I’m not gonna lie to you, even though I enjoyed @picolino.sg pizzas, I felt that they were holding back badly on every single pizza, and those vibes were transmitted through these otherwise piquant pizzas. I savoured the flavours that were on display with all the pizzas, but other than the brilliant burrata pizza, every pizza felt like it left me hanging.⠀
⠀
The best example of this obscure concept would be the Lamb Merguez ($29++ a pie). I always enjoy ordering lamb at restaurants purely to test the skills of the chef, and Picolino’s chefs certainly had the skills to pay the bills. I kid you not (pun partially intended), there was next to no trace of the hallmark gaminess of lamb in this pizza. Each little mound of Mary’s little lamb was so juicy, tasty & free from any gamey odours that anyone would’ve confused it for pork or even chicken.⠀
⠀
However, there was a distressing dearth of lamb that nobody would ever get to fully savour the utter brilliance of it. Additionally, there was supposed to be babaganoush somewhere in the pizza, but it was virtually invisible. Same goes for the appealing sounding cucumber tzatziki, which I was excited for, but it went virtually anonymous.⠀

Despite almost every pizza making me feel like Picolino was holding back, I can’t complain too much due to the sheer value that #burpplebeyond one-for-one deals brings to the table. A pizza for fourteen bucks before tax & service charge? That’s mad decent no matter which way you cut it.⠀

Thank you for having us, @picolino.sg & @burpple!
