Pepperoni Pizzeria (Greenwood)

Another family dinner, and italian. Have passed by this quiet little eatery a few times but never got around to trying it until today. On a Monday night, we arrived at 7:30pm with no reservations and there were no tables. Argh. Fortunately, a table of 4 left early and we were quickly seated, otherwise we would have needed to sit at the bar area, in a straight row of 5 chairs. Sounds so silly for a family dinner. I didnt expect it to be so crowded to be honest, especially not a Mon night.

Chicken wings ($8) - came in a nice small basket, fresh from the fryer, and quite a tasty light marinade although I'm not sure what was it. But the crunch didnt quite remain when left out for a bit.

Garlic bread ($5) - 4 slices of lightly buttered bread with a hint of garlic. Nice but not excellent.

Wedges ($8) - Nice crunch and not oily.

Family XXL size pizza ($50) - my ambitious dad ordered this humongous thing which we struggled to finish. You can choose 2 flavours if you oder this size: we picked Margherita (Mozzarella “di bufala”, tomatoes, basil & oregano) and some chicken and red onions thingy. The crust was one of the best I ever had, with some ends of it really biscuit-like. The margherita was good although a bit plain for some, and the chicken went very well with the red onions. To minimize sloppiness, the huge thing is cut into squares instead of the usual triangles which I thought was quite smart of them. It could have easily fed 7-8 people too (we had 5).

Water was refilled quickly and service was smiley, efficient, and really quite good. We were seated right at the door and yet didnt feel any accidental bumps which always happen at other places when you get the wrong table. Excellent pricing too.

For a nice bustle and yet excellent pizza, this is definitely one of the places I would recommend. And I just found out that they're under Les Amis. Well done!
