Hybrid Dough Fernandough

What style is our Pizza?

There have been questions about which pizza we are emulating for the Singapore audience. With a single glance, with its square shape and crispier crust, it is obvious we are quite different. Because of its shape, some customers have guessed that it’s a Sicilian Pizza or the Roman al Taglio style.

Wrong.

Chef Fernando has created a signature hybrid dough, where traditional Neapolitan softness meets the satisfying heartiness of a ‘La Nonna’ bake. Our slow fermentation (nearly 72 hours) process creates an exceptionally flavorful crust that offers a satisfying, substantial chew. It’s the perfect canvas for our gourmet toppings, holding every ingredient beautifully while delivering a flavor punch with every bite.

The ‘La Nonna’ bake has the pizza dough spread into the olive oil greased square pan (we use the famous Lloyd’s pans) but with MINAMAL proofing (we do not let the dough rest/ rise), resulting in a much thinner, denser (more chew!) and slightly crispier crust when compared to other Neopolitan pizzas in Singapore today.

Why create Hybrid Pizza Dough?

Chef Fernando decided on this dough for 3 key reasons:

  • Similarity to Neopolitan

    Chef Fernando has more than 30 years of experience making Neapolitan pizzas, and wanted to leverage on this hard-earned expertise and knowledge.

  • A Playground for Innovation

    Using this dough as the foundation of his pizzas, there are no traditions or rules he must follow strictly. He can execute his unique take on them, from paying homage to the classics while inventing his own creations like Fernando’s Special or his highly popular Formaggi Con Burrata Di Parma flavors.

  • Simply Good Pizza

    The hybrid dough is the perfect vehicle to deliver his pizza vision, allowing Chef Fernando to focus on the quality of ingredients and his well-honed technique. Made with love; Accessible to everyone and of course, freaking delicious.

Final Words

So now you know. There are many, many styles of pizzas to be devoured and Singapore is blessed to have many of them in our little Red Dot. If you want that traditional Neopolitan pizza or the thin New York crust, there are quite a few great pizzerias that make a mean rendition of those styles.

However, if you want to try Chef Fernando’s style, look us up. Be careful. This might be your newest addiction.
