Have you always wanted to go to Italy, to taste the true, authentic pizza that the country is known for...but haven't made it there yet? What if I told you, that you could have a taste of authentic Italian pizza right here in Adelaide?
Introducing Antica Pizzeria ladies and gentleberries! I have been to Italy before and had that authentic pizza, and Friday night I was transported back overseas.
Popped in here on a Friday night and it was so busy! We were lucky to get a table without making a booking, so on a Friday or Saturday I would suggesting giving them a call first.
My boyfriend and I decided to share a pizza, because they looked MASSIVE and we were trying to save a bit of money. We ordered a plain and simple Margherita. The service was fantastic - quick, attentive (but not too much) and friendly - and the speed the pizza came out was awesome.
They have a large wood oven and prep area in open view to the restaurant patrons which I liked, because you see the delicious dough being kneaded and spun around into a pizza. We sat inside but there are tables outside as well, with those lovely outdoor heaters.
They did cut the pizza into slices, which isn't technically very authentic (everywhere in Italy leaves the pizzas whole and unsliced) but it does make eating it a lot easier. The Margherita was delicious, simple but full of flavour. I loved the pizza base, hands down one of the better bases I have had in Adelaide.
Halfway through the pizza my man decided that this was delicious and he was hungry for more - so he ordered a second pizza, this time going for the Bosciola, which is a pizza with leg ham, mushrooms and tomato I think from memory. We also decided to grab a beer and a glass of wine for me. All up the dinner and drinks for two was $54, which I was more than happy to pay. Yes you can get cheaper pizza elsewhere, but the quality of this pizza and the quality of the service, I think $27 for an entire huge pizza and a drink is pretty reasonable.
They also do takeaway....which I will be taking advantage of. Yes indeeedy. read more
