True Neapolitan Margherita with Salvatore's signature 36-hour cold-fermented dough. San Marzano tomatoes and bufala mozzarella imported from Campania. The char from the wood-fired oven creates a leopard-spotted crust that reviewers consistently highlight as the reference point for authentic Neapolitan pizza in Hong Kong.
Tips from diners
Arrive at lunch (12-3pm) for shorter waits than dinner. The margherita is the best entry point to understand Salvatore's technique.
One of Salvatore's signature creations that earned Fiata its 50 Top Pizza recognition. Fresh Italian sausage crumbles on a bed of mascarpone-based cream, topped with caramelized red onions and fior di latte. The rich, aromatic sausage contrasts beautifully with the delicate, slightly charred crust.
Tips from diners
Order this as your second pizza after Margherita — the richness is a natural progression and most memorable after a classic.
Made fresh daily in-house. Salvatore sources Italian mascarpone and uses strong espresso from a local Hong Kong roaster. The balance between the bitter coffee and sweet cream is clean, not heavy. Reviewers consistently praise it as an unexpected highlight after pizza.
Tips from diners
Share one between two people — rich enough that a whole one per person feels excessive but it's perfect as a shared close to the meal.
A simple side that demonstrates Fiata's commitment to quality ingredients. Smooth potato base with a crispy exterior. Homemade aioli with garlic and olive oil on the side. Many reviewers list this as a must-have alongside any pizza order.
Tips from diners
Order 2-3 portions for a small group — crispy outside, fluffy inside, addictive.
A traditional Neapolitan street food that Fiata executes with the same rigor as its wood-fired pies. The dough is fried until puffy and light, then topped with simple San Marzano tomato sauce, fior di latte, and fresh basil. Street food vendors across Naples do this, but Salvatore's long fermentation and quality ingredients elevate it to an art form.
Tips from diners
Best value on the menu — this alone with a drink is a full, satisfying meal.
Chef Salvatore Fiata opened this Soho outpost in 2019 after perfecting traditional Neapolitan techniques in Naples. Born into a family of pizza makers in Campania, he brings direct lineage to authentic Italian pizza craft. Fiata has climbed the 50 Top Pizza rankings to #3 in Asia-Pacific 2025 and #22 globally, the highest-ranked pizzeria in Hong Kong history.
Lunch (12-3pm) has significantly shorter waits than dinner. If you don't have a reservation, arrive by 12:15pm or after 2pm.
The dining room is compact — expect communal energy and noise. If you want quieter dining, come at the very start of lunch (12pm sharp).
Reservations fill up 2-3 weeks in advance for dinner. Weekday lunch is much easier to access and offers the same quality food.
