A new kind of crust is taking over Singapore’s food scene—airy, golden, and so light you could almost call it a cloud.
From the birthplace of pizza itself, Naples, comes Vincenzo Capuano, the globally celebrated pizzaiolo and 2022 World Champion of Contemporary Pizza. And this May, he’s chosen Robertson Quay as the first Asian outpost for his globally acclaimed pizzeria brand.
With over 30 stores in Europe and the Middle East and a social media following topping 1 million fans, Capuano’s arrival in Singapore isn’t just another pizza launch—it’s a slice of living culinary heritage, served with scissors.
Chef Vincenzo Capuano is no ordinary pizza maker. A fourth-generation pizzaiolo, Capuano was raised in a family where dough was sacred, mentored by both his father and grandfather in the art of Neapolitan tradition. His approach to contemporary pizza blends that legacy with innovation: a focus on long-fermentation, highly hydrated doughs and toppings that showcase the best of southern Italian produce.
But how do you know if your pizza is Capuano-quality? Simple—he gives you a golden pair of scissors to test them. The signature move at his restaurants is to snip through the pizza yourself. If the crust resists gently while maintaining that light, pillowy bite, you’re in the presence of pizza royalty.
Set against the cosmopolitan backdrop of Robertson Quay, the Singapore outlet reflects Capuano’s ethos—relaxed yet exacting. With exposed brick, warm wood, and a lively open kitchen, it’s part rustic trattoria, part modern pizzeria, and entirely inviting.
The golden scissors aren’t the only Instagrammable element. Each pizza arrives on a round wooden board with a charred yet soft cornicione (the pizza crust, for the uninitiated) and toppings arranged like edible artwork.
Capuano’s menu in Singapore is nothing short of a celebration of Italian ingenuity. His World Champion Pizza—the Provola E Pepe (S$28++)—is a must-try. Crowned at the 19th Pizza World Championship, it combines smoked provola, hand-crushed San Marzano tomatoes, roasted cherry tomatoes, and a zesty pepper blend for a mouthwatering bite that’s smoky, sweet, and savory all at once.
Other scene-stealers include:
– Don Vincenzo (S$28++): Ricotta-stuffed crust, yellow cherry tomatoes, buffalo mozzarella, pecorino flakes, and almonds.
– Don Egidio (S$28++): Zucchini cream base, zucchini chips, handmade meatballs, and a glorious ball of burrata.
– Tetti Illuminati (S$28++): Mortadella and pistachio cream, balancing crunch with creamy decadence.
– Detto Fatto (S$28++): A purple potato and pancetta dream that’s as striking visually as it is on the palate.
If you’re a traditionalist, Capuano has you covered with perfected renditions of classics like Margherita (S$22++), Bufala A Filetto (S$28++), and Napoli (S$28++) with anchovies and olives. For the spice-inclined, the Diavolo Alla Nonno Enzo (S$30++) serves up fiery Neapolitan salami just the way his grandfather liked it.
Pizza may be the star, but don’t overlook the frittatina (S$12++)—a deep-fried ball of pasta, bechamel, and cheese—or the indulgent Lasagna Al Forno (S$28++), with layers of beef ragu and béchamel. There’s a bounty of fresh, playful salads too: Cavolo (S$24++), a kale and apple ensemble in ginger tofu dressing, and Positano (S$36++), with burrata, prosciutto, and a vibrant basil pesto.
And yes, there’s dessert. The Tiramisu All’Amaretto (S$17++) doesn’t hold back with crushed pistachios and a hit of amaretto. Try the Panna Cotta Marmellata Di Fichi (S$15++) with house-made fig jam and fresh berries for something brighter.
Capuano’s opening is more than just an addition to Singapore’s restaurant lineup—it’s a lifestyle moment. At a time when diners are seeking both authenticity and elevated comfort food, this brand delivers both. Whether you’re a loyal Naples devotee or just someone who loves a good crust, Capuano’s Robertson Quay pizzeria invites you to sit back, slice in, and savour the very best of Italian craft.
Vincenzo Capuano is located at 80 Mohamed Sultan Rd, #01-12 The Pier@Robertson, Singapore 239013.
