    Amazing experience! I booked a spot for 18 people. The team were so accommodating! I called a few days earlier and they were able to seat us in a more private area. At no extra cost or minimum spend, it is incredible value here!

    Beautiful pizza and a nice setting outside under the fig tree. The staff are great - very friendly and switched on. Basic wine list, but we picked a nice SA Shiraz to drink with the really good pizza! It's a great place to pop into before or after an event - there are lots of event venues around there and it's well placed for that.

We had their chorizo cocktail, and they were even lovely enough to let us preview one of the cocktails coming on their new menu! A pina colada riff that was smooth and velvety Everything was absolutely incredible and we will definitely be back soon!
