Roberta's Pizza @ Marina Bay Sands, Singapore

From Brooklyn to the (Marina) Bay...

I'd never been to the original Roberta's Pizza in Brooklyn, but I had heard the lore: it's supposed to be one of Beyonce's favourite pizza places, and has been awarded a Michelin (USA) Bib Gourmand. So, initially when they opened in Singapore back in 2022, with all that and being it's first branch outside of the USA, the lines to get in were a little offputting.

 
There wasn't too much of a way around it at the time, for the peak hours, and weekends, as they did not take reservations (and still do not). 

I waited a bit for the newness to die down before I headed over to try it out, and have been eating there on and off ever since. They have really perfected their process, taking almost no time at all to prepare pizzas, so wait times have become almost negligible (unless you are unlucky enough to go there at a rare, super peak time where patrons sit around and chat or hang out for very long).

I'm still a little sore that with the last tweak of their menu, they removed their decadent, flavor bomb of an oxtail stew (R.I.P.), but we still keep returning for their:
- Meatballs (SGD 16++): large beef and pork meatballs, so tender and juicy, served with a piquant amatriciana sauce and topped with sharp, flavourful parmigiano
- House bread (SGD 9++): Served with Cultured butter, or Honey brown butter. It's just bread, but it's really not "just bread". Instead it is a combination of quality ingredients, and years of honed skill, that has no right being this darn delicious. It's moist and flavorful inside, with the perfect balance of chewiness, encased in a light, crispy and smokey crust.

My favourite house bread....

As for their pizzas, they have a limited range but all that we have tried so far are delicious. The crust is exactly what I like - moist but with enough crispiness and chewiness, with some smokiness from the wood fire oven. Our favourites for now are:
- MILLENNIUM FALCON Pizza (SGD 30++): tomato base, topped with parmigiano, pork sausage, basil, garlic, red onion, chili,black pepper & breadcrumbs, and
- BEE STING Pizza (SGD 30++): tomato base, with mozzarella, basil, spicy calabrese salami, chili & honey.

 
While they have a small selection of mocktails, cocktails, beer and wine, they have no desserts. So, if you insist, you can only choose something liquid to end the night with.

Oops..

So, it's: Relatively affordable (considering it's location in MBS) with delicious pizza and to die for house bread in a funky casual setting, BUT no desserts :(....
