Little Napoli is a new pizzeria that opened in my neighbourhood recently. I was originally attracted by the beautiful copper colored pizza oven. The chef was friendly and informed us he was from Italy with hopes to bring a more authentic Italian pizza experience. And that his oven, shipped from Italy can produce a pizza in 90 seconds. I was hyped and waited eagerly for it to open. When it finally opened, they were swamped with orders. With not enough staff, it opened at irregular hours. Sometime
Then one day, a coworker asked if I'd eaten there as I lived so close by. He had read it was mentioned in the Michelin Guide. Again it had peaked my interest. I noticed it now has dine in service and it is now opened regularly every evening. They also had a lot more staff working. I decided to order take away pizza that day when boyfriend decided to pop over for dinner.
There is a small space for dine in. But it's mostly geared for take away. The golden pizza oven is placed in the corner where everything is baked quickly.
Menu is in English and Italan only. There is no Chinese and not 10% service charge even for dine in. However, for thos that are lost, they have a set of photo cards with pictures of all their food so you get a general idea before you order. Plus, the cashier speaks Cantonese. The menu is simple. The pizzas are divided into red sauce or white sauce with the simplist of toppings. They also offer sandwiches and fried stuffed pizzas along with one type of dessert.
We did takeaway and the very sturdy box had an instructional label inside. The pizza wasn't pre-cut pizza places. Instead it was served whole an you are to cut it with scissors. They do this for you if you dine in. Then you lift it up, fold it over and eat away. I, of course, own a pizza cutter so ... that's how I cut it.
We ordered a Diavolo ($208) as boyfriend had horrible experience with white sauce on pizza in Hong Kong. He also wanted some meat instead of just plain tomato sauce and cheese. This was a spicy pizza but as I was afraid it would be too spicy, they were able to remove the chili for me. Otherwise it would be drizzled with chili oil and topped with chilli flakes. This was a pizza with a fresh tomato sauce seasoned with fresh basil and topped with lots of buffalo mozzarella. Some Pecorino Romano was lightly added on top and finished with a drizzle of olive oil. It was good and very much like the pizza I had in Italy. The crust was fluffy and soft. It was more like a flat bread with topping and that is exactly how Italian pizzas are like. Not thin or Chicago style. Not crisp. But fluffy and soft.
We added a dessert of Sfogliatella Riccia ($58). You can choose the puff pastry version or the butter brioche style. We did the puff pastry version and I remember having this in Rome but it was a lot bigger. This was exactly as delicious as the one I had in Rome. The pastry was so light and crisp, you could hear it snap as you bit into it. Inside it was filled to the brim with a soft custardy sweet ricotta cream. It didn't feel heavy at all. This was something I'd go back for again and again.
Definitely a very Italian pizza. Don't expect the pizzas you are used to. You won't find it here. Service is very friendly and relaxed. And now with more staff, orders are now faster. I waited only 15 minutes and they told me they would give me a ring to pick up so I could go home and drop off my things. Definitely be back and try a sandwich or somehing else.
