He's genuinely Italian (not like those awful fake Italians that seem to be everywhere you look these days) and is chronically happy in the most relaxed and infectious way. And hells, why wouldn't he be when he's blessed with the God-given talent to create the most awe-inspiringly, pants-wettingly delicious pizzas in Sydney? You may guess from that little paean that this is my go-to 'za joint and you'd guess right. None of this pan base crap. No bike wheel-thin, brittle dough with an artisan scraping of tomato sauce and three pieces of gourmet pepperoni. These bad boys are dripping with love and quality toppings, stacked high with colour and juice and topped with tasty cheese and chilli flakes and those ace little Italian anchovies I can't get enough of. My fave is The Special with pretty much everything and the kitchen sink on it. But NO PINEAPPLE. God help you if you order pineapple on a pizza. What are we, Polynesian cavemen? It's cheap, too. 2 families feeds three of us with lunch left over the next day. Boom. All hail Antos, king of pizza parlours!

The traffic was loud but we were still able to have a conversation. Whilst the restaurant was reasonably busy, we were not hurried by the wait staff. One of our party had the gnocchi and it was good. The three remaining had a share of three round pizzas. There were metre long pizzas at other tables but we decided to do the traditional. The pizzas were not overloaded with filling and the crusts were tough but edible. We joked with the waiter about the Fantasy pizza being made of leftovers. We are still in the dark as to what was the topping, but it was good. The Diavola was nicely hot. The three of us were able to polish off all three pizzas. On another table with eight people, two one metre long pizzas resulted in leftovers. I don't think they were trying hard enough as three of the group were schoolboys. The 50cm pizza can have two toppings and the one metre can have three toppings. An antipasti plate was delivered to another table and it looked pretty good too. They followed that with a metre long pizza. I would certainly be back for lunch but I have been assured there are queues of an evening for this place.

We are repeat customers at Pizza Olla - whether it be takeaway or dining at the restaurant itself. The pizzas are authentic, with fresh ingredients and lots of flavour. The staff are incredibly friendly which is a testament to the busy restaurant- whether it is a weekday or weeknight. Pizza Olla also offers pasta, salads and other treats on the menu including dessert. BYO is also welcome. While the pizzas are more expensive than the chain stores such as Dominoes down the road, the pizza is significantly better and is well worth the extra money. Pizza Olla is excellent value for money. Try the pizzas with thin, crispy crust- its yummy!

I can highly recommend the Ras El Hanout (Chicken breast marinated in 'top of the house' Morroccan spice, with Roma Tomato and Grilled Eggplant topped with Sesame seeds and Rocket) - which has just about all my favourite toppings on one delicious pizza.

They only have one size, which is the large which averages around $25 each. Every Monday, their pizzas are $15 which I think is a bargain for such tasty and quality pizzas. I highly recommend this place.

I went late one night on my way home from work and it was the only thing open (the family normally eats dinner in the shop afterwards and leave the "OPEN" light on, and are happy to serve customers). Now I get lunch or dinner from them at least once a week. I've never tried their pizzas but a family friend drives 20 minutes past dozens of other pizza places to have their prawn marinara. Now why in haven't I tried their pizzas?? Because I can't get past the wraps- especially the felafel wraps!! OMG! melt in your mouth, homemade, cooked to order felafel. These are served on a wrap with gluten free home made tabouli, hummos, tomato and home pickled turnip (I pass on the latter). At $8 it is huge and I would pay $10 easily. Because sometimes the oil has to be heated for the felafel it can take about 10mins or so, so I often ring through my order. The lamb and chicken etc take less time and are also beautifully cooked. They also make lebanese pastries if you have a sweet tooth The have recently refurbished the interior and exterior, I can see how some would be put off by the (old) appearance, but Joe and his wife are wonderful, the place is clean and the food is delicious, fresh and homemade...
