Liquid Laundry may be known for their homemade brews but their wood-fired pizzas shouldn't go unmentioned.

With sofa seating and tables overlooking Donghu and Huaihai Zhong Lu, it's a lovely spot to wile away a few afternoon hours.

The name of the place says it all: this is a New York-style pizzeria with multiple locations around Shanghai. The colourful graffiti on the wall mimics that city's diverse melting pot of culture but also makes it a space children are drawn to. They also offer student discounts (20% off) and snacks such as popcorn chicken and sweet potato fries to go along with your meal. The large pizzas are also good for family parties; kids will be satisfied with one or two slices.
