Beer and pizza

Any fan of a pina colada knows that pineapple and coconut are a match made in heaven. Ciao Chow takes that savvy one step further in one of its five new beer-and-pizza pairings, matching its Ananas pizza (San Marzano Tomato, mozzarella, prosciutto cotto, grilled pineapple) with its house-crafted toasted-coconut porter. The combo, priced at HK$227 ($29), wraps the smooth vanilla notes and bold chocolate character of the beer around the casual eatery's Italian twist on a classic Hawaiian pizza. Four other smart pairings, selected from the restaurant's more than two dozen craft beers and 15 pizza offerings, have also been on the menu since Wednesday.
