Ah, pizza. It’s one of the most popular foods in the world, and for good reason. With its chewy, bready crust, saucy fillings and assortment of toppings, the options are limitless when it comes to this Italian dish. Pizzas are often associated with fast food chains and Western restaurants, so coming across That’s My Pizza in a hawker centre was a welcome surprise.
That’s My Pizza opened in August 2022 by first-time hawkers, Ailyn Khoo and Christina Chan. You’ll find the humble stall at Bukit Timah Interim Wet Market & Food Centre, which shifted from the now-defunct Bukit Timah Market and Food Centre.
As the name suggests, That’s My Pizza specialises in a single dish, as suggested by its name, yet offers a wide variety of flavours that range from classics like the Pesto Margherita Pizza (Meatless) (S$24) to exciting fusion flavours like Japanese Chashu Kurobuta (S$30).
Each pizza is made using long-fermented dough and are flame baked in pizza ovens. Aside from savoury flavours, the stall also has 2 dessert flavours to satisfy your sweet tooth.
What I tried at That’s My Pizza
I kicked off my meal with the Mala Smoked Duck (S$22), one of the more interesting flavours on the stall’s menu. This Asian-inspired dish came topped with mala sauce, cubes of smoked duck and stretchy cheese.
The Mala Smoked Duck pizza certainly did not hold back in the mala aspect. The sauce had a surprising kick to it, with a mild yet noticeable peppercorn taste.
The pieces of smoked duck were tender and juicy, adding a meaty element to the pizza. I did think that there could have been more pieces of smoked duck throughout, but I was impressed with the strength of the flavours in general. My only gripe was that the mala sauce made the Mala Smoked Duck pizza a tad too salty for my taste, but I still enjoyed it very much.
I decided to try one of the dishes from That’s My Pizza’s Pesto menu, the Pesto Prosciutto (S$28). Instead of the usual tomato sauce, this pizza had a pesto base and was topped with 18-month-aged prosciutto.
The pesto sauce had a nutty and herby flavour, and its rich, earthy taste paired wonderfully with the cheese.

The prosciutto further elevated the Pesto Prosciutto pizza with its salty profile. Those who love the intense flavours of prosciutto will likely enjoy this pizza, given the substantial amount of cured meat that is piled atop.
As with the previous flavour, the Pesto Prosciutto had a nice chewy bread crust that acted as the perfect neutral base for all the flavourful toppings. The strength of the prosciutto may make this flavour a bit too salty for some, so I would advise going for a milder flavour if salt isn’t your thing.
Final thoughts
It’s surprising to find such atas, restaurant-quality pizzas within a humble hawker centre, which is what makes That’s My Pizza stand out even more. The prices are definitely much steeper than your usual hawker fare, but are comparable to those of restaurants with similar standards of food.
I would love to return to try out That’s My Pizza’s other unique flavours, though at its price point, it wouldn’t be something that I would consume on a daily basis. I admire the creativity of the stall’s founders, and I look forward to seeing their new creations in the future!
