Pizz@ at Citrine Hub, Sunway Iskandar

 

With a name like Pizz@, you may think the main item on the menu in this family-friendly café, must be pizza. Yes, there is a range of pizza and pasta to pick from but there is also a menu with appetizers and daily specials to drinks and desserts to make this café a popular dining destination in Sunway Iskandar.

Sunway Iskandar, Johor Bahru

Anchored by Jaya Grocer Sunway Citrine on the ground level of the Citrine Hub, this mall has a few restaurants and cafés that serve a diverse range of cuisine to meet the tastes of residents in this neighbourhood and beyond.

 

Opened since 2018, Pizz bravely weathered the uncertain years with resilience during the global pandemic and subsequent lockdown periods.

 

And with the support of regulars who ordered deliveries and takeaways, Pizz continued to provide diners with their desired food while staying home to stay safe. [Ahem! I was among those who did not miss getting a taste of my favourites from their menu.]

 

A serving of Tempura Broccoli
with a side of garlic dip

I appreciate the welcoming vibe in this contemporary café where the proprietress, personally leads the serving team by example. I observed that Arica and her team were often chatting with diners and on special occasions like a birthday, they would serve a complimentary dessert and sing their wishes in a Birthday song.

 

From Monday to Friday, regulars at this café may enjoy Daily Deals of five different items on the menu on each weekday at a special discount.

Business Lunch and Executive
Set Lunch [Background]

Pizz also serves a Premium Business Lunch and Executive Set Lunch that comes with a serving of soup, main course and tea, daily from 11.30am to 3.30pm.

 

Recently when my friends and I met for a meal, I introduced them to Pizz and was pleased that everyone approved of my choice of food at this dining destination.

 

I must confess that since my first taste of Tempura Broccoli served with a garlic dip and Tempura Cauliflower with a wasabi-mayo dip, these veg lite-bites have become a firm favorite and a must-have at each visit or takeaway.

 

The Premium Business Lunch comprises a serving of soup and main course of slow-cooked beef rump swimming in beef jus on a bed of mashed potatoes with a side of onion and carrot confit, topped with a dramatic fan of enoki tempura.

 

Yum! Spinach and Garlic pizza

For diners who must have rice, the Executive Set Lunch comes with buttered corn rice and a chicken drumstick glazed with roasted coffee, a skewer of turnip and vegetables, drizzled in cream fennel sauce.

 

When in Pizz, we made it a point to have a taste of their freshly-made, signature 10-inch thin-crust pizza and our choice was with a Spinach and Garlic topping.

 

We always enjoyed sharing our food and over catch-up conversation, we just polished off the plates.

 

As we lingered over servings of hot tea and coffee, Arica presented us with a festive dessert of chocolate lave cake – dressed up with a Christmas Greeting – to let us end our meal sweetly. Thank you very much!
