Choice Cuts Pizza & Records is a New York-style slice shop with a Hip Hop, Funk & Soul spirit, serving the Joo Chiat neighbourhood since 2017 after starting out at an original spot on Serangoon Road. Inspired by the birthplace of Hip Hop, the shop makes its pizzas authentically New York thin-crust, with dough made daily from Italian soft wheat flour and cold proofed for a minimum of 48 to 72 hours.
Each pizza is baked with a choice of housemade marinara, vodka or white sauce, paired with quality ingredients to deliver what the shop calls the perfect New York slice. Beyond pizza, Choice Cuts also serves hot dogs, tiramisu and other sweet bites, alongside soda beverages, rounding out a menu built around big, shareable 18-inch pies.
Choice Cuts offers 18-inch pizza pies for islandwide delivery and pickup, with free delivery for weekday orders above $270, and runs ongoing multi-pie promotions for customers ordering more than one pizza.
Choice Cuts Pizza & Records brings a distinct identity to Joo Chiat: a slice shop steeped in Hip Hop, Funk and Soul culture, serving up New York-style pizza, hot dogs and tiramisu with a music-driven personality baked into its name and vibe.
The shop has been part of the Joo Chiat neighbourhood since 2017, having started out at an original location on Serangoon Road before making its move. Its inspiration draws directly from what the shop calls the Mecca of Hip Hop — New York City — and that influence extends beyond the music references into the pizza itself.
Choice Cuts takes its pizza-making seriously. The dough is made daily using Italian soft wheat flour and cold proofed for a minimum of 48 to 72 hours, a process aimed at developing the thin, authentic New York-style crust the shop is known for. From there, each pizza is paired and baked with one of three housemade sauces — marinara, vodka, or white sauce — combined with quality ingredients to round out what the shop describes as the perfect New York slice.
While pizza is the centrepiece, Choice Cuts' menu extends further. Hot dogs sit alongside the pizza offering for those wanting something different, and Tiramisu covers the sweet end of the menu as part of a broader Sweet Bites selection. Soda beverages round things out for anyone wanting a drink to go with their order. The pizzas themselves come in a large 18-inch format, sized to serve 3 to 4 people — making them well suited to sharing.
Choice Cuts' 18-inch pizza pies are available for islandwide delivery and pickup, with free delivery offered on weekday orders above $270 — a threshold that suits group or office orders more than a single pie. The shop also runs standing promotions for customers ordering multiple pizzas: 15% off the third pie on weekdays, and 10% off the third pie on weekends, both applied automatically at checkout. Prices shown at checkout are inclusive of delivery and platform fees, so there's no separate surprise charge added on top.
For anyone with pizza left over, Choice Cuts even offers reheating instructions on its ordering page: pre-heat a conventional oven or toaster to high, then throw in slices for about 1 to 2 minutes, or until the cheese starts to melt and the toppings begin bubbling — a small but useful detail for getting the most out of a big pie over multiple sittings.
What sets Choice Cuts apart in Joo Chiat's food scene isn't just the pizza itself, but the atmosphere and identity built around it — a shop that treats Hip Hop, Funk and Soul as central to its brand as much as its dough proofing process. For anyone in the neighbourhood after a big, shareable New York-style pizza with some genuine music culture behind it, Choice Cuts Pizza & Records positions itself as a distinctive local option.
