5. Fini’s Italian American
As famous as Italian-style pizza is, there’s another version that’s becoming increasingly just as popular: New York-style pizza. As it just so happens, Fini’s Italian American has been slinging New York-style pies since 2011, with a 12-inch option and a staggering 18-inch offering. Fini’s Famous Margherita holds down the fort as one of our favourite pizzas in Hong Kong, while the Bronx brings out the inner carnivore in you with heaps of homemade sausage, spicy pepperoni, and pork meatball. Want extra carbs? The homemade pastas at Fini’s will have you covered, whether you go classic with Spaghetti with Red Sauce, or outside the box with the Hong Kong-inspired Typhoon Shelter Crab Linguini. In true American fashion, this joint is no light fare, but you’ll be unbuttoning your pants at the end of the meal with a smile on your face.
