Its not hard to find good thin-crust pizzas these days, but getting them at affordable prices and without the need to dress up is another thing. A pizza of upmarket quality in family-friendly settings seem impossible, no? But that's all gonna change with the growing chain of Peperoni Pizzeria!
Under the umbrella of Les Amis Group (the brand itself gives quality assurance already), Peperoni Pizzeria offers casual Italian dining without the eyesore 10% service charge (7% GST still applies though). At their latest Frankel Avenue outlet, the bright red steel chairs and well-lit interior make you comfortable enough to dine in khaiki shorts and to chuckle loudly with family and friends.
The eatery was so popular on a weekend night that the girlfriend and I could only have bar counter seats despite reservations! By the way, don't think that service quality will be sub-parred without the tax (I honestly don't see the link anywhere else either), as we were attended to by friendly staff who constantly top up our iced water.
Chicken Wings ($8.00), Hoegaarden, Half Pint ($10.00)
Sharing this as a pre-meal snack, the mid joints and drumlets were nicely marinated and coated with a lovely thin, crispy batter. Served fresh off the fryer, it was a little on the oily side though.
What's wings and pizza without beer? Settle for nothing but one of the best white beer around!
Suprema, Salmon, 12" Large ($23.00)
As they could accommodate two flavours for large pizzas, that just allowed us to try more things at one go! The Suprema is topped with shitake mushrooms and chicken sausages, given a little spicy kick from its diced red chilli. The Salmon is our mandatory half everytime as we loved how well the juicy salmon cubes and sweet caramelised onion came together.
Of course, not forgetting about the all-important pizza base. Smokey and crispy at the edges while retaining a soft, chewy centre that absorbs all the sauce and juices of the toppings. Very good stuff!
21" XXL Pizzas ($50.00)
While the two of us couldn't attempt their now-famous humongous creations, we went on a separate trip with NTU Deli Aprecio Club to the Greenwood Avenue branch, where the 24 of us tucked into six monsters and tried abit of different toppings. That was fun!
Bill for two was $18 after a $9.80 Groupon voucher. Top-notch quality at wallet-friendly prices, what more can I ask for? Besides pizza, they also do a good plate of pasta as my Squid Ink Angel Hair turned out well on our very first visit. Returning to grab more slices and strands soon!

Peperoni is a great place for groups! In fact I would say the bigger the group the better. It's somewhat gratifying when you see 21 inch pizzas coming to the table haha.
is this better than pitchstop? haha
I didn't realize that there's no 10% here!
Rachel: Agreed! Imagine my joy when I see 6 of them coming at one go, haha!
Graeme: You bet bro. Really should try it some day.
Glenn: Yup, student friendly! haha
