Boyfriend and I were in the Wanchai area and planning to do takeaway from a favorite sandwich shop of mine before heading home. But down the street was this new shop all in green. Walking over we discovered it was a takeaway pizza place.But what caught my eye was the oven. It was decorated like a green monster?? But hidden behind this facade was a stone pizza oven!!! Now, stone pizza ovens are very rare for any restaurant let alone a takeway shop. Curious, we decided to give it try.The menu is
But what caught my eye was the oven. It was decorated like a green monster?? But hidden behind this facade was a stone pizza oven!!! Now, stone pizza ovens are very rare for any restaurant let alone a takeway shop. Curious, we decided to give it try.
The menu is in English and Chinese. As it's takeway only, there is no 10% service charge. They have a large variety of pizzas to choose from along with other items like pasta and snacks.
They also have 2 people and 4 people sets.
And a single size version for takeaway.
We decided to do the 2 people set for $288. This includes a pizza for under $139. Anything over, you just add money to make the difference. There is also a choice of pasta, a snack and two drinks or the daily soup. Everything was packed in a sturdy plastic bag with well lidded containers so there was no spillage. I didn't live far so it was still warm when we got home.For the pizza we chose the Meat Monster (added $20). A generous topping of pepperoni, chirozo, meat sauce, mushroom, red onion and plenty of cheddar cheese. The sauce had a nice seasoning of herbs. And the crust! Wow. Very crispy and well toasted.
For the snacks we chose Smoked Salmon and Cheddar Cheese Spring Rolls. These came with wasabi mayonnaise for dipping. The spring rolls remained crunchy all the way back home. I loved the cheese as it complimented the smoked salmon perfectly, giving the salmon an even stronger smokey taste.
For the pasta, we chose the Spaghetti Bolognese with Hotspring Egg. I definitely never tried an egg, let alone a hotspring egg with my bolognese so this was definitely different. But it oddly worked. I guess eggs work with everything. The bolognese sauce was very rich and meaty. The pasta was also al dente.
The set also included two soft drinks or a choice of daily soup. I got one daily soup because I don't really like soft drinks. The daily soup that day was cream of corn. Very creamy and lots of fresh corn niblets. It was also dressed with a bit of olive oil. Definitely not something I expecte from a takeaway shop.
Good tasting food at a decent price. They even did a few things that seemed more fancier than the usual takeaway. Everything was made to order but they were very fast. Would definitely give them another try again.
