The handmade pizza game has been pretty strong lately across the island considering the many establishments dedicated in serving up hand-stretched pizza has sprouted up across the island of the late — this ranges from eateries dedicated to the craft, to hawker stalls that serve up pizzas that are made from scratch at wallet-friendly prices. The folks at Brawn & Brains Coffee had been experimenting quite a fair bit recently with the opening of their Hamilton Road location; spotted their new pizza offerings — a Magherita Pizza 12” and a Marinara Pizza 12” that had appeared in their digital menu over a visit on the weekend.
Being a 12” pizza that is sliced into eight (8) slices, the Marinara Pizza 12” does seem like a pizza that well be vegetarian-friendly; the pizza does seem to feature a tomato sauce, tomatoes, red radish slices and some greens. All these seemed to be topped above their very own hand-stretched pizza dough as well; there is also that small potion of cheese powder and chili powder that is served on the side should patrons prefer have their pizza with them. Having tried a couple of pizzas within the past few weeks, Brawn & Brains Coffee’s pizza does seem to come with a pizza crust that is thinner than most that we have tried of the late; this creates a rather easy to eat pizza considering how it felt considerable light without all that carb-iness that usually goes on with pizzas. That being said, we would reckon how some wouldn’t find the crust to their liking given the way it does seem to soak up quite a bit of what is going on over the top — found it to be a bit on the soggy side. Still, the Marinara Pizza 12” was really satisfying otherwise; it’s that simple pizza without all that fuss — red sauce that’s admittedly quite refreshing with nibs of tomato for an additional burst of tanginess that further adds on to the sauce. Yet another simple yet satiating offering from the folks by Brawn & Brains — would recommend sharing this between one other or two others to enjoy it at its best; worth checking out for those who are into handmade pizzas prepared with love, passion and dedication.
