Actually, I’d also been wanting to try out Domino’s, but alas…

“I’m sorry, ma’am, your address is out of our delivery radius”.

Aww, shucks. Oh well, that just means falling back on our regular pizza delivery service: Rite Pizza.

Hawaiian pizza, 10" regular

So far, of the numerous pizza delivery services in Singapore, we’ve found Rite Pizza to be pretty decent.

The crust is not too thick nor too thin.

They have two kinds of crust – hand-tossed or thin crust. Usually, we go for “hand-tossed” as we find the “thin crust” too crispy and biscuit-like. The “hand-tossed” dough is fairly soft and chewy, and the thickness is about just right.

Pepperoni pizza, 10" regular.

Rich and hearty, I like their tomato sauce, too. Also, they are quite generous with the toppings, especially for the premium range (chicken, beef, seafood). This time, we ordered from the Rite Savers range for a change.

Peppery pepperoni = nice kick.

Mmm, not bad, but I remember the premium range as being more shiok (psst, Summer Choice and Autumn Classic are worth checking out). Not so much toppings and mozarella this time, and the dough seemed a tad drier than usual. But overall, still better than 62-35-35-35, IMHO!

Do the "rite" thing!

Prices start from S$21.00 for two 10-inch regular pizzas. Prices listed are nett, so no GST to inflate the bill, but I’m not sure if ERP charges are absorbed. For the full menu, check out their website. Details as follows:

But, there are days when one is too lazy to cook or go buy take-out in the blazing midday sun. And one can also tire of chicken rice, if consumed too often, delicious though it may be.

The pizzas from Canadian Pizza took 1 hour and 7 minutes to arrive, even though the operator had said delivery would take between 45 minutes to an hour. As a result, the pizzas were barely warm. A quick zap in the microwave did the trick. I like my pizzas piping hot.

Canadian Classic, regular 10".

Here’s exhibit A the first pizza: the Canadian Classic.       

Smoked turkey bacon, beef pepperoni, mushrooms, fresh tomatoes, and onions.

This was a safe but boring choice. Couldn’t really pick out the distinction between the bacon and pepperoni. They were skimpy on the tomato sauce; would have tasted better with more. The sauce was also lacking in robustness.

Here’s a closer view if you’re interested in further scrutiny.

Tandoori Chicken, regular 10".

Here’s exhibit B the second pizza: the Tandoori Chicken.

Spiced tandoori chicken, onions, mushrooms, and fresh tomatoes.

This had sounded interesting, and I wasn’t disappointed. The tandoori chicken was mildly spicy and quite tender. It was nicely complemented by the sweet onion.

I thought the mushrooms were out of place here. Green peppers would have been a good substitute. Otherwise, they could have upped the amount of onion and tomatoes; I could barely make the veggies out.

Overall, the pizzas were passable. The amount of toppings was fairly generous, but not as much as that of Rite Pizza’s. One grouse I have is that the ingredients were too chunkily cut; perhaps that’s why the distribution of the toppings wasn’t as even as it should have been.

The pizza dough, though soft and quite light, was a little too thick for my liking. Pizza Hut has the same phenomenon. This is one of the reasons I don’t enjoy delivery pizza. The dough is too much like bread.

In terms of value, Canadian Pizza beats Pizza Hut hands down. The latter’s 12″ pizza is SGD$24.90 pre-GST (for the Supremes range), whereas Canadian Pizza’s 12″ pizza is SGD$28.90 nett, but you get two pizzas, making them SGD$14.45 each.

Canadian Pizza is moderately decent. However, if Rite Pizza is still as good as I remember, they’d be my first choice.

Total bill for two regular 10″ pizzas was SGD$21.90 nett.
