Fugazzi Pizzeria Napoletana Opens at Cullinan Sky Mall, Kai Tak

Authentic Neapolitan pizza cooked in a bespoke Stefano Ferrara oven, hand-crafted pastas, vibrant Italian dining, a dog-friendly alfresco terrace and spritz cocktails in the heart of Kai Tak

Fugazzi Pizzeria Napoletana, a lively and spirited Italian dining destination, has officially opened its doors at Cullinan Sky Mall, Kai Tak, this May. Rooted in the soulful traditions of Naples and steeped in the warmth of the Italian family table, Fugazzi brings to Hong Kong a joyful, no-fuss approach to Neapolitan pizza and Italian cooking — served in a vividly decorated space that makes every visit feel like a spontaneous escape to an Italian street café.

The name itself captures the restaurant’s spirit: “Fugazzi” is inspired by “Fuga,” the Italian word for escape, and “Gazzi,” a playful, invented slang riffing on “all’aperto” — Italian for the great outdoors. Together, the name evokes the charm of an open-air Italian trattoria: relaxed, convivial, and just a little cheeky. As Kai Tak continues its transformation into one of Kowloon’s most dynamic and family-friendly neighbourhoods, Fugazzi arrives as a timely and exuberant addition to its growing dining scene.

A Vibrant Pizzeria with a Mediterranean Garden Soul

Fugazzi’s interior is a celebration of colour, character, and Italian joie de vivre. Stepping inside, guests are immediately greeted by a striking red ceiling adorned with sweeping white script reading “Napoletana Pizzeria” — a bold and theatrical centrepiece that anchors the room with playful personality. The main dining room seats 60 guests, complemented by a mix of vibrant details: terrazzo tabletops and flooring in warm rust and earthy tones, mid-century-inspired wooden chairs upholstered in jewel-toned teal and burgundy, and plush red velvet banquette seating lining the walls. Vintage Italian film posters, artisan artworks, and nostalgic café illustrations adorn the textured walls, recalling the golden age of Italian piazza culture. Trailing greenery cascades from the ceiling and walls, while amber pendant lights and bowl-shaped lanterns cast a warm, golden hue.

At the heart of the dining room sits the semi-open kitchen, where guests can watch their Neapolitan pizza being crafted and baked in the glowing Stefano Ferrara oven — filling the air with an irresistible, comforting aroma.

Fugazzi’s alfresco terrace is a sunlit Mediterranean garden retreat accommodating a further 60 guests. Terrazzo tables are surrounded by potted trees and flowering plants, creating a lush, garden-dining atmosphere with a decidedly Italian soul. Four-legged companions are warmly welcomed on the terrace, making Fugazzi an addition to the neighbourhood’s dog-friendly dining spots — a fitting reflection of Kai Tak’s progressive, community-oriented character.

The Heart of Fugazzi: A Bespoke Italian-made Stefano Ferrara Forni Oven

At the very core of Fugazzi’s kitchen stands a bespoke, hand-crafted pizza oven by Stefano Ferrara Forni — one of the world’s most prestigious names in Neapolitan oven craftsmanship. Each oven is individually constructed in Naples using centuries-old Neapolitan techniques, featuring a refractory brick dome and a renowned Sorrentino biscotto cooking surface, the latter prized for its ability to regulate heat and draw excess moisture from the dough, yielding a perfectly crisp base. Capable of reaching temperatures up to 500°C, the oven delivers the fierce, radiant heat essential to authentic Neapolitan pizza-making.

Made in Italy and shipped directly to Hong Kong for Fugazzi’s kitchen, it is not just a piece of equipment — it is a declaration of intent: that every pizza that leaves this kitchen will be crafted with the same passion and rigour as those found on the streets of Naples.

The Pizza: Crafted Dough, High Heat, and the True Spirit of Naples

The menu showcases a rotating selection of hand-crafted, 12-inch Neapolitan pizzas alongside freshly made pastas and seasonal Italian dishes — all inspired by the spirit of the traditional Italian family kitchen, where every element is created from scratch with care and generosity. Fugazzi prepares everything in-house, from pizza dough to focaccia.

The dough is made with 00 Italian flour, combined with ice-cold water at 4 degrees Celsius and cold-fermented for a full 24 hours — a slow, careful process that develops complex flavour, improves digestibility, and produces the characteristic lightness of true Neapolitan pizza. Baked at 350°C for under two minutes in the Stefano Ferrara oven, each pizza presents a beautifully blistered, crispy outer crust and a soft, slightly chewy interior — finished with fine Italian olive oil and the finest fresh toppings.

