This is my first review I've given in OpenRice. I rarely write any sort of reviews, because most of the places I go to the quality wasnt always consistent or nothing too special to talk about. This is one pizzeria I came across just about a month ago. Before that I always go to paisanos, because there are quite a lot of paisanos around Hong Kong and i thought it tastes pretty good for New York style pizzas, though their politeness and service lacked a bit and fairly stingy on parmesan cheese pow

This is my first review I've given in OpenRice. I rarely write any sort of reviews, because most of the places I go to the quality wasnt always consistent or nothing too special to talk about. This is one pizzeria I came across just about a month ago. Before that I always go to paisanos, because there are quite a lot of paisanos around Hong Kong and i thought it tastes pretty good for New York style pizzas, though their politeness and service lacked a bit and fairly stingy on parmesan cheese powder and chilli flakes . However, when I saw Checkmate, of course I was sceptical about it as I was used to paisanos at the time and I looked for reviews on it and unsurprisingly I found only 4 reviews. On a random pizza craving day I decided to go for a slice of pepperoni pizza as checkmate is close to where my girlfriend lives, and it tasted..
phenomenal! And I've kept coming here. The pizza sauce was slightly sweet which I prefer, the crust is fresh and crispy, fluffy top, cheese and pepperoni proportion was spot on! One thing that surprised me was that their restaurant isn't always fill up with customers but yet their staff is always very polite and their services are outstanding. Half an hour ago I just ordered a 16" pepperoni pizza takeaway and Ive asked for parmesan cheese and chilli flakes with it. 20 mins later I received my pizza and my parmesan cheese and chilli flakes, I was surprised the lady asked if they had given me enough parmesan and chilli. That really gave me a wow, because I was never used to that service in local restaurant in Hong Kong, let alone a New York style pizzeria. The chef I have to mention, the pizza I received is perfect, the best looking pizza I've seen in my life and it sure tasted delicious, just a very classic New York pizza and perfect amount of toppings. Hats off to you sir! Just places like these really deserves good things to be said about it. Running a business is insane in Hong Kong as we know it. But a pizzeria in Hong Kong? Even harder. But yet they've managed to have kept their standard up. I know this review is long but I have to say what I had to say. And again I hope this place will keep its quality and service, and I hope they'll expand in the near future!
