Beyond the Dough Pizzeria

Of course, you can’t go home without trying Beyond The Dough’s brilliant Home Made Tiramisu ($12). Essentially a greatly balanced, delicious slice of cake. Think rich coffee flavour, creamy smooth mascarpone, moist layers of sponge that are just boozy enough and a delectable bittersweet blanket of cocoa powder on the very top.

Reminding me of a breakfast pizza, the Bismark ($35) was a foolproof, classic pairing with Mozzarella, Mushroom, Prosciutto, Egg, Pecorino and Black Pepper. Yes to the luscious runny yolk, savoury melted cheese and saltish ham. As expected the wood-fired dough was the highlight, the thin crust exceptionally seasoned and you got to love the beautiful smokey charred edges. The fine pie with soft-crisp-and-the-right-amount-of-chew bites.

Seemingly studded with herbs in their batter, the Not Your Ordinary Fried Chicken ($15) was executed perfectly too. Thin, delicately light, crisp, crunchy and not at all greasy, the exterior was superb. I especially enjoyed the wonderfully marinated and succulent protein which was perfumed with the homemade Japanese herb sauce - so juicy and moreish.

Beyond mere pizzas

🍝Home Made Lasagna
Pricey for its portion but Beyond The Dough’s Home Made Mini Bucket Lasagna ($12) was pretty darn good; I would say it is definitely one of my favourites. Nothing like the conventional pasta dish, their rendition was like a mini pasta soup with gooey umami cheese baked atop flavourful beef chunks simmered in a tantalising tomato sauce. Limited to one portion per customer, the adorable petite pot tasted real comforting and a must-try in my opinion. Truly a starter to get you going before you sink your teeth into the chef’s signature pies.

My favourite at the table was their 5 Formaggi ($39). An indulgent pizza topped with five rich cheeses - Mascarpone, Smoked Mozzarella, Gorgonzola, Talegio and Parmigiana. I am no cheese lover but the savouriness from the cheeses was very wonderfully balanced. Even the usual funk of the blue cheese was very palatable and that small pitcher of Italian honey on the side was a god send as I really love the sweet-salty mix - turning it into a dessert pizza of sorts.

While prices are steep, all pizzas are handmade by the chef and the quality was certainly there. So it is best to head here in a small group to try out more! A waiting time of 15 to 20 mins is to be expected.
