I walked past Ziti’s on Sunday (on the way to another restaurant… so many good places if you spend a little time exploring that area) and it looked interesting.

Will definitely check it out. It’s about 5 minutes walk from Tin Hau MTR (if you get out in Causeway Bay, it’ll take you 15 mins +)

I’ve always complained about the poor quality of pizza in Hong Kong. When Alfonso opened Paisanos in SK, I became a regular customer immediately. The only way he wont become a success in SK and even further afield if is he steps back from directly running his business and lets someone else run it, while he counts his dough. But I dont think that will happen, the man has a genuine pride in his work and wants it done right, hands on and with standards.

The idea of restaurant concepts vs family businesses – with reputations to keep up – is a fascinating one and I’m glad you mentioned it.

Glad I stumbled accross this site.

I second the vote for Ziti’s. It’s the best I’ve found out here.

Was in Soho, but didn’t get Lombardi’s b/c of the long line. But even average pie in NY is better than here.

Will look out for NYPD in May.

In HK, the closest thing you will find to a real greasy, salty, thin as cardboard pizza from NY is not in HK… It’s actually in Shenzhen and the joint is called NYPD….

e-ting: NY Pizza is famous worldwide…who’s talking about pizza or water from NZ? Might as well be talking about water from Antarctica. Pipes?!!!…stop hitting the pipe…educate yourself before you add your two cents on the taste and quality of the water from NYC.

Most pizza from NY is not brick oven. The “average” (as opposed to marquee Ray’s, Lombardi’s…etc..) walk-in pizza shop, whether it’s Pizza Town in the city or Avellino’s in Queens or a slice from Coney Island in Brooklyn…in general, just tastes better and has a better texture than gourmet pizza in other places. That’s what makes it a taste of New York…and we’re only talking about regular slices…we haven’t even gotten into talking about a NY Sicilian style…but that’s another topic altogether, like water from NZ.

Give Ziti’s Homemade Pizza & Catering a try, 110 Tung Lo Wan Road, G/F, Causeway Bay. Been there a couple of times, down-home, thin base, no fuss pizza.
