The Pizza Bar on 38th Pop-up
For a limited time only, The Pizza Bar on 38th, voted Asia’s Pacific best pizzeria, will be coming to Singapore to offer its pizza omakase experience. The celebrated Tokyo pizzeria has earned a litany of awards, from ranking within the top five spots of ‘50 Top Pizza Asia Pacific’ for three years in a row since 2022, to being listed on the Michelin Guide Tokyo in 2022 and 2023. It’s also notorious for its three-month-long reservation waitlist. From October 24 to 31 (excluding October 28), master pizzaiolo Daniele Cason will personally serve his signature pizzas at Mandarin Oriental Singapore. The pop-up will take on a chef’s table format, where customers are seated at a counter and served individual pizza slices fresh from the brick oven. This is reminiscent of the original outlet in Mandarin Oriental Tokyo which seats just eight diners at a time, making for an intimate yet indulgent experience. A series of different pizzas are then baked and cut into eight, allowing diners to savour a slice of each flavour. At the pop-up, you can either opt for the eight-course lunch menu ($168 per person) or the nine-course dinner menu ($198 per person), inclusive of dessert. No matter which option you choose, you’ll be sure to get a taste of the famed ‘Bufala’, a simple and traditional staple that sees fresh buffalo mozzarella, tomato, and basil, atop a perfectly baked pizza crust. Other pizza flavours on both menus include marinara, mascarpone and black olives, cauliflower, porcini, and
