We recently had a goodbye party for a team member at work and wanted to try another pizza place for a team lunch in our board room. The goodbye party included Pizza from Silvio’s Pizza House, Sam had his usual Chicken Karaage from Rice Workshop, a few rounds of the party game “A Fake Artist Goes to New York” and watching the Flavor of Love season 1 reunion.
Here’s what we ordered from Silvios Pizza House Richmond: Silvio’s Special (large), Napoletana Pasta (entree), Alla Silvio’s Pasta (entree), Meat Lovers Pizza (small) and Mexicana Pizza (large). This came to exactly $100.
Silvio’s Special Pizza
Here’s my Silvio’s Special, I ordered it because I like to try out the various “house special” pizzas at various restaurants so long as they don’t have anchovies or prawns on them and this ticked that box. To me this felt like a very Australian-style pizza shop pizza. It was a bit like a vegetarian pizza but with ham under it. It was quite good, olives are a good substitute for bacon for adding flavour to the pizza. I also liked that it had onion on it. I rarely have pizza with onion on it and I feel like it’s an underrated topping. Overall, the pizza seemed fair for its price but was nothing amazing.
Mexicana Pizza
Jack had the Mexicana which is quite typical of him. He left this behind in the fridge after work, so I took it home and ate it. I had it cold and it was still pretty good. I think this pizza is likely better than Silvio’s Special if I’d tried them both when warm.
Meat Lovers
Kyle the intern had a small Meat Lovers pizza. We were surprised at how much smaller the small was than the large. It looked pretty good though.
Alla Silvio’s Pasta
Jan says: My dish is Alla Silvio’s. They use good ingredients. The spicy chorizo and sweet cherry tomatoes, this simple combination of ingredients make up this dish full of flavour. The pasta is cooked in white wine and olive oil, the pasta felt lovely and light. It’s a good choice for lunch. Overall this dish felt fresh and delicious just like home cooking.
