Pizza Pizza Pizza

A neon lit takeaway pizza joint that sells by the slice for $4 doesn't seem the place for cocktails and pizza but I'm advised to walk in, make a left and step beyond the doorway...

And I enter a small, dark but cute bar with some booth seating, some low bar seating and a larger table and most importantly a cocktail bar.

With some wit and charm, we're sucked in by promises of pineaperol spritzes, frozen pina coladas and much more as well as the beckoning of cheese laden pizza and breaded mozzarella sticks....

The pizza menu isn't the longest but the classic favourites are there; pepperoni, pineapple, mushroom, margherita and you can order by the slice or share large ones. We decided to go half and half and have the mushroom one and the pepperoni and peppers. It doesn't quite go to plan though as what arrives is half Margherita and half pepperoni but by the time we realise we have sliced up and started to eat. Who can resist pizza with so much melted cheese? It clouded our minds and we started eating before thinking!

We also share the mozzarella sticks that are gooey and come with a Napoli sauce. So delicious.

I would describe the pizzas as more American style than the Italian wood fired version. The base is still thin though. Whatever the style, it's darn delicious.
