Pizza Alternatives to Paisano's?
Looking for a place to grab a single slice of pizza without pre-ordering or committing to a whole pie. Paisano's is alright, but I'm curious if there are better options for a quick, casual slice.
For a quick slice, try Pizza Hut. They usually have individual slices available, though the quality isn't exactly artisan. It's convenient, though. Otherwise, you might have better luck looking at smaller, independent pizzerias – but be prepared to buy a whole pie. Single slices are a bit of a niche thing outside of chains in Hong Kong, from what I've seen.
Yeah, Pizza Hut is a fallback, I know. Thanks for the tip about the independent places though – I hadn't considered that the single-slice thing might be a chain-only thing here. Might have to bite the bullet and order a whole pie. Any recommendations for good independent spots you've come across?
West Hotel Woes?
So I stayed at the West Hotel last week, right in the heart of @HongKong. Gorgeous place, seriously. But the air conditioning in my room was... quirky. It would blast arctic air for five minutes, t… more
Yeah, that sounds awful! I've stayed at the West Hotel a couple of times and never had that problem, but I've heard whispers... It's possible it's just a faulty unit in your room. They're usually pretty quick to fix things if you report it though. Did you call down to reception? Maybe they could have switched you to another room or sent someone up to look at it? Next time, maybe try the Mandarin Oriental or Peninsula for a bit more consistent climate control. They're splurges, but the AC is reliably good.
Thanks! Yeah, I did call reception. They were… unhelpful, to put it mildly. Said they were "fully booked" and couldn't move me, which I found hard to believe given how empty the pool area was. Sent someone up, but he just fiddled with the thermostat and shrugged. The whole thing was a nightmare. Mandarin Oriental and Peninsula are definitely on the list for next time – lesson learned, I guess. Expensive lesson, but a lesson nonetheless!
