Pizza baby!!! I've…read morebeen to those cities that never close down but this is still better than the pizza in Roma town. In my opinion it is better than most of the chains and hey, I was a Pizza Hut kid so I totally know what I'm talking about! I'm here to tell you that you cannot go past the Ham & Mushroom - add some red capsicum to that and you have one happy pizza. The pan sizing is pretty big too, you can get a large, family or party size, and I don't know about you guys but I prefer a generous, fluffy base rather than a thin pan: I want a pizza, not a biscuit, which is exactly what their lovely staff deliver! Dining in isn't a big occasion here, the space isn't really designed for families larger than four so it's lucky that takeaway is an option. The locals tend to refer to this place as 'Aldgate Pizza' rather than 'Aldgate Cafe'. in fact its only recently that I even discovered its true name, so if you are wanting to place and order abut you don't have the number - don't be like me and get into an argument with the person on the other end of the directory line when they tell you that Aldgate Pizza doesn't exist! because it is foremost a cafe, they just happen to make awesome pizza.

Takeaway pizza review:…read more This little nugget of legendary Hills food takeaway joints has eluded me for many years. Until 2015. I had the good fortune of swinging past the Aldgate café on my way home from a friend's place one Sunday evening a few weeks ago when my partner said 'Feel like pizza tonight?' to which I smugly retorted 'Do furry ursidae defecate in wooded areas?' That was a couple of months ago, and I'd forgotten how good the pizzas were. But again this Saturday eve, the question of whether I felt like pizza for tea was raised once again, and once more I answered like a smart alec. So we phoned up the Aldgate café and ordered a medium Mexican and a thai chicken pizza. Simple enough...until it came time to actually finish eating what we'd ordered! These pizzas were dynamite! So filling, and so so SSOOO tasty! I don't normally leave leftovers, but I had no choice. And it was still tasty the next day (feel free to hit me up for my leftover pizza reheating technique - guaranteed flavour country). The range of available styles is great, and the service was quick, for both delivery and in-store ordering. Don't miss this place if you're in or around the hills. It's tucked in amongst a few other shops, so it's easy to shoot past and not catch it, but it is a worthwhile food experience. They also have an affordable and decent range of drinks/wines inhouse.

Dear Reader, I found the staff struggled to evaluate the…read moreneeds and requirements of many customers in the store: I've been multiple times and have this to be true across the board: staff often don't ask enough questions of customers and are reluctant to be friendly. It doesn't help that the noise pollution inside is so loud; sometimes you have to be leaning over the counter to hear what the staff are saying. With regards to food: the pizza quality is fairly decent--when compared to other pizzas and pizza places it's quality would often be described as standard.

First of all, a large pizza is $9.90, this is one of their main marketing ploys. I came in here to…read morebuy a pizza when I was drunkenly hungry and they told me that the minimum on card was $20. Ahhh, don't think so guys, stop trying to cheat me out of more money just because I don't carry cash, no one carries cash. So I walked out. I wasn't missing out on much anyhow, Bubba's Pizza is like eating a piece of cardboard with a few shreds of cheese and a mushroom, you can get pizza ten times as good as this down the road. Cheapskates come here when they can't be bothered cooking but they need to feed the kids, it's like eating a biscuit with some oregano sprinkled on it. You can eat in but that is a dining experience I would avoid if I were you, no atmosphere to speak of, take your cardboard elsewhere, even if it's just to the park across the road. Not entirely satisfying, everyone.

Woodbake Oven is located in the heart of Stirling. It is a bakery of sorts that offers a pizza…read moretrade on Wednesday evenings. This store is really famous for it's bread, baguettes and tarts. The bread sold here is really fresh, crisp and fluffy. It is more of a French style of cooking bread. It is really lovely! They sell pre-made baguettes for lunch trade that look amazing. I have yet to try one, but there is always a line at lunch. Apart from the bread, I have tried their pizzas a couple of times. The toppings offered are not complicated. A few ingredients is all that is needed. I feel for this store it is more about the base than what is on top of it. The base is cooked really well. Nice thickness and it is crispier than other bases I have had. If you want more on your pizza you have the option of adding more toppings. As for the desserts, they are divine. The pastries are perfection and fillings deliciously naughty. Perfect for a treat for the weekend. A lovely couple own this store and are very welcoming and happy to help. They really look after you and make you feel welcome. So, if you are after a bread stick, pizza or dessert head to Woodbake and give them a go!

To review Woodbake, you can't just review their pizzas, and it is a shame that this place is listed…read moreas "Woodbake Pizzas" on some sites; so I'll give a run down of the rest of the business before I do that. According to my sources, Chris Broadfoot trained under famous French Chef Paul Bocuse and therefore knows what he's doing. When you enter the shop, you are usually greeted by Chris' partner Nancy who is lovely and very accommodating. As I've only been there at night I haven't seen everything that they offer, but what I have seen is great bread, pastries, and savoury and sweet tarts. Chris is always behind the counter preparing some baked good and getting it ready to go into the wood oven at the back corner of the shop and dresses like a traditional French baker. The pizzas are fairly minimal, but you can add extra toppings. They are a bit pricey, as is most of his products, but they are the highest quality and I always enjoy everything I buy from Woodbake.

I'm so glad that I finally remembered to give the small business a try - their menu is extensive, the pizza sizes are better value than chain pizza places and over ordering from there a few times, the product is always of a high standard and tastes absolutely amazing.

