The 800 Degrees Woodfired Kitchen brand hails from Westwood, Los Angeles, California, United States Of America, where it was established in January 2012 by Chef Anthony Carron, with backing from National Basketball Association (NBA) Champions Dwyane Wade and Udonis Haslem. Specialising in wood-fired Italian neapolitan pizza and rotisserie chicken, 800 Degrees Woodfired Kitchen opened its 1st international outlet in Singapore in March 2021, laying claim to being the 1st Muslim-owned, halal pizza restaurant in Singapore with a wood-fired oven.

Ambience at 800 Degrees Woodfired Kitchen is open and casual. The brightly lit area has limited seats, able to accomodate 10 groups with 2 - 4 people per group, although the modern and simple furnishings are decently comfortable. The biggest draw is the open kitchen, where you can observe staff preparing your pizza, then baking it in the iconic woodfired oven which heats up to 800 degrees Fahrenheit (inspiring the restaurant name).

Service at 800 Degrees Woodfired Kitchen is partially self-service, with ordering and payment over the counter, though staff serve orders to your table. I note staff are friendly and helpful, demonstrating decent knowledge of the menu and available promotion offers. They clean up relatively leisurely when diners leave, but are meticulous and thorough at it. Staff are accomodating with requests, but the more senior personnel require some time to perform tasks on devices.

Food at 800 Degrees Woodfired Kitchen spans traditional Italian cuisine, in particular, pizza and rotisserie chicken. Their pizza in particular is outstanding, made using quality ingredients and freshly baked over a blend of various types of wood, rivaling the best restaurants around. Other dishes are decently average. Portion sizes are medium to large, and are best shared. Prices are more affordable than elsewhere given their casual dining approach, budget about SGD $18 per person.

The 800 Degrees Lemonade (SGD $4.50) is a refreshing beverage. The lemonade carries bright zesty sour sweet tangy flavour, nicely sharp and punchy. Good!

The Home Made Beef Meat Balls (SGD $12) are a delight, and taste better than they look. Was prepared to be disappointed, but after biting into these juicy tender beef meat balls, I was surprised by the bold meaty savoury herbal sweet earthy salty flavours within. I understand they've used fresh minced beef here. The light tomato sauce is made with fresh tomato as well, resulting in a bright vegetal sweet flavour that is so enticing. Served with crunchy toasted baguette bread with smoky bready sweet notes, crisp rocket leaves / arugula with vegetal bitter herbal sweet flavour, and soft ricotta cheese with mild milky sweet notes. Good!

The Rotisserie Half Chicken With Mashed Potato & Butter Corn Set (SGD $20) is decent enough, a passably average dish. Their chicken is brined in freshly cooked vegetable stock, then marinated in a proprietary blend of herbs and spices, a process which take 2 days. It's finished with roasting in the rotisserie oven.

The Rotisserie Half Chicken is sufficently tender and moist with decent savoury sweet salty smoky flavour, though quality of the fresh chicken is similar to those you'd get in a supermarket. The Mashed Potato is smooth with average starchy savoury salty flavour from the brown gravy, though quality is similar to the instant versions from convenience stores. The juicy Butter Corn and crisp Lettuce was delicious, the former having a smoky buttery sweet savoury flavour, the latter having fresh vegetal sweet notes. There's a range of several sauces to choose from, we got the Truffle Ranch Sauce, which is creamy with earthy milky sweet notes, yum. Worth ordering!

The DIY Pizza (SGD $28) here is excellent. The pizza crust is made using Neopolitan flour imported from Naples, Campania, Italy, and is custom milled to give an elastic stretchy dough that bakes into a crisp, soft, light pizza crust, with smoky bready sweet sour flavour. We selected the 14-inch Margherita base, which features fresh crushed tomato sauce, gooey mozzarella cheese, stringy parmesan cheese, and extra virgin olive oil. Chose several toppings, including a runny egg, bouncy beech and button mushrooms, tender beef meat balls, and soft ricotta cheese. With the toppings combined, each bite was a delightful burst of vegetal earthy meaty savoury salty eggy sweet cheesy bready sour flavours. Loved the pizza here. Highly recommended!
