The Pizza Place II

The Pizza Place has been around for quite some time now, and I still have a liking for its fresh and well-baked pizzas. It's a toss-up between "typical flavours" from Pizza Place and the more exotic flavours (think Peking Duck) from California Pizza Kitchen. It's not as thin or "skinny" as those from Timbre, but instead has a thicker and "cheesier" crust. This restaurant also operates on an interesting Four No's - No pork, No lard, No GST and No service charge. Pizzas come in personal sizes, calzone (folded pizza!), regular, medium and large. Interestingly enough, the friends that I brought along with me were more in the mood for pastas (!!!) but at least the pastas were fairly decent. Still prefer the pizzas much, much more though!


Meatball Linguini: 3.25/5


As I said, decent, but as you can see, the meatballs are a bit overdone and a tad charred inasmuch as they're nice and beefy to munch on. Very simple fare, I suppose I just felt unimaginative to order this.

Carbonara Linguini


The best friend's choice of pasta. It's beef "bacon" bits by the way, not the real carbonara (pork) bacon of course. The best friend commented that it was very good because it wasn't too heavy, and isn't like the "conventional" carbonara where it is all cream and cheese. She noted that there's herbs and spices in the cream that made it more fragrant and flavourful, and also mentioned that the beef bacon was tastier than the usual pork bacon! Very detailed comments from the best friend, no doubt about it haha!

Chicken and Mushroom Baked Rice


It looks fine on the outside and on the inside, and definitely not as creamy or cheesy as the one from Breko's.

Triple Cheese Personal Pizza


Triple cheese pizza consisting of mozzarella, cheddar and feta cheese. Very simple fare. If you need recommendations on pizzas, I think the Mediterranean one is quite good! For the full menu, click here.
