Pepperoni

food 8/10

The accessibility of this restaurant is quite inconvenient if you don't drive. However, i noticed most of their customers are the residents staying around the area. Normally i would see cars drive by to collect their pizza that they ordered beforehand.

What i love about Pepperoni is the thin-crust pizza. The menu has an extensive range of pizzas and it comes in different sizes. They are famous for its LARGE family size pizza that can barely fit the table.

This restaurant is not for couples who want a romantic quiet evening, but instead for families with children. Kids are always occupied with the crayons and drawing paper provided by the restaurant while the adults are able to enjoy the food.

When dining at Pepperoni, be prepared not to take what the staff says seriously as they are always cracking jokes. Even the menu is filled with false information such as mineral water priced at $100+.

For a group of 4, ordering the family size is more than sufficient. i normally opt for 2 different toppings. For first timers, i recommend trying the pepperoni if you do not mind it being slightly salty.

This place is where I go for my comfort food - pasta.

Love the aglio olio. So so authentic. And the best part - very garlicky! 

Love the thin-crust pizza. So thin that you don't get bloated after the 2nd slice.

But avoid the weekends if you dislike noisy kids. Cos there are always parents who bring their kids there, sitting outside and allowing them to run around, screaming etc. No offence parents. I just want to enjoy my food and the quiet surroundings.

Was in the mood for some thin crust pizza so the glutton in me opted for Peperoni Pizzeria, which is owned and operated by fine dining chain Les Amis and boasts a never seen elsewhere in Singapore XXXL family size pizza, measuring 21 inches in diameter. Compare that with the 12-14 inches that is offered by other pizza joints and Peperoni easily takes the cake in terms of size.

Located in the upmarket and reclusive residential enclave of Greenwood Ave, Peperoni Pizzeria sits along a row of tiny shophouses that play host to various renowned F&B establishments such as Punggol Seafood, Lana, Greenwood Fish Market, just to name a few. The air conditioned area exudes a nice warmth through the use of pastel colours and various artworks by professional artists and school children alike. You can even follow the process of your pizza being made and then baked in the oven. There is also a small al fresco area behind which is reminiscent of a mini courtyard, complete with vines. If you need a pass time while waiting for your food or an aspiring artist, just ask for crayons and you can doodle on the paper tablecloths.

XXXL Pizza - If you order the large pizza (12 inches) and above, you can request to split your pizza into 2 totally different flavours, which allows for more variety. We had the Hawaii (tomato sauce, mozzarella, pineapple, cooked ham, bell peppers) and the Suprema (tomato sauce, mozzarella, shitake mushroom, chicken, sausage, onions and red chilli). The pizza crust was relatively thin but a tad too burnt along the edges. The base did seem a little too soggy from all the sauces as well. Ingredients didn't come across as plentiful but adequate nevertheless. Personally I thought that the Hawaii portion tasted better as it came across as more flavourful then that of the Suprema.

Creme Brulee - Ending our high carbohydrate meal on a sweet note was the creme brulee, which was quite good but certainly not the best I've had. Made from real vanilla beans, the pudding wasn't too sweet but the overly soft texture didn't exactly sit well with me. The sugar layer was thin and broke easily under pressure. Peperoni's rendition is comparable to the one at FRE(N)SH, just 1.5 times the size and double the price.

A lunch of gigantic proportions set the 2 of us back by about $55, which is still reasonable considering that the amount of food could have fed at least 3 people. In case you are wondering, no, we didn't finish the food. I surrendered at the halfway mark while my gf ate a quarter of it. The remaining quarter was doggy bagged. Service was slow and spotty and it was quite difficult to catch the wait staff's attention at times. They weren't rude or anything, probably just inattentive or not around.

See all my pictures here.

If you feel like some pizza, this is the place to come, especially if you have enough people with you to have the XXL 22" pizza...mmn.

The bruscetta is really tasty and the pizzas are thin and crispy.

Would definately recommend it, and even when you factor in a few beers or glasses or wine its still a pretty good price.

Located in a quiet residential spot behind National JC, this restaurant is understated and homey. If you'd like to forget that you're in Singapore for just a brief hours, then sitting at the outdoor area at the back is highly recommended.

Everytime I visit this place with my friends, we never fail to order the bruschetta. This appetizer is a sure winner, as compared to other cafes which serve squashed tomatoes and cheap drizzled cheese and try to pass it off using the same name.

In this case, fresh diced tomatoes sit prettily on olive oil drizzled bread and in most cases, one order is not enough as it gets devoured pretty quickly!

The pizzas are fresh and tasty, and they have quite a variety to offer too.