Signature pizza highlights from the menu include:

Pizza Napoletana (HK$158/12 inch) — The classic foundation: San Marzano tomato sauce, Fior Di Latte, fresh basil, and olive oil.

Rustica (HK$168/12 inch) — A rustic, earthy combination of pesto sauce, Fior Di Latte, smoked scamorza, and Napoli sausage.

Pizza Funghi e Tartufo (HK$172/12 inch) — An indulgent medley of truffle sauce, Fior Di Latte, mixed mushrooms, rocket, and Pecorino Romano.

Quattro Carni (HK$172/12 inch) — A meaty showstopper featuring San Marzano tomato sauce, Fior Di Latte, pancetta, Napoli sausage, Calabrese salami, and Salame Milano.

Pizza al Carbonara (HK$178/12 inch) — A beloved Roman classic reimagined as a pizza: Fior Di Latte, guanciale, egg yolk, Pecorino Romano, black pepper, and olive oil.

Mortadella e Pistacchio (HK$198/12 inch) — A crowd-pleasing special: cream sauce, Pecorino Romano, Fior Di Latte, lemon zest, crusted pistachio, ricotta cheese, and Mortadella.

Nutella Pizza (HK$88) — Diners with a sweet tooth should not miss the dessert pizza topped with Nutella and fresh banana — a playful finale that keeps the Italian spirit alive until the very last bite.

Pasta and Beyond: House-Made with Heart

Complementing the pizza selection is a carefully curated range of pasta dishes, each made from a rotating assortment of daily house-made fresh pastas — including tagliatelle, pappardelle, ravioli, cavatelli, and potato gnocchi — prepared in the spirit of the Italian grandmothers’ kitchen.

Standout options from the menu include the indulgent Rigatoni alla Vodka (HK$162), featuring a creamy vodka sauce with pancetta, Parmigiano Reggiano, and fresh basil; and the hearty Ravioli di Ricotta e Spinaci (HK$172), a delicate ricotta-and-spinach-filled ravioli served with a cream sauce. Also look out for the richly satisfying Cavatelli al Pesto e Burrata (HK$178), tossed in pesto sauce with creamy whole burrata, walnuts, Parmesan, and fresh basil.

For something truly comforting, the sizzling Gnocchi Pomodoro Caprese (HK$178) is oven-baked with tomato sauce, fresh basil, and baked Caprese cheese — a gooey, comforting dish that embodies the simple pleasures of Italian cooking that soothes every hungry soul.

Anti Pasti and Mains: Italian Market Freshness on Every Plate

For those seeking a fuller Italian feast, Fugazzi’s antipasti and mains are also available to complete the dining experience. Starters worth exploring include the classic Deep-fried Calamari (HK$98) served with lemon garlic aioli; the elegant Wagyu Beef Tartare (HK$128), prepared with premium Wagyu beef, egg yolk, and truffle oil; and the sophisticated Insalata di Pesche Grigliate (HK$158), a seasonal salad combining grilled peach, creamy burrata, Serrano ham, and truffle oil.

On the mains front, the Pollo Parmigiana (HK$198) — a golden, crumbed fried chicken crowned with mozzarella, tomato sauce, and Parmesan cheese fries — is the quintessential Italian-American comfort dish executed with conviction. For guests seeking a premium centrepiece, the USDA Beef Striploin (HK$318/12oz) features a USDA Striploin steak served with roasted vine tomatoes, rocket, and red wine sauce — a satisfying choice for all carnivores.

Fugazzi serves a set lunch from Monday to Friday (excluding public holidays), available from 11 am to 3 pm. Offering outstanding value, diners can choose a 2-course set for HK$128 or a 3-course set for HK$148 — with a complimentary soft drink, lemon tea, or coffee included.

Starters include the Heirloom Burrata with rocket, balsamic vinegar, and heirloom tomatoes; the Salmon Crostini featuring smoked salmon, pizza bread, and pistachios; and many more.

Spritz, Mocktails, Milkshakes and Italian Cheer

Fugazzi’s drinks programme is designed to be enjoyed in true Italian style — slowly, convivially, and preferably outdoors. The Signature Spritz Cocktails (HK$98 each) are best savoured alfresco, just as the Italians do, and span classics such as the Aperol Spritz, Limoncello Spritz, Montenegro Spritz with Amaro Montenegro (Italian herbal liqueur), prosecco and grapefruit; and the floral Hugo Spritz with St Germain elderflower, prosecco, soda, and mint.
