Pizzeria

Maroochydore

About the restaurant

Tucked down a laneway, housed in an industrial building, you'll find our quirky pizzeria. Our vibe is super casual and we love to see our customers sharing pizzas, beers and enjoying life. Our space is ideal for large groups, but also for families and couples.

Were all about the pizza! Pizza Napoletana is authentic pizza from Naples, and we make it according to the generations-old technique....with just a little of our own twists here and there. Our dough is made in-house and fermented for a minimum of 24hrs to create a tasty and light base - minimal yeast so no bloating here. Then its hand-stretched, topped with quality ingredients imported from Italy AND sourced locally, and cooked at a fiery 400 degrees.

We do other stuff as well - starters, sharers, salads, homemade desserts, and gelato. Plus cocktails, imported and locally brewed beers, and some carefully selected wines from independent wineries.

About the restaurant

European Bar & Restaurant

Specialises in honest and uncomplicated European cuisine done well, Belgian beers, European wines, classic and house made cocktails.

Chef Alex Hughes honours our European traditions whilst celebrating the beautiful premium local produce that the Sunshine Coast has to offer.

"The interior alone is timeless, effortlessly sexy and does a fine job of solidifying this place as somewhere you’ll totally want to hang out. Basically, if we were to rate this place on the atmosphere alone, we’d be dishing up a big, fat 10."
