Pizza Champion Vincenzo Capuano opens restaurant in Robertson Quay

With its iconic golden scissors placed at every table, encouraging every diner to cut through their pizza and serve themselves a slice, a truly unique restaurant is coming to Singapore. World-famous pizza champion Vincenzo Capuano is making his Asia debut with his namesake pizza chain, which opened in Singapore at Robertson Quay on 17th May. 

Diners are encouraged to test the dough’s structural integrity for themselves by using the provided golden scissors and cutting through it. The secret lies in his dough recipe, developed alongside the flour manufacturer Mulino Caputo, which results in a fluffy but light crust that represents the peak of Neapolitan pizza. 

Vincenzo Capuano’s epithet of “Pizza Champion” isn’t just for show. Born and raised in Naples, Italy, he is a fourth-generation master pizzaiolo who grew up under the culinary mentorship of his family. His passion for pizza-making was ignited when he was 15. This fire eventually culminated in over 40 accolades to his name, including a pizza so good it won the 19th edition of the Caputo Trophy, one of the most prestigious pizza competitions in the world.

That same pizza, the Provola E Pepe ($28) is now available in Singapore. Featuring smoked provola from the mountains and a special pepper mix created in-house, Singaporean pizza lovers will now be able to experience this championship pizza for themselves.

Looking for other options? Both traditional and unique pizza types are available on the menu. Examples include the Don Vincenzo ($28), which features a ricotta-stuffed crust, and the Montanara Double Cooking ($24), a pizza with a fully-fried base that is sauteed in the oven with Neapolitan ragu. 

For those craving something else, the menu also includes a pasta section, where more familiar foods like carbonara and lasagna are served. One must-try is the Guanciale Di Manzo ($30), made with 12-hour slow-cooked wagyu beef cheek ragu. All of the dishes offered highlight the elegant flavors of Italian premium extra virgin olive oil and the sweetness of a handmade chunky tomato sauce, produced from hand-kneaded San Marzano tomatoes. 

A culinary sensation with over a million followers on Instagram and Tiktok, his Singapore outlet is only one of the multiple he has opened in 2025 alone. The chain recently ranked 12th out of the 50 Top World Artisan Pizza Chains in 2024. Its first outlet in Asia is part of a continual expansion of his culinary influence, a movement that has seen him now running more than 30 restaurants in countries like Italy, the Netherlands, Germany, and Kosovo.
