Our Story
“Bringing Naples to Koh Samui”
We are Dhanat & Kasira, owners of Pizzeria Sorte. Our journey started back in 2018.
Fuelled by a relentless self-taught spirit, Dhanat refined his craft through years of independent experimentation and apprenticeship on the job, before proving his craft in Naples to earn his official pizzaiolo certification. Following in Dhanat's steps, Kasira too undertook training to become a true Neapolitan "pizzaiuola". Our passion for this ancient craft and the quest to perfect our dough in the tropical climate of Koh Samui has been a journey of dedication and love.
Thanks to the incredible support of our guests, our humble vision has grown into a beautiful reality. From our first home in Bophut to our newest location opened in Lamai in April 2026, our promise remains the same: uncompromising quality, friendly atmosphere, and the authentic taste of Naples in every single bite.
Master Instructor
As a fully certified Master Instructor by the Accademia Nazionale Pizza DOC in Italy, Dhanat personally trains our Pizzaioli. There are no shortcuts, only the craft.
Dhanat is an AVPN (Associazione Verace Pizza Napoletana) Olympics 2022 first runner-up. Both Dhanat & Kasira competed in Naples at the Caputo Cup in 2024 & 2025.
Premium Ingredients
We source every core ingredient directly from Italy: Caputo Tipo 00 flour, DOP San Marzano tomatoes, mozzarella Fior di Latte, real buffalo mozzarella, burrata, and premium cured meats from Campania and other renowned regions of Italy.
No substitutes. No compromises. Our mission is to offer the most authentic Neapolitan pizza experience possible, by bringing the best original Italian ingredients to Koh Samui.
Crafted at 450°C,
Refined for the Modern Palate.
At Sorte Pizzeria, we believe that honoring tradition means perfecting the future. As the only Accademia Pizza DOC certified pizzeria in Thailand, our commitment to Neapolitan standards is absolute. To reach the next level of culinary excellence, we have transitioned to high-precision, gas-fired stone ovens.
1. Sustainability
We love Koh Samui. By eliminating wood-smoke emissions, we help preserving the island’s air quality. Sorte provides a sustainable dining experience that protects our local ecosystem.
2. Precision
Our advanced gas-fired stone ovens eliminate the unpredictability of moisture and air flow, ensuring every crust is perfectly blistered and every base is evenly cooked.
3. Purity
Without the soot of traditional wood fires, the true character of our 24-hour naturally leavened dough and premium Italian ingredients takes center stage. You taste the pure flavors of Naples.
“As Neapolitans, we can say this pizza was really good. Excellent quality products — Caputo flour, San Marzano tomatoes, buffalo mozzarella.”

What is Pizza DOC certification?
Pizza DOC (Denominazione di Origine Controllata) is a rigorous standard issued in Italy for authentic Neapolitan pizza. It audits and guarantees the purity of ingredients, dough preparation techniques, and exact cooking methods. We are immensely proud to be the first and only establishment in Thailand to pass this evaluation.
