Serving affordable modern New York pizzas, hotdogs and soft serve
Showcasing talents of homegrown brands and ideas

Sonny’s Pizza, is a new cornerstone of Elgin street, offering takeaway (or dine on the street like a New Yorker) and houses three distinctive brands under one roof. Sonny’s Pizza, Randy’s hotdogs, Milk soft serve are on offer, fulfilling all your needs from a quick lunch, an indulgent dinner or that late night snack after drinks.
The idea of Sonny’s Pizza was conceived by Chef Son Pham (Sonny) and Shakib Pasha. Sonny's Pizza was created to offer affordable unpretentious pizzas prepared with premium ingredients. Prior to this, Son has worked at establishments such as Union Square Cafe (NY), Ryugin (Tokyo), and Amelia (HK).

Sonny’s Pizza
At Sonny's Pizza, it’s all about the dough. Using a blend of two Italian flours, the dough is made in-house, where a blend of a soft wheat flour mixed with a stronger Manitoba flour, then biga, an Italian yeast starter, is added into the dough to be fermented for 48 hours. This extended fermentation period allows the dough to develop a more complex flavour and a chewy crust that is surprisingly light and easy to eat. To top it all off, the dough is all sauced with tantalising sauces made in-house using premium Italian ingredients.
Sonny’s Pizza offers 6 choices, three each under the ‘Classic’ and the ‘Signatures’. Signatures include Garlic Gang, an innovative yet delicious combination of spicy marinara with mozzarella, double pepperoni and the local’s favourite black garlic. The Kowloon Kid, unifying the flavours of lap cheong, the traditional Chinese sausage can be found in clay pot rice, with bacon, mozzarella, and red onions to bring you the unique taste of Hong Kong in a pizza.

MUSHROOM | PEPPERONI | STEAK N CHEESE | KOWLOON KID |
For Classic, guests can choose from Cheese with a blend of four cheeses; Pepperoni, the quintessential New York-style pizza; and Mushroom for those who prefer a flavoursome vegetarian option.
Whether you are looking for a quick slice on the go or a meal to share with friends, Sonny's Pizza has you covered. The pizzas are available by the slice, starting from HKD38 apiece, or as whole pizzas in two sizes: the 12-inch, perfect for sharing between two people, starting from HKD138 each, or the 16-inch, ideal for a group of four to five, starting from HKD280 each.
Randy’s Hotdogs
Randy's Hotdogs, created by the same team behind the famous local burger shop Honbo, elevates the humble hotdog to new heights, offering four options: Classic Dog (HKD68) with ketchup and mustard, Chicago Dog (HKD68) with sweet pickle and pickled peppers, Tokyo Dog (HKD78) with Kewpie mayo and homemade okonomiyaki sauce, and Tommy Dog(HKD88) which is named after the famous Californian chilli hot dog, drizzled with homemade beef chilli and American cheddar. Each made with 100% beef and paired with carefully selected sauces and toppings in an artisan soft bun, Randy's hotdogs are surely a treat that cannot be missed.
