Much ado about Pizza
Mar 21, 2010When we learnt of the new branch in Wheelock, we were delighted. Skinny Pizza serves the most interesting kind of pizzas - not the usual ones we are used to eating. The crispy crust, layered with a variety of toppings, complete with fresh rocket salad, is easy on the palate and wallet. One pizza is good for two.
We have gone through all the pizzas on the menu. The top ones on our favourite list are: squid ink pizza, meat balls and pepperoni.
To end on a sweet note, do try the desserts. Slightly on the pricey side (at $7+ per cake), it is worth every cent.

the skinny on Skinny
Feb 26, 2010This will be a pretty zippy review because I've only tried one thing on the menu so far. I don't remember what it was called but it's a 12" Salami-containing pizza ($23) with shaved parmesan, crumbled feta and a heap of rocket on the side.
The salami slices are savory and primarily salty; I get some good notes from this salami that suggest high quality charcuterie. The thin slices don't overwhelm the thin and crackery pizza crust. While the kitchen does not stinge on ingredients, they craft their pizzas with a moderate hand that ensures this prudent balance in textures.
The crumbled feta went rather well with the sausage until the saltiness got the better of me. This isn't a pizza for those without a preference for the savory. But I shared this with a friend and we got through it with no problems. The peppery rocket leaves sit well on the briny cheese and meat and their default option of serving it in a heap instead of scattered over the pizza did make the portioning easier.
The real stunner of the pizza is the sauce! It looks like your average tomato base but there are sweet notes and savory notes and it's altogether very refreshing after the meat and cheese. This is what kept me going back for more pizza even though I wasn't very hungry. I'm not a fan of the thin crust; it differs from the Neapolitan (preferred) in its absolute crackeriness and didn't make it possible for me to eat the pizza with my fingers. I felt very healthy eating pizza with that little refined carbohydrates, though. Yet I thought the cracker crust compromised on taste. I also would not bring my pizza-loving father there because he's most likely to pronounce it too new-fangled and yuppie, which would not be an exaggeration.
Other pizza options sounded largely interesting and diverse, and some combinations are worth a second look. There are quite a few vegetarian options too. The dessert menu was positively drool-worthy, though I cannot profess to having tried anything yet. My sister attests to the quality of the desserts here, though, and after such skinny pizza, I'd say most people go back for the sweet round. The sweet options -- gf and nf ones included -- are definitely worth a second visit (caramelised grapefruit tart, anyone?), if they are a little pricey.I also recommend this place for

Oh, that delish pizza!
Jan 26, 2010Still loving the Sweet Potato Nibblets ($7++)! Not oily and the sprinkle of salt and sugar is just right. Great consistency there.
With heaps of well-marinated tuna chunks, crunchy pistachios, plump port-wine soaked raisins, avocado and herbed roasted tomatoes, Ahi Taki Pizza ($25++) was oh-so-delish! Nothing makes me more happy than chomping down all my favourite toppings in every bite. This is messiness in the best way possible.
Topped with calamari, fresh tomato salsa and onions, the magic with Squid Ink Pizza ($23) lies in the squid ink paste. Briny and umami-rich, it’s perfect with the plain papadum-thin crust!
Lemon Cake ($12++) was a good choice even though it was not the birthday girl’s first choice for desserts since the ones she wanted were unavailable. Be warned that it may too sour if you have a low tolerance level but the tartness was just right for me. Light and zesty, this is a classic with layers of lemon butter cream, moist madeira sponge and lemon curd with a dollop of baked meringue.

Yummy and oh-so-skinny
Jan 10, 2010A casual, relaxed pizza joint located within Wheelock Place, Skinny Pizza really has a lot to offer. The simple chic decor is cheery and and bright. Service is also great - Service staff are fast, polite and always smiling. Our food was served fast too! Recounting:

1. Portabello Mushroom Soup
A healthy and genuine soup with plenty of fragrant portabello mushrooms. Unlike typical soups, it is more hearty than creamy, which is good. The so many small chunks of mushroom give the soup a dark grey hue, also a good chewy texture. Topped with a small piece of crusty bread, this is a soup worth your every penny!
2. Squid Ink Pizza
I admit that I was overwhelmed by the pizza when I first saw it. A black, large, thin cracker-like pizza with heaps of arugula leaves. No points for the messy presentation, but one bite and I was won over!
The squid ink base was fantastic - A taste of the sea. The squid was fresh, sweet and cooked just right! A joy to chew. The small prawns and diced tomatoes complimented the squid well. Best of all, the usually-pungent arugula leaves tasted just perfect with the other ingredients.

Try this if you're game for novel new pizzas! My boyfriend and I found the pizza crust a little too thin for our liking, but aside from that, everything was great. It's healthy too. Gotta try famous truffle fries for my next visit too. :)

Good food, disappointing service
Dec 2, 2009The food was very good - the squid ink pizza was our favourite and the meatball bolognese one wasn't too bad either. The truffle fries were just average, nothing special.
However, the service was appalling! There is no waiting or queue system at all, and one could stand right outside the restaurant for several mins and no one would care about you - except maybe the customers sitting right in front of you. The service staff were disorganised and it took a while to get our menus, orders and cutlery sorted out. In the first place, it took forever to get their attention. Then there turned out to be quite a few items in the menu that were not available and we were only told about it when we wanted to order. The service staff continued to be somewhat preoccupied throughout our meal, making it difficult to get their attention.
It didn't help that there was supposed to be a 20% discount with Standard Chartered cards but they had not sorted out the arrangement with the bank yet for this branch.Must Tries
