Ah, the ubiquitous Pizza.

Whether you’re a pizza purist who turns your nose up at anything non-traditional (even if pineapple on pizza is your guilty pleasure), or an experimental taste palette that is open to practically anything under the sun, here are some of the BEST pizzerias to get your pizza fix!

Cicheti
cuisinesItalian, Mediterranean

Melding traditional Italian heritage with distinct Mediterranean influences, they are famed for their beloved Neapolitan-style pizzas, which are undoubtedly the highlight of Cicheti’s menu. Priced anywhere from $18 – $28 each, revisit the classics like the Quattro Formaggi, a four-cheese topped pizza with an option of Greek honey. The real standout here is their chewy, perfectly charred crust that’s been baked to perfection in their Italian wood-fired oven.

A chic Italian offering tucked along the swanky bars at Hong Kong street, be prepared to drool over their wood-fired pizzas here. Helmed by chef Beppe De Vito amd pizza chef Federico Schiraldi under the iiLido Group, the atmosphere is casual yet sophisticated, with dimmed lights that draw attention to the open kitchen. The pizzas in question are light and doughy, with a crisp and slightly charred base. With only 8 pizzas on the menu, each flavour holds its weight and packs a serious punch. Opt for one that has creamy buffalo cheese, prosciutto, rocket, and fig vincotto ($32), which is an Italian vinegar that’s similar to balsamic but a touch stickier and sweeter on the palette.

Blue Label Pizza & Wine
cuisinesAmerican

With American chef Travis Masiero at helm, the atmosphere is electric and vibrant, reminiscent of a hole-in-the-wall diner in New York City. Located at both Ann Siang Road and Mandarin Gallery, Blue Label’s pizzas are robust in flavours, such as the Umami Bomb – shiitake, spinach and anchovy, sprinkled with goat’s cheese on a cornmeal crust. Those leaning towards traditional renditions can go for The Original Famous, a five-cheese blend with a tomato base garnished with fresh basil. For the absolute carnivores, the J-Dog ($35) is a sick upgrade on the usual meat lovers selection, packed with pork sausage, bacon, pepperoni and a tinge of spice from finely cubed jalapeños.

Boasting themselves as “SG’s Top Ranked Pizza”, Alt. Pizza offers a wide range of delectable cheeses, homemade sauces, gourmet meats, seafood, and fresh herbs as topping options to customise your very own dream pizza. Alt-ernatively (pun unintended), opt for signature offerings such as The Hangover (tomato sauce, mozzarella, pepperoni, fennel sausage, and parmesan) and Truffle Shuffle (chicken fennel sausage, roasted mushrooms and onions, mozzarella, parmesan and of course, truffle oil).

Chooby Pizza
cuisinesItalian

A cafe by day (it’s Old Hen Kitchen by the way) and Chooby Pizza at night, they specialise in naturally leavened Napoletana Style pizza that features a light and thin crust, while the naturally leavened dough ferments longer than regular dough, which creates an entirely new depth of flavour. Open only for three days in a week, patrons are clamouring for a seat at this exclusive pizzeria. Try the Thai-inspired Spiced Coconut Chicken, with a lightly spicy tom kha sauce, chilli oil and coriander, while balancing flavours with a mild grana padano and mozzarella cheese.
