Sonny’s
Singapore-based Sonny’s Pizza has opened its first international location in the heart of Soho, on Elgin Street. The store operates as a takeaway shop, and its New York-style pizza can be ordered as a full pie (with 12-inch or 16-inch pies available) or by the slice, starting from around $40 per slice.

Aria
With panoramic views of Hong Kong’s iconic skyline, this is not your run-of-the-mill pizza experience.

La Camionetta
These Roman-style pizzas stand out with their fresh ingredients and crispy bases. The location in Soho is extremely popular, and with only walk-ins accepted it is best to arrive a little before (or after) usual dining times. A relatively new feature on their menu is La Bomba, with a tomato base, fior di latte, Spanish chorizo, bell peppers, red onions, olives, chilli, and basil. Mille grazie to these legends!

Falcone
Indulge in authentic Neapolitan pizza baked in a custom-made Pavesi brick oven. What sets Falcone apart is that the pizzas are baked at a lower temperature for longer, making the bases firmer and the crust even crunchier. The Pacchianella is seriously scrumptious, and not something you are likely to find elsewhere. This pizza is fried and baked in its own oil, and topped with a tomato sauce, salami, fior di latte, and basil. Watch out fried chicken, this pizza is finger licking good!
