Tucked away near Southern Avenue like a well‑kept secret, Pico has just celebrated its first year. The name alone sparks curiosity: “Pi” for pizza, “Co” for coffee — a promise of wood‑fired bliss and aromatic brews, which they have perfectly served for one year. From morning espressos that jolt sleepy heads awake to evening pizza nights warmed by glowing ovens, Pico has upheld its twin pillars of ethics and pure flavour. Step inside the cafe and you would be greeted by the rich scent of freshly-ground coffee beans and the comforting crackle of pizza crust.
As a coffee bar turned coffee lab, Pico invites patrons into the brewing process. From pour‑over demonstrations to choosing their own brews, it’s education meets indulgence. When hunger strikes, Pico’s Italian menu satiates you with wood‑fired Margheritas with that perfect char, creamy tiramisu and many more. Now, as Pico blows out its first candle, it’s dreaming bigger and healthier. It has introduced whole‑wheat pizzas, that soft chew beneath a layer of fresh toppings, and roasted‑in‑house beans filling the air with a deep, homegrown aroma. No longer just sourcing, they’re becoming true coffee artisans from soil to sip. From avocados on whole wheat toast to matcha-orange brews, t2 checked out Pico’s one year special entries on the menu.
This Neapolitan‑style, whole‑wheat Pesto Burrata Pizza is wood‑fired to achieve a soft, pillowy crust with just the right char, perfectly complemented by the fresh creaminess of burrata and vibrant pesto sauce
The Tender Coconut Concoction is a soothing and refreshing caffeinated drink made with fresh coconut water, topped with espresso and garnished with coconut jelly

“Branding transformed for us when curious visitors started calling it not just a coffee bar, but a coffee laboratory—complete with specialised equipment and multiple brewing methods. At Pico, it’s not just about serving—it’s about connection. With healthier menu options and our own coffee roasting, we’re creating a place where people truly belong according to their food choices,” said Prateek Didwania, owner of Pico.
