Restaurants: Loui's NY Pizza Parlor @ Universal Studios Singapore (Sentosa)

A month ago, my company held a family day event at Universal Studios Singapore (USS) which is located in Resorts World Sentosa. Never one for the being the early bird, I walked through the entrance turnstill at about 3pm with my wife, avoiding both the noon heat and (to my surprise) long waiting times for the theme rides. I'm not usually the sort to try rollercoasters, but I thought to myself "To hell with it, let's make this free ticket worth my while!!". So it is with great pride that  I conquered the Battlestar Galactica Cylon and Human roller coasters. My strategy was to tackle the most difficult rides and then everything else would be a cinch and it was. But I digress...

After all the afternoon excitement, we were hungry by about 6:45pm and decided to locate the Pizza Parlour in the New York Section of the park. My eldest sis had told me that on her last visit to USS, she liked the pizza smell that was wafting out of the joint. 

Loui's storefront

When we entered the restaurant, only 5 tables were occupied. It's styled like an american deli and cafeteria. Pick what you want at the counters and bring your tray to the cashier to pay.

We chose one set meal each: A slice of pizza, soft drink and a slice of cake for S$13.80 and added Calamari Rings and a Caesar Salad to round of the meal. Total bill came up to about S$43 if memory serves and this was offset by the S$25 voucher that came along with the ticket.
Pizza
A slice of Pizza as pictured below is priced at S$8.50 each. 

Quite a sizeable slice done with a thin crust. It may be its NY sized but I can't confirm because I've not been to the Big Apple. There weren't many flavours on the menu, if I remember there were only about 4 varieties: Hawaiian, Pepperoni (pictured above), Marguerita (Vegetarian) and I can't remember the last flavour. The Pepperoni was quite good with enough cheese and a slightly crispy crust. For the price though, they probably should give you more pepperoni. Better than average theme park fare.
Calamari Rings

Well coated with bread crumbs, these managed to be crispy and the calamari itself was done right and wasn't overcooked but you still have to chew haha. Not bad and goes well with the sauce provided.  I forgot the price though..DUH.... 
Dessert: 

The dessert came as part of the set meal. Some sort of chocolate cake, the taste was alright as far as cakes go not bad but rather forgettable. That's 2 slices pictured above.

The whole shebang

The whole meal (as pictured above) was quite filling and was made all the more enjoyable due to the cost being nicely offset by the $25 voucher that came with our entrance tickets. In the end I paid about S$17 additional. Not cheap but since when are restaurants in theme parks ever cheap? Just to add on that the Caesar salad pictured above was well done and quite appetising. 
Verdict: A good place to get a bite in USS. My Advice is (if you are thinking of having dinner there) to get a seat before the rest of the crowds come out after the last few attractions close at about 7pm. Case in point: about 15 minutes after we got to the place, the place was suddenly set upon by a large hungry hoard of people crouching over our seats like vultures waiting for us to finish.
