We’ve seen an avalanche of pizza-related news recently – from the opening of Beyond the Dough, to Korea’s Eat Pizza chain launch, and the world’s best pizza chef visiting Singapore last month. Next month, a famous pizzeria from Naples, Italy will be making its Southeast Asia debut in Singapore.
L’antica Pizzeria da Michele has been around since 1870 and is one of the oldest and most popular pizzerias in Naples, drawing in crowds all year round. The pizzeria is listed on the Michelin guide and has even been touted by Gordon Ramsay as a “must-visit for any pizza lover”.
Its original store in Naples is a humble roadside joint with only two items on the menu – pizza marinara and margherita. Fans of the 2010 romcom Eat Pray Love will also remember the classic Hollywood scene where Julia Roberts wolfs down an entire pizza margherita at the store.
L’antica Pizzeria da Michele already has international outposts in the US, UK, Spain and Japan. Come this April, the pizzeria will be opening in Singapore at 8 Club Street. It will be the first pizzeria in Singapore to serve pizza a ruota di carro, also known as wagon wheel pizza. This style of pizza is known for its extra thin and wide dough which stretches across and overflows from the plate. Simple, fresh ingredients are used as toppings – tomato, oregano and garlic for the marinara, and tomato and mozzarella for the margherita.
Further information such as the exact opening date and menu items have yet to be released, so watch this space for updates. In the meantime, follow L’antica Pizzeria da Michele Singapore’s Instagram page for updates.
