So the oddest thing happened at the pizza party last week, we ordered four pizzas along with a bunch of chicken wings & fries from the newly opened @fernandospizzasg. However, the delivery guy pulled a David Copperfield & disappeared, so we called Fernando’s to check what had happened to our pizzas. They apologised for the inconvenience, and immediately started baking a fresh order for us. Long story short, first delivery guy appears out of the ether & delivers our pizzas, and second pizza guy drops off even more pizzas. We basically got a fifty percent discount on these piquant pizzas, and God’s Plan started playing in the background.⠀

Fernando’s square 12x12 inch pies are done in an interesting fusion of Italian & New York style. Light, thin crust with moderately chewy edges just like NY, but the restrained amount of cheese & sauce of the Italian. The big sausage pizza of the night was Mario’s Mushroom Kingdom ($27), a white sauce based pizza loaded with roasted seasonal shrooms, chicken sausages, sautéed shallots & mozzarella. Most shroom pies only have shrooms & cheese on them, so fair play to Fernando’s for making this one a more substantial & satisfying pizza with the delicious chicken sausages. All those savoury & undeniably umami toppings on the thin, slightly chewy yet light pizza crust makes for a majestic medley of pizza perfection.

Head Chef Fernando used to be the pizza maestro at Zazz Pizza, which explains why these pizzas have so much pizzaz to them. All pizza is good pizza, but Fernando’s is sublime.
