Since New York Style Pizza opened in The Summit last year, it’s been vying for the title of top pie in town. Its thin-crust Big Apple-style pizzas are fresh and good value for the money, so can its second joint at iStation continue to deliver the quality we’ve come to expect?
The Food
In order to sample a range of items on offer, we ordered a bunch of individual slices (RMB19 each) instead of the whole pie. Crispy and tasty even after being reheated in the oven, the topping-to-crust ratio was generous, with the overload of meat on the Porko slice being a particular standout. Where the slices come into their own is as part of the good-value lunch specials (starts from RMB26) that offer various combinations of pizza slices, sides and a soft drink.
Sides are also available separately for RMB29 each. Crispy mozzarella cheese sticks are accompanied by a subtle tomato sauce that tasted bland at first bite, but actually served as a fresh counterbalance to the sticks themselves. Elsewhere, the sweet potato fries were crunchy but lacked seasoning, while a strawberry milkshake (RMB28) fell flat on flavors, too.
Rounding things off, the chocolate brownie with vanilla ice cream (RMB25) was rich, but not overly sweet, and was large enough to be shared between two people.
The Vibe
The loft-style restaurant takes up a small space above iStation shopping mall, in front of the Arts and Culture Centre. It feels a bit out of the way, but could be a decent place for a quick pre-show meal. While the food on offer is not outstanding, it is still a reliable place for pizza. And, of course, you can always enjoy the pies from the comfort of your home by ordering delivery via their WeChat account.
