Fernando's New York Slices, Margaret Market

Fernando's New York Slices, Margaret Market

Fernando's New York Slices (#01-09 Margaret Market, 38 Margaret Drive, tel : +65 8428 8846) is by a Hiran Fernando, former chief pie architect of the defunct Zazz Pizza - our go to place for Neopolitan styled pizza. When it was still around that is. 

It's New York pizza with this new shop according to them. Debatable whether or not it is truly NY styled and I'm sure there be many opinions on it. Will not be spending my two cents on that here. Their unit is just next door to The Homme Baker.

Ham and cheese fritters - not bad. Nice crunch on the outside with hot gooey cheese, some ham and basil.

Pretty decent lasagne. There's a nice beefiness to the tomato sauce in it. Wished there were more meat though.

Fernando's New York Slices, hawaiian cheese it up

That's a half Hawaiian and half four cheese. Seems like it's the same kind of pineapples that they used previously at Zazz. This looked to be a Sicilian styled pizza with a crust that was thinner. Like how it was at Zazz, the crust wasn't heavy and pretty good eating.

Left's Carbo Duo which featured rosemary, cauliflower, potatoes and ham amongst a couple of other toppings. Not bad tasting as well. Right's their Prince Roni which I'm guessing is their paler shade of the Prince Street Pizza from NYC. There's hot honey on the table which pretty much worked with all their pies we've had so far.

Fernando's New York Slices personally wasn't as impressive as first impressions went compared to Zazz Pizza. But then again, I'm fond of the Neapolitan style and could be biased. I did like it enough to consider coming back though.

  1. Hi, thanks for your review of our pizzeria and for being a fan of Chef Fernando.

    Our style is actually a lesser-known NY-style called Grandma Slice (from Long Island). Like Sicilian but with less dough proofing.

    Do reach out to us if you have any other feedback and looking forward to your future visits.

    Our style of pizza is actually a lesser-known NY-style; the Grandma Slice from Long Island. We felt this style has its merits (thinner, crispy, has a good chew) to showcase the various flavors we have to offer.

    Looking forward to serving you again.
