Pie Face

An upscale pepperoni pizza if anything, the New York Famous Original from @robertaspizzasg is a people pleaser that gifts you with a most gratifying cheese pull while freshly hot out of the oven, with a triple threat of mozzarella, parmigiana and caciocavallo delivering on that casein hit that got you going back for more. In place of pepperoni is Calabrese salami, a tastier, meatier alternative which paired well with the chilli and oregano on the thin, slightly crisp and chewy pie. Yum.

Counting celebrities such as Beyonce, Jay-Z, Bill and Hilary Clinton amongst its fans, 15 year old famed Brooklyn pizzeria Roberta's newly opened Singapore outpost at Marina Bay Sands has been drawing in the crowds since the get-go. I was fortunate to snag a table just before a snaking queue formed outside.

All their outlets use the same menu, recipes and techniques, and the local staff have had training in the US branches, so you're probably guaranteed as close an experience to the original as possible. Their Neapolitan-style 12-inch pizzas are flash-cooked in a hybrid wood and gas-fired Pavesi oven for 90 seconds at a scorching 426° Celcius. The result? It's dough - made from the O.G. 15-year old natural starter - transforms into a thing of beauty, light, pleasingly chewy yet pliable, and blistered(not burnt) with innumerable, tiny leopard spots. It's the perfect medium for transporting those delicious toppings into your mouthhole,

By sheer dint of its name alone, I was compelled to order the Spring Of Doom, one of the more unique pizzas on the menu. It's a white pizza with a fulsome amount of garlic oil, chilli and lemon. The sharp crunch of vegetal broccolini and meaty saltiness of the soft sausage chunks complemented each other beautifully, the flavours blending with the aforementioned mentioned aromatics and the duo of mildly fruity taleggio and sharp parmigiana cheeses.

Taste: 3.5/5

A riot of colour and flavour, strips of smoky, oven roasted spicy chicken are married with cut chilli and onion for added kick, whilst coriander and lashings of yoghurt provide sweet relief from the heat, and the applewood fired charred crust itself is fluffy yet retains a good bite.

Taste: 3/5

Turning up the heat is @happyendingpizza 's Spicy Babe, a magnificently tasty number practically swimming in mala-infused oil, giving this beef(you can opt to swap for pork if you don’t eat beef) cherry tomato and mozarella topped pizza a healthy zing with each bite, but not excessively so. All flavour no danger!

Thanks @burpple for the invite and @happyendingpizza for the hospitality!

Taste: 3.5/5

Happy Ending’s take on the meat lover’s pizza was satisfactory enough, with pepperoni, garlic herbed sausage, and house-made pickles, but there needed to be alot more toppings to truly make this a more impactful pie. And whilst the leopard-spotted crust looked extremely enticing, I found it 2 points too chewy.
