High above the bustling streets of Tsim Sha Tsui, Vesu Pizza Bar has officially reopened with an ambitious new chapter that immediately elevates its status in Hong Kong’s competitive pizza scene. The restaurant, perched on the 30th floor of 1 Peking Road, now offers more than just a stunning panorama of Victoria Harbour — it brings an exclusive collaboration with Melbourne’s globally acclaimed pizzeria, SHOP 225.
SHOP 225 recently secured the No. 7 spot in the 2026 Asia-Pacific Top 50 Pizzas and the No. 28 position in the prestigious World Top 50 Pizzas, having also been named Australia’s Best Pizza. By bringing this pedigree to Hong Kong, Vesu offers diners a rare chance to taste award-winning Neapolitan craftsmanship without leaving the city. The result is a limited-edition menu of three exclusive pizzas, each priced at HK$168, that pushes the boundaries of what a traditional pie can be.
A Fusion of Flavours: The Three Exclusive Pizzas
The standout creation is the Char Siu e Nduja, a confident East-meets-West experiment that feels both familiar and entirely new. It starts with a classic tomato sauce and fior di latte base, then boldly incorporates tender Hong Kong-style barbecued pork alongside spicy, spreadable ‘Nduja salami. The inclusion of ginger, spring onions, and a drizzle of spicy hot honey ties the two culinary traditions together, delivering an addictive interplay of rich umami and subtle heat.
For those who crave intensity, the La Rustica Piccante channels a rustic Italian heartiness but amplifies the heat with distinctly Asian accents. Loaded with Italian sausage, broccoli, roasted potatoes, and red onion, it receives a finishing kick from Sichuan pepper and chili oil. The result is deeply savoury with a lingering warmth that rewards adventurous palates.
The Ortolana offers a graceful counterpoint — a vegetarian option that lets vegetables take centre stage. A creamy layer of zucchini purée and Stracchino cheese forms the base, topped with eggplant, fresh zucchini, and sun-dried tomatoes. It is clean, bright, and deeply satisfying, showcasing the quality of its produce without distraction.
Beyond the Savoury: A Dessert Pizza Surprise
Vesu also continues to spotlight its inventive Pizzamisu, a hybrid dessert that swaps traditional ladyfingers for a Neapolitan pizza crust. Layered with luscious mascarpone cream and dusted with cocoa powder, it transforms the classic Italian tiramisu into a shareable, crisp-edged indulgence that has quickly become a signature in its own right.
The Experience and What’s Next
The collaboration signals a broader shift in Hong Kong’s dining landscape: an increasing willingness among top-tier venues to secure direct, limited-time partnerships with internationally recognised culinary talents rather than simply importing concepts. For diners, this means access to globally celebrated recipes in a setting that rivals the originals.
Vesu’s location remains a major draw. Floor-to-ceiling windows frame the iconic harbour skyline, making it an ideal spot for both romantic evenings and lively group gatherings. Given the limited nature of the collaboration and the restaurant’s prime vantage point, reservations are strongly recommended.

Whether you come for the view, the award-winning craftsmanship, or the audacity of a char siu pizza, this collaboration offers a compelling reason to make the trip to Tsim Sha Tsui — before the window closes.
