While I've been looking forward to L'antica Pizzeria Da Michele (#01-08, 8 Club Street), I also reminded myself not to be caught up by what's been written about it. There're two camps of writeups generally on this topic. The first are the hype train who're paid or given free food to do so. The second are the "frogs in the well" that are swept by the hype train attempting to convince the world that they've also had a gastronomical moment worth mentioning. We told ourselves that we'd be our own judges.
Okay tasting fritto di mare. Baby squids, a couple of prawns, white bait and zucchini. Not of fan of thick batter in general. While I cannot put a finger to from whence, I'm getting this feeling that we've had better. Not something I would get again.
Not bad tasting margherita. We topped up with extra cheese for $5. Noted the emphasis placed on the Agerola fior di latte which was pretty good tasting. Loved that the tomatoes weren't too tart. Leopard spots are no longer charming when they transcend beyond the thin boundary into too much burnt parts - which was what we got. It's not bad pizza. Just over priced. Not something I see myself waiting in line for.

That's no leopard spot, that's just burnt crust. :(
