It is not easy to find Wood Fired Pizzas around these days as many of the pizza chains sells oven bake pizzas that doesn't have that high-temperature heat to achieve that smoky wood aroma. Since I was craving for pizza, my friend brought me to Peperoni Pizzeria a few days ago at the newly renovated Suntec City food fountain and I couldn't wait to bite into some delicious Italian wood fired pizzas!(Front of the Peperoni Pizza taken at 9.45pm when diners started to leave)Arriving at the basement o
(Front of the Peperoni Pizza taken at 9.45pm when diners started to leave)Arriving at the basement of Suntec City Tower 3, Peperoni Pizzeria too huge to be missed. The queue outside the restaurant was very long on a weekend evening and I bet the kitchen staffs were so busy churning out pizzas one after another as the restaurant, even though with a large seating capacity was totally full house.
It was later into the night at about 9pm, they have to close off the queue of the restaurant. Thankfully the crowd outside was well controlled as a staff allow guests to leave their name and number behind for table reservations.
Entering the huge restaurant, I have already like the industrial feel of the interior design with stone-like walls, wooden tables and metal chairs. It makes this place felt like a little like those underground Italian pizza bar kinda feel yet retaining that homely atmosphere with the shelves decorated with plants, pasta sauces and vegetables. How creative in making the environment feels so warm and cosy!
The staffs were quick to serve us water and pass us the menu for our table. The pizza menu is separate from their standard one with the well-designed menu to resemble a pizza on a wooden pan. The menu consist of classic Italian pizzas like Quattro Formaggi Mozzarella, Margherita and Napoletana which comes in various sizes:- medium, large and XXL as well as a choice of calzone! Besides this, their standard menu has a list of entrees, mains, pastas, dessert and drinks too.
Since there were 4 of us, we ordered the XXL 21-inch Pizza - $50 which is good for 4 - 6 paxs to share. When ordering a pizza, we can have the choice of 2 different halves of pizzas. We had half Prosciutto Crudo Di Parma & half Salmone pizza. We waited for quite a while, about 20 minutes for it to be served and it was slightly burnt on 1 side of the pizza but we didn't mind at all. At least we can tell that it was prepared with authentic wood fired! I enjoyed the Prosciutto Crudo Di Parma pizza because there are 2 of my favourite items, parma ham and rocket salad on it. I would say that this is the best of both worlds combination for me! Topped with feta cheese, it was simply awesome with the thin crisp crust and moist layer of mozzarella cheese. Delicious and yummy, I would say this would be my all-time favourite!
As for the Salmone pizza, it came with chunks of salmon, caramelized onions and capers. Oh boy, the capers added a nice burst of flavour to the salmon and caramelized onions. Nevertheless, it lacked some fresh greens and I still prefer the parma ham pizza.
This restaurant is owned by Les Amis and I was surprise that they DO NOT have GST or Service Charge! All prices on the menu are nett and I have to say kudos to the food, service and ambiance. The staffs were very professional, calm and patient despite having to deal with the crazy dinner crowd. This place is certainly worth a visit again even if there's a long queue!
