Throwing a pizza party is one of the easiest ways to please a crowd. It’s also a safe food item to contribute to the party table.
Everyone loves pizza, and its versatility makes it perfect for birthdays, family gatherings, or even corporate events. However, the typical pepperoni, meat lover’s, and even Hawaiian pizza may have run its course. Unique, spiced-up, gourmet pizzas, however, can add a freshness and variety to the table that keeps diners reaching for another slice.
Let’s explore new pizza varieties that can brighten up your next party.
The most popular regional pizza varieties are as follows:
Italian pizza stays true to its roots in Naples and other regions of Italy. The dough is soft, airy, and lightly charred. Toppings are fresh and simple, often consisting of just a few ingredients, such as mozzarella, tomato, and fresh basil. Some varieties don’t even have cheese. Occasionally, olive oil is drizzled to enhance flavour.
Italian variations are our speciality here at Pasta Fresca.
Following the philosophy of Italian cuisine to utilise a few ingredients, Italian pizza is all about respecting each ingredient by allowing its few toppings to shine through.
Although we are an authentic Italian restaurant devoted to the craft of Italian cuisine, we don’t dismiss other regional variations, such as American and Asian. Though we don’t serve them at our Italian-focused restaurant, they’re still worth pointing out:
American pizza tends to be heavier, thicker, and loaded with toppings. It goes in the opposite direction of Italy’s culinary philosophy, having up to seven toppings on a single pizza at a time (in addition to the cheese and tomato sauce). Favourite toppings include pepperoni, mushroom, sausage, bacon, ham, peppers, and sometimes, pineapple.
Flavours are bolder, cheese is abundant, and portions are generous. American pizza varieties are ideal for pizza nights that call for hearty servings.
Asian fusion pizza incorporates Asian flavours like teriyaki, bulgogi, or tandoori spices. Toppings often include seafood, spicy sauces, chicken, and other creative twists such as seaweed and kimchi.
These pizzas are flavour-packed with Asian umami, perfect for a party where you want to surprise guests with something different.

Margherita is a classic Italian pizza. Its simplicity highlights the quality of each ingredient. The bubbly crust and fresh mozzarella make every slice satisfying. A light sprinkle of salt and extra virgin olive oil finishes it perfectly.
Due to its simplicity, a Margherita pizza allows a chef’s culinary execution to shine. Try Pasta Fresca’s Margherita pizza. It’s fresh, simple, yet our expertise shines through its flavour.

Quattro Formaggi is for cheese lovers. It literally means “four cheeses,” and is prepared with such. This makes it the indulgent, ultra-cheesy star of Italian cuisine. Instead of relying on elaborate toppings, it celebrates the flavour, aroma, and melt of four distinct cheeses. It’s a hit at parties, appealing to kids and adults alike.
Our Quattro Formaggi pizza here at Pasta Fresca is a luscious meld, so each slice melts in the mouth and drips with creamy richness.
Region: Italy (Emilia-Romagna)
Toppings: Prosciutto di Parma, mozzarella, cherry tomatoes (optional), parmesan shavings

Parma Ham pizza is elegant yet crowd-pleasing. This pizza is topped with the king of Italian ham: slices made from high-quality pork legs that are salted, gently massaged, and then aged, giving it its signature melt-in-the-mouth texture. It’s perfect for parties where you want something refined and luscious, especially when paired with wine or antipasti boards.
Our Parma ham pizza is made with extra care for the Parma ham. We prepare our Parma ham in a way that best harmonises with the pizza’s tomato and cheese. Give it a try!
Region: Italy
Toppings: Fresh mozzarella, arugula (rucola), cherry tomatoes (optional), shaved parmesan
Crust Thickness: Thin to medium

Rucola Mozzarella offers a refreshing, bright flavour profile that combines fresh, peppery arugula with soft, creamy mozzarella. It’s often finished with simple Italian accents, such as olive oil, balsamic vinegar, cracked pepper, or tomatoes.
Pasta Fresca’s Rucola Mozzarella harmonises ruccola with the creamy profile of mozzarella, topped with huge slices of the best tomatoes, to bring out that creamy garden taste.
Region: Coastal Italy
Toppings: Mixed seafood (mussels, clams, squid, shrimp), garlic, parsley, mozzarella (optional)
Crust Thickness: Thin
Served at Pasta Fresca: Yes
Frutti Di Mare is a seafood lover’s favourite: bold, briny, and full of Mediterranean flair. The mix of seafood brings the day’s catch in each bite. It stands out on a party table, especially for guests who indulge in shrimp and squid.
Our Frutti Di Mare pays homage to southern Italian cuisine, where seafood is a significant portion. Try our Frutti Di Mare pizza; we also have a risotto variation.
Region: New York, USA
Toppings: Mozzarella, pepperoni, mushrooms, bell peppers, and bacon
Crust Thickness: Thin, foldable
Served at Pasta Fresca: No
New York-style pizza’s combination of cheese, tomato, and classic meats makes it a crowd-pleaser. Occasionally, it’s served with fresh vegetables, such as bell peppers or cherry tomatoes, which add colour and balance to the greasy meat.
It’s also one of the most popular pizza variations, making it the best pizza in Singapore for parties and get-togethers. We don’t serve New York style at Pasta Fresca, however.
Region: Chicago, USA
Toppings: Mozzarella, tomato, sausage, pepperoni, vegetables
Crust Thickness: Deep, buttery, thick
Served at Pasta Fresca: No
Chicago deep dish is rich and filling. It’s almost part lasagna, part pizza. The thick crust holds a mound of cheese and tomato bits, making it ideal for groups that love indulgent, flavour-packed meals. Each slice is filling, so an entire pizza can satisfy a whole room.
Though we don’t serve Chicago deep dish at Pasta Fresca’s Italian concept, we can’t ignore deep dish pizza’s popularity at restaurants and parties.
Region: Japan, Asian fusion
Toppings: Teriyaki chicken, mozzarella, red onion, bell peppers
Crust Thickness: Thin to medium
Served at Pasta Fresca: No
Teriyaki pizza adds an Asian twist to your party. The sweetness of the teriyaki sauce pairs perfectly with fresh vegetables and melted mozzarella for a unique and delightful bite. It’s creative, flavour-packed, and can surprise guests with something different.
As delightful as this is, we don’t serve Japanese Teriyaki pizza (or any other Asian interpretations) at our Italian restaurant.
Region: Korea, Asian fusion
Toppings: Bulgogi beef, mozzarella, kimchi, spring onions
Crust Thickness: Medium
Served at Pasta Fresca: No
Bulgogi pizza is spicy and satisfying. The marinated beef blends with the tomato sauce, cheese, and fresh vegetables. Bring Korean bulgogi pizza to the party for a mix of heat, sweetness, and creaminess.
