Dude, Whereās My Beef? And here it is: the long awaited review of @fernandospizzasg pizzas! As many of you may know, this is the third time Iām penning a critique of their pies, and Iām still plenty pleased with just how excellent their pizza dough is. Itās airy, slightly dense & chewy, and it holds its structural integrity well even after being sauced up. In short, Fernandoās has the ideal base to build a piquant pizza on. +1 for being consistently competent with their dough, but now we must dive into the meat of the matter.ā
ā
Half & half pizzas are the norm these days, and Fernandoās is no different, letting you have the best of both worlds for twenty nine dollars flat. On this particular pie, the Whereās The Beef? and the Luigiās Green Pesto are in a timeshare agreement, and they coexist peacefully despite being rather different. Luigiās Green Pesto is bound to please all the herb heads out there, with a pleasantly pungent basil pesto reinforced by rosemary. The herbs are backed up by the mozzarella & provolone cheese base, as well as the toppings of cherry tomatoes, mushrooms & walnuts for a pretty wholesome pie.ā
ā
Whereās The Beef? sounded pretty promising, with toppings of braised beef, caramelised onions, more mushrooms & red bell peppers. Unfortunately, Fernandoās kinda set themselves up here, as the braised beef was very sparingly applied, and led to us asking āwhereās the beef?ā The flavours were definitely there, itās just a bit of a missed opportunity that the beef wasnāt.ā
ā
While these pies werenāt Fernandoās strongest showing, the next few pizzas were definitely a lot more solid. Thanks for hosting us @fernandospizzasg, and thanks for the invite @burpple!
