Oh for sure you've got to get down to Bella Sicilia as soon as you get a chance. There are many…read moreindependent Italian/pizza restaurants and takeaways in Brisbane but this one could possibly be the best around. Well, from my experience of pizza places, it's definitely the best on the north side as far as consistency goes. If you're a fan of pizza, this place makes sure, whatever your expectations are, that they are met and surpassed. What makes the pizzas so good starts form the base. You can tell its home made, its crispy and not a victim of being dough overloaded. The sauce is thick and flavoursome and the toppings are exceptionally generous without becoming overkill. As simple as it sounds, my favourite pizza from Bella Sicilia is the traditional peperoni. It comes with some extra spices thrown on top with slivers of capsicum that bring out the saltiness of the meat. In reality, everything is great on the menu, trust me, I've tried it all and then some.

Our family are huge fans of Bella Sicilia and we order their pizzas at least once a week…read more Tonight we orderd a couple pizzas from there and found that the two pizzas we ordered did not have any base sauce on the ham and pineapple pizza and very limited sauce on the bbq chicken which made the pizza dry! Now i am big on customer service and believe in getting what you pay for so I called Bella Sicilia to give feedback on our pizzas and explained to them how dissapointed i was with the food as we are regular customers and usually the pizza is made well. They gave us the option to bring the pizzas back and make a new one but when each family member (7 of us) eat a piece each then there are only a few pieces left, how can you bring a pizza back??? Not to mention it is a Saturday night and i really shouldn't have to drive back to the shop because the staff cannot remember to put sauce on the pizza base. Very dissapointing! So i asked if we could receive a pizza the next time we come in and i am told ,"unfortunately we cannot do that ". I'm sorry but yes! ...as the owner you CAN do that. I paid money for a pizza that was supposed to be well made and came to your store to buy it when i could have gone else where.... very dissapointed with the customer service that was not offered from the owner of Bella sicilia.

The short: Affordable food for the family, with good kids options and huge coffees…read more The long: The whole family went down to the new North Lakes outlet after it was open for a week. I had The Star beef burger. Wife had the trio of sliders. Kids had Pizzas. The beef burger was excellent. Juicy, juicy patty and plenty of bacon. Bun was a little bit over toasted for me, but still edible. The chips that accompanied this dish were crispy and well-seasoned. The wife's sliders suffered from over-toasting as well. She wasn't all that impressed with the sliders, and suggested to me that perhaps Briosh buns would have fared better for these little bites. That aside, the three burgers had quite different tastes to them and were served with crisp, well-seasoned chips. The Kids had BBQ based pizzas: one ham and one chicken. I had to swap some chips out for a few slices of Pizza from my son, who managed to finish up one of these monsters. The chicken pizza was the winner over the ham. And unfortunately the bases were overcooked again. I reckon the grill/toaster was cranked up a bit high the day we visited. I passed on the feedback to the manager, who graciously accepted the feedback. It's early days for this outlet so I'll be back to try some more items out.

It's always been a bit hit and miss at this location, but last Saturday was ridiculous…read more One of our big breakfasts came without any eggs. I guess the chef forgot to put them on. When we asked for them and the poached eggs came out the yolks were hard and dry. My meal came with blackened charcoal sausages with ends that crumbled into ash when I touched them, and when I mentioned it to the waitress she said "that's how they are supposed to be. Pointing to the sausages on my partners breakfast which were cooked properly, i.e. not black, she said that they just hadn't been cooked as long...well, duh. My toast looked soggy & uncooked on the top so I turned it over to find more burnt blackness. I'm not sure if there is a new chef or they were just having a bad day, but unfortunately it was the worst meal I've had in years.

Bacon and eggs were just that with one piece of sourdough toast, although interestingly it wasn't rasher bacon, just 3 pieces of eye bacon. Service was friendly and I will probably go back, although if you are looking for bank for buck you would be better off going somewhere else.

I wish I could say the food was as good as it sounded. Sadly a standard favourite of mine- lasagna- was less than what I had hoped for. It tasted strange and wasn't like any lasagna I'd had before. Upon calling the restaurant to leave feedback, I was met with a cold 'Ok' upon saying my bit which was simply put as 'this food isn't edible to me'. I had hoped to have some returned feedback rather than this uncaring nature to my issue with the food. I can say their chips are nice and the Turkish bread isn't too bad either. Too bad the customer service left a bitter taste behind. I don't believe I will be dining with this place again, takeout or otherwise.

This fairly new cafe/ Restaurant was well worth the visit…read more I stopped in for some me time after a doctors appointment for some brunch and was pleased to see they do breakfast until 11am on Sundays! Eggs Benedict are one of my favourite breakfasts and they did there's very well, with creamy hollandaise on top of 2 perfectly poached eggs and ham, yum yum yum! on crunchy ciabatta that worked well at soaking up my yolk too. Coffee as well, of course, smooth blend though slightly bitter, very good, and definitely not burnt. Staff are friendly and welcoming with out being overly attentive (i hate being asked 10 times if 'everything is ok" ). Will visit again when I am back down that way.
