Knicker+Bockers literally refers to the casual New Yorker style of wearing baggy pants and being easy going. Here at this pizza joint, they literally give you the option to add any toppings at just a flat price. Being in Singapore, we all know certain ingredients usually command a higher price like seafood and certain meats. But not here.
You can make your own pizza $12.90 or even pasta $8.90. It was fun deciding what my favourite ingredients were and I was spoilt for choice. For the base, my favourite was the pesto garlic. For cheeses, I liked the mozarella or cheddar slightly more than the rest. If you wanted a 5 cheese pizza, TICK ALL THE BOXES!
i had a take home pizza of pesto, mozarella, salmon, mushrooms, beef salami, and bacon. I reheated it in the morning in the toaster at maximum temperature for 5 minutes as per Phillip, the owner's recommendation but maybe my toaster wasn't powerful enough. The base of the pizza remained soggy despite the rest of the ingredients being well cooked.
It's a slight shame that even though I tried 2 different pizzas with bacon at the shop. Not one bit of bacon was crispy. The salami however was crisp as a Lay's potato crisp! That was delicious!
It was nice to watch the staff pick out the ingredients as per my order and generously place them on the pizza dough and then watch my pizza roll through the oven. Almost reminds me of Quizzos, when they have the subs roll though the oven and come out all toasted and ready to be devoured!
Knicker+Bockers definitely redefines the pizza dining experience in Singapore. I don't think I've seen other eatery offer unlimited toppings on a pizza at just $12.90!
For people who can't decide what they want to add to their pizza, there are some signature pizzas that have been designed to help lazy people decide what to eat. Pick one of those and run along. However, I felt that that kills the fun of dining at Knicker+Bockers.
CHECK OUT THE SALMON here!
The thin crust pizza is a signature of NY. The staff are very friendly and can help you come to a decision on what ingredients you would like to have on the pizza. They are also very patient.
The cafe has a very typical "bar" set up and it is warmly lit with a high ceiling and lights dangling down. It can accomodate a group of maybe 20 pax at total. They also serve soda, fruit juices and even ice cream soda and root beer in glassed bottles.
Overall : A fun and delicious dining experience and I am so ready to experiment with more ingredients at Knicker+Bockers
