The flames are lit at a new pizzeria serving traditional and modern Neapolitan pies on Circular Road.
Wild Child Pizzette, nestled in a row of shophouses near Singapore’s bustling business district, is a new joint specializing in 10-inch pizzettes made with slow-fermented dough and topped with contemporary Italian goodies cooked in a traditional wood-fired oven.
While the food is based on Italian cuisine, this 36-seat space adopts a minimalist Japanese style with tatami-style sliding doors and oak walls. Stacks of bright red pizza boxes in the restaurant stand out and juxtapose with the wood-coloured interior.
There is also a counter and semi-open kitchen equipped with the oven imported from Naples.
Choose between the traditional Margherita D.O.P. (S$19.50) made with tomato sauce, buffalo mozzarella, fresh basil, grana padano, and extra virgin olive oil, or go sweet with the Crispy Fried Margherita (S$21) with its dough deep fried and topped with dollops of stracciatella ice cream, dried tomatoes, fresh basil and aged parmigiana.
Other notable mentions include the simple Marinara (S$15.50) spread with their house tomato sauce made with heaps of garlic and sprinkled with Sicilian oregano, basil and more garlic; the Spiniata Calabrese ($19) with spicy salami, fennel seeds and drizzled with Sichuan chilli honey; and the Peperonata (S$18.50) with a medley of flavors from the roasted seasonal peppers, onions and spicy jalapeño and nutty pesto spread.
Desserts include their homemade Pecan Tart (S$13) that are freshly baked every morning and topped with whisky gelato and drizzles of caramel and bourbon sauce. Or go non-alcoholic with the Pistachio Gelato (S$7) made with chopped pistachios and sea salt.
As for drinks, their menu includes all kinds such as wines, bubblies, craft beers and sake blends.
