This National Day, there's only one place we'd like you to be: in line for a slice of Pezzo's two new local offerings.

Last Friday, I got the chance to sample their Chicken Rendang and Singa Laksa pizza flavours. Being a spice lover, I got uber excited when I heard that the two local flavours that Pezzo was rolling out were clearly flvaours rooted in good ol' Singaporean spice. Where food is concerned, I'm certain there's nothing more satisfying than a heaty spicy kick.
Here's my verdict on the two flavours:
1. Chicken Rendang
While Pezzo did well by evoking nostalgia and a craving for your grandma's home-cooked dishes, this one fell short in terms of spiciness. The familiar rendang spice we've come to know and love wasn't overpowering, but in my opinion, was a little too subtle. In fact, the pizza's redeeming factor was the generous potpourri of red capsicum, green capsicum, white onion and oregano chicken that rested atop each slice. It's a foolproof combination of ingredients; you can't go wrong.
Rating: 3/5
Price: $4.50 per slice / $24.90 per pan
2. Singa Laksa
You know that authentic laksa flavour that's equal parts creamy and spicy? The one that Singaporeans crave in cold/rainy weather, because the warm flush of laksa soup down the throat is enough to warm your soul? Look no further, it's all replicated in this Pezzo slice. To be honest, I was slightly suspicious when I first heard about it, simply because I didn't know how anyone would take on the quintessential Singaporean dish and do justice to it by putting it on an Italian dish... I stand corrected. This medley of crab meat, squid, tuna, prawn and tau pok is pure laksa perfection.
Rating: 4.5/5
Price: $4.90 per slice / $24.90 per pan
