Riverside Dining. Pizza, wines, and good service.
This week we hung out with friends and joined them our our favorite restaurant in Singapore. D.O.P. Mozzarella Bar has an amazing menu of unfailingly great food. And owner Luca treats his regulars like family. To be honest, his pizza is the least impressive item on his menu. But, as you’ll see, his pizza is pretty good, too.

We on a two-week-break for business travels. Hasta la vista, pizza babies!
Clair and I live on Robertson Quay. And we’ve known since starting this blog that we live in abundance of great pizza options. But we felt that our objectivity would be compromised if we only ate good pizza. So we hunted for a place that would make a bad pizza. In this respect Saizeriya did not disappoint.
Clair got home late on Thursday after spending some days in Bangkok for work. We were looking forward to catching up over drinks on our balcony, which is our weekend routine. By the time we got around to dinner it was pretty darn late.
We decided to head for PS Cafe on Martin Road. Its alfresco seating sits right by the road with lush planters separating public pavement and the restaurant. We prefer to sit outside in the warm Singapore air. But PS Cafe’s outdoor seating closes by 10pm so we headed indoors instead.
As we waited for someone to take our orders, many of the waiters walked past our table but never once looked up or even acknowledged us with a nod. We waited for a while then Scott ordered a winter salami pizza, and Clair a fennel sausage.
Tonight we hosted Clair’s parents visiting us from Malaysia. Many years ago their family agreed that Clair’s dad would never eat tomatoes. Scott always had his suspicions. Pizza is, after all, a culturally universal food. And, sure enough, once a fantastic pizza passed Clair’s father’s lips he was a convert. I don’t think that Rosso Vino would have been able to convert him. Let’s get into that.
Pizza Art is our go-to restaurant for never-fail delicious pizza. It is located in an unassuming riverside storefront just west of the Pulau Saigon Bridge (Saiboo St.) Although its address is properly Rodyk St., its a pleasant three minute walk from the Robertson Quay taxi drop-off next to the Intercontinental Hotel.
This past weekend Clair ordered the Diavola and Clair ordered the Parma & Rucola.
