Peperoni Pizzeria (Hillcrest)

Having heard friends raving about this pizza place, we just have to check it out (especially when I'm having craving for Italian cuisine). It is tucked somewhere in a quiet corner in Bukit Timah (behind NJC), Greenwood Avenue to be exact. (Reservation is highly recommended especially if you want indoor seats since there are only 6, 7 tables inside.)


Wedges

Hubby (an avid potato lover) insisted on this dish. *roll eyes*
(A side note: we had to takeaway this truckload in the end because we were full to the brim)

This is yummlicious! Please do not be mistaken, that white pile on top is the chicken strips and that big round fried object at the bottom is the Portobello Mushroom! The mushroom is coated with a rather thick batter, but still it tasted great especially with the wild rocket. I suggest at least 2-3 pax sharing for this dish or it can get overwhelmed with its rich flavours.

Large pizza (12 inches) with 2 flavours-
 Classic pepperoni and Fruitti Di Mare(seafood)

The pizza is nice; the Pepperoni is flavourful but too salty and the Fruitti Di Mare is full of seafood flavour, the clams, fish, calamari and prawns are fresh, I like this better. Service is so-so, some are friendly and some need improvement. Initially I went with the impression that it is a posh italian pizzeria, oh man I was so wrong. First it's not posh at all, it's more of shabby style and the pizza is a bit more american than italian style if you ask me. Anyway they are famous for their XXL pizza which can easily serve 5-6 people. And they have no service charge.

Conclusion: It's not really worth the effort getting there if you have no car. More suitable for a gathering than a date. And it makes me miss Loui's NY pizza @ USS, how I wish they can set up another branch somewhere else.
 
Above are my five cents' worth.
