans into italian, pizza and asian. Prices are reasonable for the area. It handles both a quick weekday lunch and a longer dinner, and the kitchen keeps up even when the room is full.

What people think

It holds a 5.0 rating across 22 reviews, which is a solid sign for somewhere that is not trying to be fancy. It is worth reading a handful of the recent reviews before you go, since they will tell you which dishes people order twice and which to skip.

The neighbourhood

As for the wider picture, Siem Reap runs on the temples by day, so most kitchens fill up in the evening once people are back from Angkor.

Getting there

A tuk-tuk or a Grab / PassApp ride is the simplest way in. Save the map pin from the top of this page, since street numbering is loose and the name plus the neighbourhood usually gets you there faster. A short walk is fine in the cooler part of the day, but pavements are uneven and often blocked, so most people ride the last stretch even when it is close.

Good to know

It opens on Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu, Sat. If you are building a day around it, aim for slightly off-peak: the room is calmer and the kitchen has more time for your table. One to keep on the list for your next trip across town.
