Pizzas, anyone?
Been craving for pizza during cheatday for a while; and it seems like Best In Singapore has heard my cheatday wish! Thanks to them, I was able to try out Pizza Delivery Singapore, which was rated the 13 Best Pizza Deliveries in Singapore.
True to its name, Pizza Delivery focuses primarily on online delivery of the pizza experience, striving to provide us an authentic Italian experience with just a click away at our fingertips. An upscale fast-casual concept that serves up artisan-style Neapolitan pizzas and pasta made-on-demand, ready in minutes and delivered to our doorstep all under 1 hour! Neapolitan pizza, also known as pizza Napoletana, is a type of pizza that originated in Naples, Italy. This style of pizza is prepared with simple and fresh ingredients, with a very thin and airy crust at the base
Using air-flown Italian ingredients, coupled with their signature pizza sauce that's simmered for 8 hours and pizza dough that's fermented for 72 hours, the pizzas at Pizza Delivery are made on demand - right on the spot with each incoming order, unlike the usual mass-produced pizzerias, and fired up in their custom-made Italian stone oven replica. The ceramic material of a pizza stone is able to hold heat evenly, which absorbs moisture of the dough as it bakes, hence giving a crispier crust and a unique smoky flavour that a normal kitchen oven will not be able to replicate.
At just $57.80, you'll get 2 large 12" pizza (8 slices) of your choice, along with 6 pieces of Crispy Chicken Wings & Mozzarella Sticks.
And here's the two pizza flavours I've chosen for my bundle.
Le Amatriciana Pizza - $9.90 - $35.00
The all-time Italian favourite with tangy tomato sauce, streaky bacon, sliced yellow onions, red chilli, mozzarella cheese, and garnished with fresh parsley.
You definitely cannot go wrong with a thin crust, stone oven pizza topped with streaky bacon. The bacon bits gave so much savoury flavour to the pizza, while the chopped red chilli added a nice amount of heat to complement the tangy flavour of the tomato sauce and cuts through the creamy heaviness of the mozzarella cheese.
This is the kind of pizza that do not require any added grated Parmesan cheese or chilli flakes; and you'll just reach for the 2nd, 3rd and possibly 4th piece until you're stuffed.
The list of toppings definitely sounded very basic, but sometimes it's the most basic ingredients, when executed perfectly in a dish, which blows you away.
Chicken Alfredo Pizza - $12.90 - $39.00
Take a bite into the ultimate chunky yet tender pieces of chicken breast with fresh cherry tomatoes, mushrooms, capsicum peppers, briny olives and mozzarella cheese in Alfredo cream sauce.
Well, I'm always pro-tomato (over cream based sauces), so perhaps my rating here will be a little biased. I decided to go with this pizza instead of the safest choice of Hawaiian (pineapples belong on pizza, don't argue with me about that!) because an Alfredo pizza sounds pretty new and unique to me. But unfortunately, it turns out that this pizza only wow-ed me with its novelty.
I'll definitely prefer the Le Amatriciana over this. Probably due to the choice of using chicken breast, the meat was a tad dry and tough. The combination of mozzarella cheese with Alfredo cream sauce also lacks the dimension that would have been easily accomplished with a tangy tomato sauce. Overall the taste profile of this pizza is rather flat, but I can totally see a cream-based sauce fan loving this pizza instead.
Mozzarella Cheese Stick (6 pcs) - $11.90
100% Mozzarella sticks battered with golden breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese.
As the food were merely lukewarm when delivered, you can no longer create a cheese-pull with the cheese sticks. But if you really desire to have one, I suppose a few minutes of reheating in the airfryer should do the trick?
I totally appreciate that they've added Parmesan cheese to the breadcrumbs coating, which added tons of cheesy flavour to the cheese sticks. Well, we all know Parmesan is the MSG among cheeses, right? The grated Parmesan added so much flavour to the cheese sticks, that I could eat them without the marinara dipping sauce. And although lukewarm and lacking in the cheese-pull effect, the cheese was still chewy and had a great bite, similar to a QQ (bouncy) fishcake.
Crispy Chicken Wings (6 pcs) - $10.90 (was $14.90)
Our house specialty - Juicy, tender and crispy wings fried to perfection!
Love how these battered wings are still crispy despite being lukewarm! While the outside remains crisp and crunchy, the flesh was still tender and juicy. Although the chicken wings themselves weren't exceptionally flavourful, the mayo dipping sauce complemented the subtle flavour of the marinate seasoning really well.
Carbonara Spaghetti - $16.90
Silky white cream sauce accompanied with streaky bacon slices, white wine, garlic, freshly ground pepper and grated Parmesan.
*also available in Linguine
For just $16.90, you'll get A LOT of pasta and bacon bits. Both the HB and I are BIG EATERS, and as we both place our focus on finishing the pasta first, we ended up only finishing 6 of the total 16 slices of pizza, and left half of the chicken wings and cheese sticks untouched.
Taste wise, once again you cannot go wrong with streaky bacon in.... anything. It's amazing how these small pieces of meat can add so much savoury goodness to any dish. However, I'm not sure if it's due to the time taken for delivery, but this was the driest carbonara pasta I've ever eaten. No wait, scratch that. This was the driest pasta (vongole, aglio olio included) I've ever eaten. It taste perfectly fine though, just way too dry.
Another aspect of Pizza Delivery that I really appreciate, is how they not only tag a "best consumed by" time on every packaged order, but also clear stated the time the dish was ready to eat.
Pizza Delivery offers free islandwide delivery with purchases over $60. For a limited time only, enjoy a 1 for 1 promotion deal for all medium and large pizzas.
