Soul Pizza was recommended to me by a friend recently, and while I'm not the biggest pizza eater, I…read moredo enjoy a good pizza once in a while. Since he, as well as all the reviews that I had seen claimed that this place was the best pizza in Brisbane, a few of us decided to go out and grab some for dinner. Like any other pizza joint, Soul Pizza has the plastic benches and stools for seats - nothing too fancy. There's a mural on one wall, but don't be expecting a comfy restaurant, cause it's all about the pizza! The pizzas aren't gourmet pizzas, with fancy ingredients like hand-shaven parmesan, arugula, and the like - but they are humongous and generously filled with toppings. For about $15, you can feed a good four people! The crust isn't thin-crust, but is a good thickness and texture, though a bit difficult to handle with one hand. They offer a variety of choices, including their own creations... I had the Porto Peri (15), which was a bit too spicy for me, and the spiciness covered up the flavour of everything else, which I kind of didn't enjoy. It could have used a bit more of another spice. I also got to try the BBQ Hog Fest (17), which is topped with lots of meat and a BBQ sauce. It's apparently the most popular one! I enjoyed it better than the Porto Peri, as the flavour of the toppings weren't masked by the sauce. Though these weren't the best pizza I've ever had, they seem to be consistent, and are definitely good for the value.

Really big and satisfying pizzas. Full of flavor. Highly…read morerecommend this place when you want a fancier than usual pizza. Aussie Aussie one has egg, bacon, garlic. Definitely tastes like Australia bc of the Australia bacon. Satisfying and affordable. Price is around 15$ for a 12inch size so it's good for sharing for two or three people. I've eaten a whole 9inch one alone but it did take some effort. Casual dine in our take out. There are tables outside in the courtyard which is nice on days with good weather. And not right on traffic either so it's a plus.

I went with a Funghi, which is usually a risky order as I like mushrooms but white pizzas can be bland. But this was a really good mushroom pizza, perhaps the best of its ilk I've had. The mushrooms were varied in character and cooked to a point of desirable softness, and some onions and creative cheese mixing kept the whole thing quite lively. The crust bubbled up in a way that was almost, dare I say, American. Their menu is limited and their prices substantial, but it was tasty enough that I would definitely want to come back again for a red pizza.

Nothing beats a proper wood-fired pizza crust, which is what they do here in their special Italian made oven. My fav is their Diavola--lots of flavor.

Took us a while to figure out where we were and how to get there. Actually not hard at all. We arrived and it was very crowded. Luckily we got a seat in the corner by a window close to the action(the kitchen where the pizzas were cooked). A few slices of focaccia were served with olive oil prior to our pizza and its was wonderful. Then the main event arrived and it was beautiful. And it tasted equally as great. The sausage pizza with arugula. It was awesome. Might want to make a reservation for this great place. Its is very popular. Highly recommend the sausage pizza.

The service here was quick and good and the ambiance is really cute for a date night. The hubs and I really enjoyed thoroughly. For food we ordered: * Salscicca Pizza - this had sausages and arugula which was delicious and refreshing and came with 6 slices * Fried Calamari - this was absolutely DELICIOUS, super soft and tender - this is a must get here *Vanilla Pana Cotta - this came with poaches pear, hazelnuts & caramel sauce which was delicious Overall, great food and felt very fresh. Would definitely recommend to check this place out!

Although on the other side of town, Beccofino is much like its spin-off restaurant Julius. Both…read moreoccupy prominent corners and offer a fairly refined, adult atmosphere (though you can bring kids if you've got money to burn). Both offer thin crust pizzas, whose highlight I think is the sauce, and both offer a round of expensive sides and desserts to fill you up. Both are likely to please most diners (unless you've got gluten or dairy issues, in which case Italian is never going to be your friend). I ordered a margherita, and frankly, I liked it at least as much as the slightly more expensive pizza with buffalo mozzarella at Julius. In the interest of getting some decent nutrition, I ordered a sauteed beans and greens side, and was fairly pleased to discover that it was heavy on the beans. I wish Italian places did more with beans; there are some great ones available. All told, I wish their menu had a little bit more on the vegetarian side, but what they do is executed well, and for an occasional splurge, it's a nice place.

Ciccio's is only a 5 minute walk from where I am but this was the first time I actually went there…read more Our group of three was seated quickly and service was prompt and efficient, although this may have been helped by the fact it seemed to be a slow night. I had the pappardelle truffle and I quite enjoyed it. It had a nice balance of sauce to pasta, although this is always open to everyone's own preferences. I also had the tiramisu dessert which was good. I think Ciccio's is a pretty good option if you're in the area and want a good meal without having to deal with too much of the additional things a higher level dining experience might require of you.

With family visiting from Victoria I went in search of an Italian restaurant in the city which was…read morekid friendly and yet served high quality and authentic dishes. I narrowed it down to two and mentioned the options to my future sister-in-law. They had actually gone to Ciccio's the night before with friends and were keen to go back because it was so good - you can't get a better recommendation than that.. We started with pizza breads, a lovely crisp roast garlic thin crust pizza cut into 6 generous slices each. The Gnocchi al forno was a deliciously cheesy entree with perfectly cooked gnocchi in a tapas style ceramic dish. I will definitely be ordering this the next time I visit Ciccio's. The Parpadelle with slow roasted beef cheek was lovely and tender and it came with a slice of crusty bread to mop up the delicious sauce. The Gnocchi della casa had crispy cubes of pancetta and the gnocchi was perfectly cooked and then lightly pan fried so it was crispy and delicious. I definitely recommend Ciccio's and will be heading back. They also have a supper club downstairs which can be booked for private functions or if you just want a more intimate setting for your next special occasion

So, the other week I ordered two pizzas for delivery on my way home from an event. They were at my house in 15 minutes. Boom. Another night we had pizzas and they screwed up. We ordered thin bases, they gave us normal. It was a drama. I called them and explained that we had ordered the thin bases due to someone who was slightly gluten intolerant. They sent us two GF pizzas for free. It was like a huge pizza party and they handled it super well. Every time I've ordered from there (and I'm not divulging that number to you, may I add) every pizza has arrived quickly, hot and presented well. For an easy, comforting, totally bad for you pizza, these guys are nailing it.

They had a DJ in earlier, got to hear a few sings before she finished for the night. Seated immediately by host and given a menu. Server came by within a few minutes to take my order. Ordered the salted caramel martini and the Craftsman pizza on a gluten free base. Drink came out within 4 minutes but at only 2/3 full vs to the rim or close to the rim. Salted caramel martini is tasty. So what sweet but not cloyingly. Pizza came out about 8 minutes later. That should have been my first clue. Top seems cooked but base was spongy. I considered asking them to cook it longer but never saw my server again except when she took and delivered orders to the tables near me. Hardly any toppings and the tender potato slices were raw. Bummer because I was excited and looking forward to the pizza as we have similar one at a pizza place near me but they can't do a gluten free crust. I would have order a second, even a third martini but Katherine never came to check on me. Never asked how my food was or if I wanted another drink. I ate half my pizza and sat for 30 minutes without seeing Katherine again before I flagged another employee down to ask for a takeaway box. To pay, you go up to the bar. Maybe it's a good thing that my server never checked on me because my tab was only $57.50 - $.50 when you use a credit card to pay even though they are cashless. You can avoid the fee if you pay by debt. Had she checked on me I would have ordered another martini. So instead of a bill of $80, she saved me $23. Would I come back again? Not sure. East location to find. The other employees were on top of it. So maybe Katherine was having a bad day or ... but I got shorted on my $$ drink and the gluten free pizza wasn't cooked enough.
