Dining
Vincenzo Capuano
Vincenzo Capuano’s first Hong Kong shop fills two floors on Lee Tung Avenue in Wan Chai with contemporary Neapolitan pizza. The dough is long-fermented and light; pizzas arrive whole and get snipped at the table with gold scissors. Signatures to share include Provola e Pepe, pistachio-and-mortadella Tetti Illuminati, and the meatball Abbraccio e Mamma. Loud, casual, and perfect when the plan is great pizza, not a white-tablecloth night. Roughly 12:00–23:00 daily — book online or call 2802 2802 (some seats held for walk-ins).
