Santi's Pizza

[TELOK AYER, SINGAPORE] @santis.sg serves up Italian fare with interesting twists in a casual yet intimate setting that is great for group catch ups and date nights. Interestingly, we came for pizzas but stayed for their pastas as the latter were much better.

We ordered the Pesto Cream Stracciatella Pasta 🌿 ($22) as I'm a sucker for pesto 🤣 and it delivered WELL. You get a strong punch of the basil aromatics, followed by a nice savoury flavour that it's too overpowering. The cheese makes it rich yet somehow light at the same time, and I totally can finish this by myself. Pastas are made fresh weekly, and you can tell by the nice al dente mouth feel.

The Vodka Sugo & Italian Sausage Pasta 🌭 ($24) was another delight to have. The light touch of vodka balanced the cream used, making this a much lighter pasta to have. Minced sausages added a meaty and smoky touch that puts the flavour savoury forward. Absolutely lovely.

The pizzas we ordered unfortunately did not deliver the punch we wanted it to 🥲 indeed the sourdough crust was chewy and smoky, but the ingredients on top doesn't seem to match well. The Pepperoni & Hot Honey 🍕 ($30) was way too sweet, Butter Chicken 🍗 ($28) and Not so Classic Margherita 🍅 ($24) was not flavourful enough somehow. We managed to add flavour through the homemade chilli garlic oil provided though!

With 20% discounted cash vouchers on Chope, I think it is worth it to come back for their pastas! I've heard that their sides are good as well, so will try more of that next time 😃

Loved the pizza here, tried a more conventional pepperoni pizza. Also ordered a pumpkin risotto which was ok
With 30% off we paid $48.20 for one pizza and one pasta and was very filling.

Overall bready yet soft sourdough crusts, with their specialty crispy chili oil to pair with on the side if you prefer (not the best though).

The downside is that we were there during happy hour but we weren’t allowed to use both burpple and happy hour discounts. We sat inside which was a bit humid on the evening that we went. Staff were very nice despite it being a busier night. Paid $28 (including GST and service charge) for 2 pizzas, so it was very worth with the burpple discount!

Not so classic marg ($24)
Loved the buffalo mozzarella!

Almighty cheese ($24)
There was goat cheese as part of it and with nice crispy bits on the top to add more texture. Drizzled with hot honey (I think it’s meant to be hot as in spicy but it wasn’t that spicy). I personally love the savoury and sweet combo.

Quite a unique combi and while the butter chicken couldn't replicate the creamy goodness of the authentic ones, it still passed muster. Loved the addition of the pickled onions as well, giving every bite a nice crunch and a slight tang.

A medley of colourful veges adorned over a beautiful tomato sauce atop a delicious sourdough base. Think semi-dried tomatoes, huge black olives, slices of grilled eggplant and zucchini, slivers of mushrooms and bell peppers and artichokes. Lovely variety and all coming together so well. The accompanying chilli oil was pure goodness as well - drizzle it onto your pizza and also the crust for an added oomph.

We ordered two pizza - one red and one white:
1. Avocado & Coppa pizza
I loved the crust and bread base of the pizza. I don’t really taste any avocado but I also enjoyed this pizza very much.

The portion is quite huge. I think 2 pizzas can feed 3-4 ppl.
I think the pizzas are of good quality and would come again.

We also tried the Honey&lemon with soda homemade spritz. It tastes a little like kombucha.
