Hong Kong, September 2026 — A century-spanning collaboration is making waves in the city’s dining scene. Emmer Pizza, the artisan pizzeria celebrated for its handcrafted ancient-grain crusts, has joined forces with Kee Wah Bakery, an 80-year-old Hong Kong institution, to create a limited-edition “Kee Wah Lap Cheong Pizza” that marries Italian tradition with Cantonese culinary heritage. Priced at HK$178, the pizza will be available from October 14 to November 30 at all three Emmer outlets. Simultaneously, the Landmark store is launching a Sunday Bottomless Brunch featuring unlimited Tiramisu, starting at HK$288 per person.
A Fusion of Flavours: The Lap Cheong Pizza
Emmer Pizza has built its reputation on a meticulous dough-making process. The team grinds Emmer wheat — an ancient grain — fresh daily at each location, blending it with rye flour and Italian “00” flour. After a 24-hour natural fermentation, the dough is hand-stretched and baked in a custom rotary oven, resulting in a crust that is crisp on the outside, soft within, lower in gluten, and rich in nutty aroma.
The new pizza draws on Kee Wah’s iconic cut-meat Chinese sausage (lap cheong), made from tender pork marinated with rose liqueur and soy sauce. The pizza is layered with creamy buffalo mozzarella, charred baby cabbage, sweet red onion, and finished with fresh scallions and a drizzle of house-made soy glaze. Each bite delivers a complex interplay of savoury, sweet, and smoky notes.
“We wanted to create something that respects both traditions — the slow-fermented Neapolitan-style base and the bold, festive character of a classic Cantonese sausage,” said a spokesperson for Emmer. “It’s a pizza that feels familiar yet surprising.”
Sunday Bottomless Brunch: Tiramisu Unlimited
For weekend indulgence, Emmer’s Landmark Plaza outpost is rolling out a new Sunday Bottomless Brunch (11:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.). Guests can enjoy an unlimited salad bar and cold platters, then choose one main course — either a pizza or pasta. During the promotional period, diners can complimentary upgrade to the new lap cheong pizza. The finale: unlimited refills of the restaurant’s signature Tiramisu.
Brunch Pricing Options:
- Classic Non-Alcoholic Package: HK$288 (unlimited sodas and juices)
- Alcoholic Upgrade: HK$438 (2.5 hours of free-flow Prosecco, wine, and beer)
- Kids’ Package: From HK$138 (non-alcoholic beverages)
This move taps into Hong Kong’s growing appetite for brunch experiences that combine value, variety, and novelty. With Tiramisu as an unlimited offering, the package caters to dessert lovers who often lament single servings.

Broader Impact: Blending Heritage and Innovation
This collaboration reflects a wider trend in Hong Kong’s food scene: reimagining beloved local ingredients through international techniques. Kee Wah, known for its mooncakes and traditional pastries, has previously partnered with modern brands; the lap cheong pizza brings their signature sausage into a format that appeals to younger, adventurous diners.
For Emmer, the partnership reinforces its identity as a boundary-pushing pizzeria that values craftsmanship and local roots. The limited-run launch also creates urgency and buzz, driving traffic across all three stores.
As the autumn season encourages comfort food exploration, this cross-cultural pizza — paired with a leisurely, dessert-laden brunch — offers a compelling reason to gather friends and family. Whether you’re a pizza purist or a dim sum devotee, this is a chance to taste Hong Kong’s culinary DNA in a single slice.
