The Pizza Company

The Pizza Company is Thailand's home-grown pizza giant — a nationwide casual-dining chain (part of the Minor Food group) with more than 300 branches, several of them in Pattaya. If you've travelled anywhere in Thailand you've seen the red logo; it's the default family pizza order for locals and expats, well ahead of the international brands on reach and delivery speed. The menu is broad American-Italian comfort food: hand-tossed and thin-crust pizzas (from classic Hawaiian and pepperoni to Thai-leaning toppings like tom yum and seafood), pasta, baked rice, salads, garlic bread, chicken wings and set menus that pair a pizza with sides and drinks. Prices are mid-range and family-friendly — individual pizzas roughly 200–450 baht, with value sets and frequent promotions bringing the per-head cost down. In Pattaya you'll find full dine-in restaurants inside the malls (Terminal 21 on the 3rd floor, Central Festival Pattaya Beach on the 3rd floor) plus branches along the main roads, all air-conditioned and reliable. The real strength is delivery: call the 1112 hotline or order through the app or the usual food-delivery platforms and it arrives fast, hot and consistent. It's not gourmet, but it's dependable, everywhere, and a safe bet with kids or after a long beach day.

Pan Pan (Central Pattaya)

Pan Pan is one of Pattaya's oldest and best-known Italian names, serving the town since the mid-1970s, and this is its central branch. The formula that made it a fixture is unchanged: wood-fired pizzas from a traditional oven at the front of the room, house-made pasta and risotto, grilled meats, and — the part regulars rave about — a proper in-house bakery and gelateria turning out cakes, pastries and Italian ice cream. It's a comfortable, slightly old-school trattoria rather than a trendy new opening, which is exactly why it has kept a loyal expat and repeat-visitor crowd for decades. Prices are fair for the quality and the history: pizzas start under 200 baht, pasta from around 190, and main courses land in the 250–350 baht range, so a two-course dinner with a drink stays firmly mid-range. The gelato and dessert counter is worth saving room for and is a destination in its own right for many locals. Reviews are broadly positive but not universal — some diners find individual dishes hit-or-miss and the style a touch dated — which is a fair reflection of a long-running kitchen that plays it straight rather than chasing trends. For a reliable, central, well-priced Italian with genuine pedigree and a standout dessert case, it's an easy recommendation. There are sister branches in Jomtien and at Central Festival if this one isn't convenient.
