1) Seafood Pizza ($26).The seafood pizza was average tasting. 2) Prosciutto & Arugula Pizza ($26)look at the generous serving of parma ham!! I love parma ham, especially when they are complemented together with the rocket leaves. Worth the try! However, i do feel that their parma ham is slightly salty.

Full review here: http://oyhz.blogspot.sg/2014/03/extra-virgin-pizza-x-entertainer.htmlThe Extra Virgin Pizza outlet has a warm and casual ambience and the new branch at the United Square is spacious enough for long tables - great for large groups gatherings!We were told that the pizzas are the mains available for Buy-One-Get-One-Free.So it was PURE PIZZA night!All pizzas are hand-made and baked to order at Extra Virgin Pizza. And as the name suggests, Extra Virgin Pizza uses quality and pure extra virgin olive oil, and only globally sourced premium ingredients such as Italian double-zero flour, california organic Saporito tomatoes and premium imported cheeses and toppings.With more than 10 unique flavours for pizzas, we spent quite a bit of time making our choices!There were two chef recommendation/favourites ordered - Spotted Pig and Pistachio Pesto.Spotted Pig Pizza with tomato, mozzarella, pepperoni, pork sausage, applewood smoked bacon, parmigiano reggianoPistachio Pesto with pistachio pesto, mozzarella, baby arugula, lemon vinaigrette, pecorino, provoloneWhile the two recommendations above were delightful, my personal favourites are actually Mushroom Bianco and Seafood Pizza!Mushroom Bianco with mozzarella, roasted mushrooms and onions, fontina, rosemary, pecorino, truffle oilThis was sooo good even though it's basically just cheese and mushrooms! (okay, with a drizzle of truffle oil)There wasn't any pizza sauce used, which allows the natural flavour of the mushrooms to ooze out as you bite into the pizza.Do try this if you're a mushroom lover like me! Seafood with bechamel, prawns, clams, squid, cherry tomatoes, chili flakes, parmigiano reggiano, pecorino, lemon juice, shaved garlicThis came as a surprise favourite for myself as I don't usually take spiciness well. The seafood pizza came with some chili flakes which was considered mild and adds on to the flavour perfectly.Ingredients used were very fresh. I like especially the squid which was Q and springy!Full review here: http://oyhz.blogspot.sg/2014/03/extra-virgin-pizza-x-entertainer.html

Extra Virgin Pizza is another F&B concept by under the umbrella of The Lo & Behold Group. This group is responsible for the ever popular establishment such as The White Rabbit, The Black Swan, Overeasy and Loof. Under the guidance of the young entrepreneur Wee Teng Wen and Daniel He, expect this group to deliver a fresh yet elegant dining on Singapore shore.Little Devil and I actually chanced upon Extra Virgin Pizza while looking for a quick lunch place in United Square. To our benefit, they were offering one for one pizza promotion with UOB Card. As it is lunch, we only ordered 2 pizzas. Spotted Pig ($26) and Prosciutto & Arugula ($26). Both pizza are based with tomato and mozarella cheese. Each pizza is about personal size, cut to 6 slices each. Spotted pig toppings are spicy pepperoni, pork sausage, applewood smoked ham and pecorino. This generous ingredients resulted in a delicious well baked pizza with a subtle heat / spiciness coming from the pepperoni. Meanwhile the Prosciotto & Arugula provide a more healthy version to offset the meaty pizza. The prosciutto di parma, baby arugula and parmagiano reggiano provide a good combination. Again the ingredients are generous and fresh. Although the toppings are good, we find that some areas can be improved especially on the dough and the timing in the oven. The dough is not rolled out consistently. The area without the toppings turn out to be to thick and chewy and it tasted like the dough are not evenly cooked. Based on our experience eating in pizzeria using brick ovens, we understand that pizzas cooked brick oven have the rustic burnt feeling. However on that day it was just too much burnt areas and created a bitter taste on the pizza. (Hopefully management can accept our feedback, Hint Hint!!)For drink, we ordered Ice Lemon Tea ($5.50), which is homemade (they separated the sugar) and tasted very good. Ambiance in this branch was great. The place is quite spacious there are a lot of natural lighting in the restaurant during the day. Service is very minimum, as we need to order at the counter and make payment first. Not sure what is the reason behind this, as there are sufficient service staff to provide full service. Overall we find that Extra Virgin Pizza has the ingredients and potential to compete with the higher end pizzeria. At this point of time, the components has not come together yet. With a little bit of tweaking and adjustment they will soon be there. Pricing is slightly on the high side. Luckily we have UOB Card to thank for the promo.

Pizzas are not for everyone.If you do not like carbohydrates, sodium and cheese, Extra Virgin Pizza (EVP) is definitely not for you. But if you do, I would welcome you EVP at United Square is not stingy on its ingredients and sodium. Coupled with a fiery oven, the pizzas usually turn out nice, crisp and have robust smokey flavour.The FoodI like my pizzas cheesy. So white pizzas are a good choice here. A good measure of a good pizza,to me, is a pepperoni. Nothing beats pepperoni fats flowing onto good cheese and fusing the flavours together on a well-spotted pizza.White pepperoni 4.25/5It's not often that one sees clams served baked in briny broth at a pizza joint. The ones done here are very well executed with a very strong clamy taste, that borders on bisque and butter. Oven baked clams 4/5if you like meatballs, you may wish to try EVP's version here. Not fantastic, but passable if you like a tangy basil laced ball of meat.Oven baked meatballs 3.5/5ConclusionI must warn you about the place. It's all indoor seating with an open concept kitchen. If you do not wish to smell of smokey pizza, try asking for a table further in the restaurant where the cashier/bar is located. Prices are reasonable and food great if you are in the Novena area.http://hmphie.blogspot.sg/

Read more reviews at http://thehungrybunnie.blogspot.comContrary to reviews of horrendously long queues here, it was barely half-filled when we walked in for dinner last Saturday. Although the place is semi-self-serviced, there wasn't a queue at the cashier's, our orders were taken promptly, and pizzas arrived speedily. The staff were, by and large, smiley and polite, if a little blur-ish, so there was none of that purportedly c*** service experienced by previous reviewers. It seems that the management has taken note of the reviews and tinkered with their service levels accordingly. Kudos to them if this was the case. The pizzas here are pretty decent. Considering that there isn't any service charge here, the pizzas at EVP still make for an extremely value-for-money meal even if their sizes are relatively smaller to Ricciotti's huge-assed ones. I didn't think EVP lost out to our favourite pizzerias Ricciotti or Peperoni either in terms of quality. Fresh, top-notch ingredients all smoked to perfection in that wood-fired oven. We had:1) Ham & Mushroom ($24): loved the addition of pine nuts to this.2) Prosciutto & Arugula ($26): my favourite coz i love love LURVE parma ham. Great balance of flavours and textures3) Spicy Pepperoni ($24): another good choice. Slivers of salty peppery cured meat were neatly arranged to ensure every mouthful is a burst of flavour
