Was enticed by a $5 deal from bigdeal.com which included 1 Pizza + 1 Drink + 1 Salad / Chicken Wing and decided to purchase it for a farewell meal to celebrate one of our colleague’s last day with us.We found the pizza selection pretty decent – Margherita, Pepperoni, Hawaiian and Regina. What really surprised us was the size of the pizza slices – boy were they were huge for just $5!Tucked away at a rather quiet corner at the basement of Orchard Central, we found the setting of the place very cas

Tucked away at a rather quiet corner at the basement of Orchard Central, we found the setting of the place very casual, akin to a fast food outlet minus the hustle and bustle. The service staff were friendly and processed our orders – two sets of Regina, one set of Hawaiian, and one set of Pepperoni (all with salad and ice lemon tea) fairly quickly. Good news to OpenRicers with the Perx apps, you get to redeem a free vanilla ice cream cone with just 3 chops (which we did for dessert ^^).
Time to tuck it in! I’m glad I made the right choice ^^ Regina was fluffy and soft on the inside with tomato, mozzarella, mushrooms and ham blended in perfect harmony. You could literally feel the warm cheese oozing out with every bite – the way pizzas should be! The crust was thick and chewy, no surprises inside but I thought it would taste better if it was slightly “crustier” with more crisp. The generous toppings of mushrooms and ham were definitely a plus! A must try here, surprisingly, was their curry ketchup. Although it tasted neither like curry nor ketchup (more like a special blend of BBQ & sweet sauce), it went perfect with the pizza and brought out an extra zest to every bite.
This is one truly versatile sauce as it blended well with the salad too (I decided to use this sauce instead of the Italian dressing that came with the salad as I found that a tad too oily for my liking). The salad, which consisted of wild rocket, spinach, cherry tomatoes, and onions, was a good complement to our pizza.
Overall, it was really a steal! A cosy and casual ambience coupled with generous servings of pizza + salad + drinks + ice cream all for just $20 for 4 pax! A simple yet memorable farewell lunch indeed!
