What it is: Traditional Neapolitan pizzeria that has earned international recognition for following Associazione Verace Pizza Napoletana guidelines.
Why do we love it: The decor blends Italian elements with Phuket touches, creating casual elegance. Their secret lies in 24-hour fermented dough using high-quality Caputo flour to produce a chewy, crispy-topped crust that's gloriously messy. The crust is oily, leaving your hands dirty and ready to stain your brand new shirt with little compassion. The signature la peppina (B360) is a classic margherita dream with creamy buffalo mozzarella and sweet piennolo tomatoes. But the asparagus coppa di testa (B360) steals the show. The unexpected raw and finely sliced asparagus adds a refreshing crunch, brightened by a light vinaigrette dressing – savoury, tangy and flavourful. Save room for tiramisu.
Time Out tip: Book ahead as Peppina is the hottest ticket since opening in My Front Yard Community Mall. Request the VIP table facing the open kitchen for front-row pizza-making theatre.
