Anema E Core is a little restaurant (there is only two tables inside opposite their massive coffee machine and their indoor wood fired pizza oven, the rest of the tables are outside and with the weather being rainy they were not set up yet. We ordered the 4 Formaggi (Gorgonzola, Smoked buffalo Mozzarella, fiordilatte, Shaved Parmesan, basil,olive oil) Crudo E Rucola ( Rocket, prosciutto, shaved Parmesan, basil, olive oil) and for dessert the Nutella pizza all for takeaway. The base is ridiculously soft! I am in heaven. Nom nom nom I love this place! Staff are friendly and the chefs have a think Italian accent which adds to the authenticity of this tiny restaurant. We have booked to go again this Sunday, looking forward to trying their other pizzas and the coffee! Ciao :)

After reading great things about Anema E Core on the internet. I decide to head there to judge for…read moremyself. Anema E Core is located in Meadowbank, right next to the station. It's a small restaurant with a pizza oven but they mount massive tents outside which is where the customers sit. I was concerned that it would be cold in the tent but they had heaters heating up the massive tents. Although the weather is warm and cold at the moment!! Anema E Core is really busy so I recommend you book beforehand.I have read wonderful things about how great their pizza is so I was eager to check it out. The table next to us orders a metre long pizza which looks spectacular. I order the "081" pizza which has a tomato base with mozzarella, ham, mild salami, ricotta, black pepper with basil and olive oil. The pizza came out so quickly and looked amazing. What an efficient kitchen Anema E Core has.The base is nice and doughy. The toppings are basic but come well together like real authentic pizza. I would strongly endorse their pizzas!! Yummo. I also order some dessert including the Nutella donut ( $7). It's quite a sizeable donut, comparable to a small cake. The donut is cut in half with nutella. It's topped with a bit of cream, strawberries, icing sugar and drizzled with more chocolate. Yummo. I love nutella so this donut went down like a treat. woot woot. $7 is also a nice price tag.

My normal pizza is a supreme (No anchovies) and every time I have had it it's been hot, tasty and covered with fresh ingredients. Occasionally I get a salad and they are made on the spot and very filling. No half measures here. I found this place by chance when I moved into Meadowbank and have become a regular. I highly recommend it.

Also, I learned it's a family business, always showing much about the spirit To be noted currently it's not possible to eat it, but made to go (or delivery) Thar being said, they have lots of food options, the regular savory pizza (traditional, classic, gourmet, vegetarian, chicken, seafood...), but also dessert pizza, calzone, salad, pasta, gelato... I went for the shoreline (seafood) pizza, which came with garlic marinated prawns, baby octopus, scallops, bocconcini (mozzarella), semi dried tomatoes, garnished with mixed herbs, and served with a wedge of lemon. As far as my memory goes, the best combo of ingredients I've ever seen on a pizza, what a brillant idea, loved it! No wonder when I brought him home to share with the friend I was staying with she told me not only this was the pizza place she was going to, but that this shoreline pizza actually was her favorite, not just a crazy coincidence I believe, but another proof of their good work! Highly recommended!

The best pizza place in the West Ryde area. I love how they named their specialty pizzas after…read moreplaces and roads in the Ryde area. My favourites so far are the Constitution and the Buffalo. Their pizza crust is delicious, one of the best I've had from pizza places of this kind. They are a bit on the expensive side when compared to Domino's or Pizza Hut, but in the same range as Crust Pizza and tastes better too! Crust used to be my favourite in our area but they have now been topped by Secret Slice. They also offer pasta dishes, salads and dessert, and they have a nice and cosy eat in area for casual dinners with family or friends. They are open 7 days a week but only for dinner.

This is a local place for me here and I have been pleasantly surprised every time I have visited. I…read morehave been here three times with family and a group of friends. The food is very fresh and well presented. There is plenty of flavour and there is a good range of food and prices. Although we were there for lunch this time we picked a variety of food from the menu. I loved the entree to share, oil soaked cooked black olives.This goes very well with their crispy garlic bread. We each had a different main. Mine was the seafood marinara. I was taken back by the amount of seafood in the dish and how large the servings were. This dish could feed a family. Everyone was happy with their food and the drinks were readily on supply. It was a very hot day and the staff kept supplying us with cold water. Now I could say this was an excellent but on a vey hot day their air conditioning was not coping very well. Just something to be aware of. The staff were excellent!! This little place also does a breakfast menu and as I walked past today the waiter came up full of smiles. I love when you re visit a place and the waiter remembers your name. He was front of house for the business and he has my vote to visit again....( oh am I going red!) We'll see next time when I have a meal there for one! ha

I have to write this review because I love pizza- and what they serve here at Crust in West Ryde is…read morenot even close to what it should be. I know that Crust is a chain or franchise, but I wonder how they have grown their business serving the worst version of Margherita pizza I have ever tasted. They should be ashamed to serve something like that when the frozen pizzas at your local supermarket taste better- and for me to say that, well ... it was that bad. Honestly,I didn't pay for the takeaway last night, and it was a treat for someone to shout us pizza.I ate 5 slices from four different pizzas as I was hungry, but looking back, there was only one that was worthy of positive feedback- Quatro Salumi-there was enough spicy salami to make my mouth happy, but the promised buffalo mozzarella and cherry tomato were only an afterthought and only put on top for colour. We had a pizza with rocket on top -the rocket should have been in a ziplock bag or container so that the rocket was eaten fresh instead of shrivelled up on top of the pizza.The staff at this place obviously do not eat rocket or they would already know this- customers must complain everyday about this.The other two pizzas were poor examples of what pizza should be. The three children that had the last two thought they were okay so maybe I am not in their target market group. Rather than going on like I already have, I will just finish by saying that I have never spent a dollar at Crust and will never do so. If I want a quick pizza delivered , their competition will be a better choice for me.And just because a restaurant puts the word "gourmet" in their business name, doesn't mean they will fullfill your expectations!
