This new pizzeria might look like a humble hole-in-the-wall, but it's a chateau of crackly crusts, a manor for mozzarella and a palace of plum tomatoes. Could this be PJ's most pleasurable pizza? If the team here keeps things up, it might be safe to bet a Happy Mansion apartment on that. This is wood-fired pizza that's terrific from the first bite to the final chew - every topping comes together, making each slice even more gratifying than the sum of its parts. Packs of custom-milled, soft wheat flour and hulking cans of preserved whole tomatoes from Lombardy and Puglia testify to the pizza parlour's committed passion. Of the 10 pizzas on the menu, Big Brunch might be the crowd-rouser (RM32) - beef bacon, button mushrooms, roasted cherry tomatoes and baby spinach surface in perfect savoury-sweet proportions, shored up by spring cream and fior di latte for fresh milky notes, centred with a runny egg for sticky-fingered, hot-from-the-oven richness, bound on a base with lo...

Mangiiare (a twist on the Italian word that means 'to eat') does a decent job at pastas, pizzas and other cornerstones of the Italian cookbook. Can't say no to gnocchi made in the restaurant's own kitchen, saturated in tomato sauce with a mellow-sweet tang that's thankfully more naturally nuanced than overpowering (RM30). Pizza possibilities include a well-proportioned pleasure with smoked salmon, avocado, capers, onions, dill, garlic aioli, arugula, mascarpone, mozzarella and cream cheese (RM42). Happy hour 'BMW' promotions are worthwhile - RM10++ for a Beer, Mojito or house Wine, 4pm-9pm everyday. Service is enthusiastic. Look for the signboard with the colours of the Italian flag. Mangiiare Dine & Bar 21, Lorong Kurau, Off Jalan Bangsar, 59100 Kuala Lumpur. Daily, 12pm-12am.

This new Italian restaurant specialises in pizzas, with more than thirty varieties on the menu, including topping combinations like sliced mortadella sausage and mozzarella cheese with pistachio bits (RM46). But the real highlight might rest in the remainder of the menu, showcasing Italian produce such as crispy-fried, briny-savoury Mediterranean baby squid (RM29) and breaded Ascoli green olives stuffed with mixed meat for a moreish snack (RM24 for six pieces). Rosso's founder is reputedly Roman, so it also might be worth sampling a selection of specialities from The Eternal City, spanning baccala alla romana (salt cod) and porchetta romana (herb-roasted pork). Rosso Pizza Wine Bar H-G-13, Plaza Arkadia, Desa ParkCity, Kuala Lumpur. Open Tuesday-Sunday, 5pm-1am (last orders at 11pm).
