The nexus of nightlife activities in the early noughties, Jalan Doraisamy aka The Row lay derelict for years before undergoing rapid gentrification. One of the new kids on the block, Heritage Pizza is fast providing healthy competition to Pizzeria Dihyang parked no more than 100m away.
With exactly nine pizzas (not including one dessert pizza) and six supplementary toppings on their menu, Heritage Pizza allows regulars to experiment with endless permutations. It's interesting to note that for the first time in our lives, toppings—one in particular—take precedence over pizza flavours; a recognisable starlet in #foodporn, burrata can be served on the side or smack in the centre of your pizza.
Something must also be said for the service team's savvy familiarity with the menu. Not only did they school us on the subtleties of bresaola and culatello, but we also learned the proper pronunciation for 'nduja (ahn-doo-ja).
