The work peeps wanted a place to unwind and binge so Peperoni came to mind...for their larger than life pizzas...21 inches, holy moley! Fairly packed for a weekday night, reservations are encouraged.
Open concept takeaway counter..
Wall of artwork..
Passe crayons for doodling.
Deep fried squid rings; lemon and mayo, arrabiata sauce ($14)
The fragrance was so fetching...I would have reached for one and hecked the pimple outbreak. The companions loved it to bits.
Panfried mozzarella wrapped with parma ham ($18)
Three roll ups and that was it. I eyed the pricey rolls surreptitiously and with a raised eyebrow.
Sinking the pearlies into them had to be the most anticipated moment of the meal..crispy parma ham meats melted mozzarella. Food porn, truly. Parma ham panfried tastes really like bacon...which made it such a waste..but well sin at its max..absolutely faultless.
Fried Portobello with chicken and red wine ($18)
After the bread crumbs and frying, the portobello mushroom swelled to such greatness...it resembled a kidney pie. I L.O.V.E. Portobello...even more so when it's fried!
Mushrooms never tasted this good till portobello...yummeh! It was a nice balance with the mildly flavoured chicken slivers.
Chicken Wings ($8)
Ordered this to accompany the glasses of Hoegaarden, simply pub grub.
Pancetta
Pancetta, diced tomato and soft egg
The soft egg inked the choice for pizza flavour.
Prosciutto and Funghi
Ham and mushroom
Of the two, pancetta was a hotter flavour favourite. My main grouse about Pepperoni's large pizzas is the center tends to get soggy, unavoidably. Unless you are a fan of soft bread bases...I would suggest ordering the not so novel small sized pizzas. Their pizza base comprises of thin dough, crispy on the outside and chewy if not soggy inside.
XXL ($50)
Creme Brulee ($9)
Took two attempts to get it right, the first arrived overcooked with a curd so stiff...it was stiffer than old soyabeancurd. The second was just perfect, velvety smooth.
Frangipane ($12)
Warm almond cake with raspberry sauce served with vanilla ice cream
The bestest for the night! I was expecting warm almond cake to have the same texture as suggee cake yet this was really goood! Buttery and soft almond cake with a fragrance so irresistible,
Panna Cotta ($9)
Not the bestest attempted but this was decent.
Tiramisu ($11)
Another decent but that was it.
Service at Peperoni is warm and helpful..another of the casual pizza joints that fills up quite quickly into the night. Unless for novelty of huge ass pizzas, I am satisfied with Al Forno a stone's throw away from the house!
