Been scrolling around social media and found that there seems to be some talk going around a new pizzeria that had opened its doors at Orchard Central — bad habits. has just moved into the shop unit that is situated right beside the outlet of Molly Tea there, taking over the former premises of the now-defunct outlet of Aburi-En there. For those whom have yet to hear about bad habits. previously, these folks had been in the local F&B scene for quite a while operating a space at Mohammed Sultan Road — these folks are perhaps best known for serving up New York-style pizza there with a dining area that is located right by the alleyway situated outside of the establishment. Their Orchard Central outlet is their very first location situated within a shopping mall — the location features a very clean design that is modern yet with retro touches; simple yet befitting for a New York-style pizza parlour without being particularly dated. Dine-in seating is limited to a communal bench that sits in the middle of the aisle leading towards the store; the food menu at bad habits. comprises of pizzas served by the slice or in an entire pie. Beverages available at bad habits. at its Orchard Central outlet is split into sections dedicated to Coffee and Tea / Ferments.

We were being told by the folks at bad habits. at their Orchard Central outlet that the pizzas offered here largely comprises of flavour variations that are permanently available — there is however one (1) seasonal flavour that is available for a limited time basis. The Mushroom Kale is one of the flavours that is permanently available on the menu at bad habits.’s location at Orchard Central — whilst the menu does not describe the elements included in the pizza, it could be observed from our order that the pizza slice does come with a tomato-based sauce, kale and Shimeiji mushrooms; the Mushroom Kale is also listed as a vegan-friendly option to go for here. Whilst vegan-friendly pizza offerings can get pretty much underwhelming at times, the Mushroom Kale at bad habits. is the one to go for if one craves for a lighter pizza on the palate here. The star here is undeniably the crust; whilst the crust is done pretty thinly, there is no doubt that the crust remains absolutely crisp without having become all soggy from all of the elements that come above it — the edges also carried the same crisp consistency whilst being light and airy with a bit of chew. The tomato-based sauce adds a tang, while the kale does add a crisp bite; the Shimeiji mushrooms giving an earthiness and a slighty bouncy texture for some contrast.
