The Long Weekend Pizza

There’s no shortage of places to get good pizza in Singapore. Just from the snaking queues at the newly-opened Casa Vostra in Raffles City, it’s clear that everyone loves a good Italian pie. Skip the line and support local instead at The Long Weekend Pizza, a humble, wood-fired, weekend-only pizzeria. The coolest part? This home-based business bakes its fresh pizzas right at the gates of a house along Saint Patrick’s Road – rather similar to Kopi Khoo’s modus operandi. Despite having only seven options on its menu, The Long Weekend Pizza has a loyal fan base, with pre-orders occasionally closing due to its overwhelming popularity. This affordable pizza made from within the community is simple but well done, with each 12-inch pie serving one to two people. Carnivores must try the bestseller, Meat Mania ($23), which is topped with ground beef, sausages, and pepperoni with bacon. The Long Weekend also offers meatless options, like classic Margherita ($17), veggie-packed Ratatouille ($20), and Mushroom and Truffle Oil ($20). The latter is a fan-favourite for its pungent truffle aroma and comes on a cream base instead of tomato. Whatever the flavour, you’ll be getting a pizza that’s perfectly charred and dotted with leopard spots distinctive of good pizza. Though there isn’t a dining area, you’ll want to try a fresh slice – its charred crust comes with a tender bite that you must savour while its hot.To place an order, just send it via Whatsapp to +65 8913 0331 in the week, and collect it on the weekend.
