I have always loved pizza. When I was young, I am a big fan of Pizza Hut and Dominos. Although I am still a big fan of Pizza Hut's cheese stuffed crust, I have gained expectation on Pizza as I grow older and so I am not too easily satisfied. Motorino, the pizzeria from Brooklyn that offers Neapolitan style pizza, is quite a nice option when it comes to pizza. The pizza quality at Motorino has caused a controversy here in Hong Kong. Let's see what I think!
Motorino, a pizzeria originated from Brooklyn, sits alongside the escalator on Shelley Street at Soho. Motorino kneads and ferments their Neapolitan pizza dough everyday at their kitchen and they have a beautiful wood burning brick oven at their kitchen! One interesting thing I saw the night I dine was that the pizza chef is an Indian. I wonder if his skills on naah/ roti had advantage in here.
The menu at Motorino is more extensive than I thought. There are 7 antipasti items on the menu, let along the monthly specials on the chalk board. The pizza at Motorino is more cheese based. If you are more the tomato based type of person, like me, you can always top tomato sauce onto their pizza! =)
Aranciata & Limonata are also available here. A good fizzy juice to go with the pizza.
If you have the pizza by hand, you can sniff the charred aroma from the blackened rim. The first quarterly slice of the pizza was extremely enjoyable with a chewy and crunchy base, the rest went soggy pretty quickly and made it undesirable.
If you have not tried Neapolitan style pizza, you have to come to Motorino. My only tip would be come in a party of 4, so every pizza can be consumed promptly before the pizza based went soggy. tasted amazing; Or just order the pizza one at a time!

Gragnano
As known as the "perfect pizza wine", we got this glass by checking in on Facebook. The gragnano is a medium-bodied frizzy red wine. It was pretty strong and I got a bit tipsy after this little glass.Aranciata & Limonata are also available here. A good fizzy juice to go with the pizza.
Cherry Stone Clam - HKD208
A very refreshing and flavourful pizza with flor de latte (Mozarella made with cow's milk) as based. The clam flavour was vivid and rich on the palate which I literally felt like drinking some broth from a clam pot. The lemon enlightened the pizza by bringing a slight sourness to the palate.If you have the pizza by hand, you can sniff the charred aroma from the blackened rim.

New Anniversary Pizza Pugliese - HKD188
A monthly special from Motorino probably to celebrate their anniversary at the Soho branch. The pizza was originally cheese based, but we topped tomato sauce as we would like a tomato based pizza. The pizza had a nice charred crispy rim, as the previous pizza, the first quarter slice was perfect, but the others went soggy quickly. This pizza was very flavourful, cheesy and meaty. The Italian broccoli was lovely.If you have not tried Neapolitan style pizza, you have to come to Motorino. My only tip would be come in a party of 4, so every pizza can be consumed promptly before the pizza based went soggy. tasted amazing; Or just order the pizza one at a time!
