Proof Pizza + Wine

APW’s latest addition Proof Pizza + Wine serves up an artisanal array of pizzas and, well, wine. Although a two-storey space, the restaurant is fairly small, exuding an intimate atmosphere. The first floor is shared between the seating area and the kitchen, while the loft upstairs holds a few booths for small groups. The floor-to-ceiling wine shelf commands your view as you walk in, and there are piles of logs scattered around the restaurant – not just as mere props, but actually used to fuel their impressive wood-fire ovens.

Proof’s menu is divided into the classic and gourmet sections. Classic flavours include the Margherita and Diavola (house-blend tomato sauce, chorizo, red onions, chilli flakes and mozzarella); while their gourmet list flaunts a more eclectic combination of ingredients and toppings like black truffle paste, nduja sausage (a spicy, spreadable salami) and Taleggio cheese.

And helping the pizzas in Proof to stand out from the rest of the crowd is their crust; made with dough prepared two days in advance and baked in wood-fire ovens, the crusts are crunchy on the outside and fluffy on the inside – the ideal crust, if you will.

Pair your meal with a glass of wine from their curated list and end the meal on a sweet note with a scoop of Inside Scoop’s ice cream – flavours are seasonal so be sure to ask what they have in store
