Yes, but dining room receptacles are required to be on a small appliance branch circuit and AFCI protection is required for those as well as for the lighting outlets in that room.
If the pantry space is truly considered a part of the kitchen then I agree, but if the pantry is just considered a closet or similar area and not actually part of the kitchen, then I believe it would have to be treated similar to a dining room.
I think by definition a pantry is generally considered part of a traditional kitchen, but I was sort of hoping that maybe there had been a formal interpretation of this made somewhere.
