    Pizzeria Jacomax — Pizza

    This tiny hole-in-the-wall restaurant is exactly the kind of pizza place you’d find in the streets of Italy and serves Neapolitan-style pizzas. This casual Sheung Wan restaurant is named after its founder, native Italian Jacobo Maximilano, who found the love of his life in Hong Kong. Pizzas come in fusion flavours like the Mexico x Sicilia with guacamole and nduja or the Ikura storm with premium ikura (red caviar) and lemon zest, and are offered at 12 inches (ranging from HK$168 to HK$208) which can be paired with a variety of traditional Italian starters, beers, and cocktails. All ingredients are sourced from Italy, making it one of the most authentic Neapolitan-style pizzerias in Hong Kong.