It was upon stepping into this modest looking deli with fluro lighting, 50s vinyl chairs and plastic tables, random cooking equipment scattered around and big, black and white pictures of beautiful Italians with "I love Napoli" written on them hanging on the wall that I felt like I had returned to a pizza shop from the mother land. Walk out through the kitchen to toilet at the back of the shop and you might trip on a bag of pizza flour on way but don't worry, the lino floors will protect your fall. Enough about the interior, that doesn't really matter. In traditional fashion, the star of the show is the hand made blackened pizza oven sitting in the middle of the shop serving up damn good WOG Pizza. We thought we'd be modest an just order one 12 inch Frutti di Mare (seafood) and a bottle of wine to share (funnily enough sipped out of those promo wine cups that you collect from various wine events and functions over the years). But after devouring this crispy based, sweet tomato sauce covered, melt in your mouth seafood pizza we decided we couldn't stop at one. The Truff Truff was next - a creamy, cheesy base of truffle oil, cheese, dried mediterranean herbs and more cheese. Forget manners, there's no forks or plates here and the owner really couldn't care less if you came in or not. He does what he loves and I think even if there were no customers in store he would be happy. The girls on the floor are friendly but really, who needs to make small talk when all you want to do is finish off 2 large pizzas in 30 minutes and then roll home?

(But ask for a salad and they'll make you one). Great beers and Italian wines (by the bottle only but you can take the rest home). This wonderful simple and charming little gem serves up fantastic wood oven pizzas and isn't trying to do anything else. Not salty or oily, with a very light airy wood oven crust topped with buffalo Di mozarella, prosciutto or whatever you like from the menu. And randomly in the back streets of Campbelltown (which isn't so bad not being on a main road as thru have a cool outdoor area out the front).

We managed to snag a Sunday night reservation, make sure to make reservations as this restaurant is quite small. The building is actually a converted church, that has beautiful paintings on the walls and ceilings. The staff were incredibly friendly, there were plenty of pizza options on the menu, I opted for the ole Smokey, and loved it. I also got a glass of local wine. Not to mention, the food came out quickly. Only wish I got to see the beauty of Lost In a Forest during the day. Worth a visit!

Having moved to Adelaide from Melbourne in 2011 one of the hardest things I found about moving to a…read morenew town was loosing a long list of tried and tested to places to eat which I had in Melbourne. That's not suggesting Melbourne food is better then Adelaide rather I had no idea where the best spots are in my new home town. Pizza was a category that I tried and tried many a places but never found the right fit. Before Speranza opened I was going to Pedros around the corner from this place which is ok but not great (6/10). Back on Speranza The wood fire pizzas are great and staff very friendly. Pricing is at the high end but it's genuine wood fire pizza so you need to expect that. I highly recommend the belissima and "the lot" (supreme). I would personally stay away from chicken as I found the chicken breast to be dry however please don't let this put you off this great little place. The shop itself does have some basic seating however I would recommend it is better suited to take away. Overall I rate 5 stars (9/10) over 20 odd visits.

In terms of product, hit and miss. I really didn't like the tandoori chicken pizza, though my…read morepartner didn't mind the flavour. I always prefer seeing sliced or shredded chicken on a pizza, rather than chicken cubes (probably the result of working for a takeaway pizza franchise during my teenage years). The pizza bases were quite thick the first time we purchased from this place but much thinner last time. They don't do your standard garlic bread (ie garlic buttered baguette), which disappointed a couple of my friends. When we picked up our pizzas and went to pay by credit card we were asked to pay with cash and had to walk to the ATM (their credit card facilities weren't down - they just wanted cash payment). Not bad but definitely room for improvement.

Consequently here we are! I came, I tried it, I came back home... and here I am... The staff are very friendly, and very welcoming when you come in. After ordering, for the first time I was asked if I wanted to add any extra toppings. Seriously, a lot of places offer this service, but rarely are you ever asked about it. You may think it's a small thing, but it stuck in my mind. The wait time felt a little long, but I did go at a busy time. When the pizza arrived it was amazing. The drive home was a hard one, and biting into the pizza, the first thing I noticed was the dough. What did they do to the dough? It's magnificent! Maybe they did nothing, maybe it was supplied to them that way. Either way, it was really good. The toppings were plentiful and the cheese was nice. The sauces used had a bit of bite to them, just the way I like it. It was recommended to me, and I recommend it to you too.

He asked me what my major in University was (which was Psychology), and he jokingly replied, "So you've come to analyse me!" He made me smile with that one. And I noticed he jokes around with every customer and co-worker! But seriously, do they know how to make pizzas properly! (Awww...man this dough and meat is fresh and soft, not like the try-hard local stores who end up making it hard to eat!) If you're looking for a delicious and authentic Italian-made pizza with fresh dough and toppings that should be expected in Italian pizza, than you can take Salvatore's Slice of Italy's name, which is a genuine original Italian name, and turn it into "The Freshest and Softest Pizza in Adelaide" - especially after you wash a slice or two down with a couple of cans of soft drinks! The chef was so friendly, when I asked what the gorgeous photos on his wall came from, he told me stories of his trips overseas back home to the beautiful pristine islands of Italy, and all his cousins. He said his uncles from Italy were the ones who taught him how to make pizzas for life. I love immigrants who never forget where they came from, or apply what they learnt in their younger years to run a successful business or job for the rest of their life. Look for the colourful Italian flag colours of green, white and red at the front to guide your way. Anyway - just find this place. You will not be disappointed...There's even some other fascinating shops right next door!
