Introducing Mr Kneady’s at Simpang Bedok

Located in Simpang Bedok, also known as The Bedok Marketplace, this culinary hub is one of Singapore's favorite food destinations. It stands out not only for its retro vibe but also for its modern and diverse stalls offering a variety of delicious dishes. During my recent visit, I decided to try the sourdough pizza at Mr Kneady’s—a small food stall that promises an exceptional dining experience.

The Story Behind Mr Kneady

Mr Kneady’s stall is run by Lionel, a 36-year-old who has an interesting backstory. Due to his wheat allergy, he specializes in sourdough products to ensure his health. Each sourdough loaf undergoes a meticulous 20-hour preparation process, made entirely from fresh ingredients. Notably, the pizzas are crafted from this same dough.

Mr Kneady’s Unique Menu

At Mr Kneady’s, the pizza menu is impressive, featuring six main varieties. I opted for the Vox Populi (S$17), a taco-inspired pizza topped with jalapeños, pork sausage, cheddar, and mozzarella. Other tempting options include the Remedy (S$14) with garlic sauce, smoked chicken, red onions, and mozzarella; Space Oddity (S$14) with tomato sauce, salami, pepperoni, and mozzarella; and Arlandria (S$14), which boasts three types of cheese: brie, mozzarella, and smoked mozzarella.

Each pizza is freshly made upon ordering, and the roughly 10-minute wait is well worth it. The Vox Populi I tried was not only visually appealing but could easily serve 2 to 3 people. The aroma of the freshly baked pizza, with its savory pork sausage and rich cheese, had me eagerly anticipating my first bite.

A Flavorful Experience

One bite of the pizza transported me to a culinary paradise. This was one of the best pizzas I’ve ever tasted—each slice bursting with rich, cheesy goodness and flavorful meat, making it feel like I was indulging in a hearty burger or taco. The homemade tomato sauce crafted by Lionel was wonderfully tangy and robust, providing the perfect base for this delightful flavor experience.

As a fan of thin crust pizza, I found Mr Kneady’s sourdough crust perfectly suited to my taste. Each slice had just the right amount of chewiness, while the outer edge was crispy and delectable with a rich flavor.

Final Thoughts

Mr Kneady’s has truly set a new standard for pizza in my eyes, as I’ve now found a place offering incredibly delicious pizzas at reasonable prices. Plus, being located in a food market (albeit a hipster one) means I could relax without worries and simply wait about 10 minutes for my freshly made sourdough pizza. I can easily envision returning to The Bedok Marketplace with friends for a fun pizza dinner, paired with a beer or two. A solid 10/10 recommendation!
