if you want to be the best, you need to beat the rest!
and i'm glad to report that newcomer blp has come along and toppled pizzeria mozza as my new go to place for pizza!
yes, they are the BEST at the moment.........
blp is a small intimate setting located along an alleyway off ann siang road, the red neon sign will point you in the right direction.
dinner reservations, especially in bigger groups and on saturdays are recommended, i was glad i did as some walk ins after us had to wait for one.
you could alternatively sit at the bar counter as those are on a first come first serve basis.
but i'm not a fan of their tall, smallish bar stool seats, so i'll secure the bench style sofa seats for my big fat ass to plonk down on.
once you are comfortably settled in, well trained and informatively friendly wait staff will guide you, if it's your first time, or welcome you back if you are a regular.
proper cloth napkins are a big plus for the messy eaters like myself who prefer to handle them piping hot slices the bare way.
a glass of wine or a pint of their blue label draft beer will start you off nicely too.
starters and salads all look worth trying but i settled mostly for the main event, their authenic stone fired pizza.
and if you are a solo diner, one pie is more than enough, especially since the crust, yes the crust is oh so worth devouring!
a tip given to me is to dip in their chilli oil with added salt and then there's no reason any crust would remain.
innovative creations/combinations with clever names, fresh, generous ingredients atop a not overly bready dough that holds it's shape, is the one pie no other pizzeria can hold a candle to.
they have a blue label special pizza which changes depending on the season's offerings.
and they also have a guest chef pizza which changes every quarterly or so.
these do make it into their permanent menu, if the response is favourable.
the ones that i really liked thus far are the travis supreme, which reminded me of eating a big mac, two all beef(in this case ground chuck), special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions on a sesame seed, not buns but dough.
and the in honor of "pepe", countneck clams, garlic and bacon. not sure who pepe is or was but thank you!
this combo marries three of my favourite things!
bam! they gone!
they clearly cater to the vegetarians too and even the green machine pizza sounded appealing to this meat lover!
just like johnnie walker's blue label, this is indeed a premium pizza worth the calories but keep walking, you'll need it after finishing one pie all by yourself!
