I have been wanting to try this place out after reading rave reviews from RERG and Six&Seven, so we headed there for dinner before spending a (WICKED!) night out with Nick and Kelvin!
This place is located at the ground floor of Asia Square Towers, a stone throw away from Marina Bay MRT. My first remark when we got there was, “No indoor seating ah?”. Yes, the dining area is outdoors while the kitchen (with their mighty stone ovens) are tucked inside. Thankfully the area was breezy and it wasn’t too hot. Moreover, they were having 1 for 1 happy hour for their beers! So we ordered a couple of Kirin beers to cool us down.
We had the popular Pistachio Pizza ($24) which is essentially pizza smeared with pistachio pesto paste and copious amounts of exotic vegetables with a sprinkling of mozzarella. When I read RERG’s review on how the pistachio pizza tastes like BBQ chicken wing I was deeply skeptical. How can something so green taste like meat? But tasting is believing. It truly had this perfectly grilled chicken flavour to it which bewildered my tastebuds. I’m not sure how the mix of vegetables, pistachio paste and mozzarella can do such magic but yes, it does. The pizzas here are thin crusted btw, and they were slightly burnt and somehow gave out a nice smokey grilled taste.
Next up, we had the other recommended pizza, Ham and Mushroom ($24)which was not as mind blowingly good as the previous. It was a decent pizza topped with ham and mushroom although I wished they would be more generous with the pine nuts topping.
Finally, the meal ended with Tiramisu ($8). It was decent, the mascarpone was good, although I wished the liquer content was higher hehe.
Overall, it’s a great place to hang out for beer and great thin crusted pizza. My only complain? The chairs. They are really uncomfortable to sit on for long periods. Hope they invest in better chairs/cushions soon! BTW, there is no service charge here, tipping is highly encouraged! Will definitely come back for a great evening out with excellent tasting pizzas!
