I have no idea how this point system works but it's still an amazing score! That is one thing that I will point out. The pizzas are pretty darn good. All the ingredients were definitely fresh. Bold flavours with subtle aftertastes and superb mouthfeel. We had the salt and pepper calamari for entree and it was one of the nicest I've every had. Better than at Jamie Oliver's restaurant. A bit on the pricey side but you pay for quality. I will be returning here again.

Extremely disappointing experience at Bondi Pizza Macquarie (Monday, 6th Oct)…read more Went in for a quick dinner before a movie and it was honestly one of the worst dining experiences I've had in a long time. We ordered two pumpkin salads, made it very clear (even held up two fingers), plus a glass of wine and a Pepsi. After waiting 40 minutes, only one salad came out -- and it was pathetic for almost $30: a tiny handful of rocket, two small cubes of pumpkin, and three tiny pieces of chicken. When we asked where the second salad was, the waiter said there was only one on the order. We reminded them we were short on time, and a staff member later told us the other salad would be another 5-10 minutes. We declined since we had to leave. Meanwhile, multiple staff kept bringing the wrong meals to our table, clearly lost. The manager's attitude was the worst part. While we were explaining the issue, she barely made eye contact, kept saying "yep, yep, yep" while filing menus, and offered no real apology or ownership. Her excuse? "We're busy." The place was half-empty, and staff behind the bar were chatting and drinking. All she offered was to remove the drinks from the bill -- which doesn't make up for terrible service, missing food, and total indifference. I manage a large clinic myself, and if any of my staff treated clients this way, there'd be immediate retraining. This experience ruined our evening and showed a complete lack of care, communication, and professionalism. Would not recommend Bondi Pizza Macquarie at all. Poor service, poor food, and a manager who couldn't care less.

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 :)

I absolutely love this place! It does pizza just like Italy. I had to look back at photos from when…read morewe were in Tuscany just to make sure I wasn't just making that up! Hubby and I come here at lease once a week for lunch and tonight we tried them out for dinner. Firstly, lunch. Pizzas and Paninis are the focus. They have $5 pizza - lunch size specials which have such soft chewy dough that we just love with fresh ingredients and lots of cheesy goodness on top. We usually end up ordering margherita and hot salami plus a Nutella calzone. The Nutella calzone fresh out of the oven can burn as you just can't wait to eat it but it is so good fresh! They do have some sitting there if you can't wait but you can have them make the pizzas to order. It takes all but 5 minutes most of the time to make the lunchtime size pizzas. Haven't had the chance to try their paninis but they are reasonably priced with it priced based on how many items you want on it. Dinner- this place is pumping at night! We didn't book but came in early for dinner (6pm!). I'd suggest to book as it is so popular! They have those metre pizzas if you're interested but as we have it all the time, we thought we'd try their specials. We weren't disappointed! They don't have a standard dinner menu, it seems it's either pizzas or their specials which is how we like it. Christian seems to have his specials based on produce availability which works for us! We had full 3 course menu as we couldn't help but want all the specials. Entrees- The prawns wrapped in speck just brought out the flavoursome freshness of the prawns. It also came with some bread. The calamari and zucchini fritters were well fried. Not too oily and light. We had Tuscan pasta (Fisarmoniche pasta - had to look it up as I'd never seen it before!) with speck, Gorgonzola cheese and walnut. Sounds odd but it worked. Well balanced flavours and tasty! We also had the spaghetti marinara which had some clams, mussels, prawn and scallops. Pasta was al dente and had the seafood saltiness to it. Delicious! We couldn't resist having dessert even though we were so full! We chose the Tuscan dessert special as it was something a bit different plus the Tiramisnu. Our usual pizza chef from lunch time sold it to us when we spoke to him earlier in the evening that Christian's wife had made the Tiramisu. The tiramisu was just awesome and I'd come back just for it. Looks like they had some you could take away! The Tuscan dessert had cantuccini (biscotti) and a fig/almond tart which was the tiniest slice I'd ever seen but it was very rich so tiny for a good reason! The biscotti wasn't too hard and just right for after dinner and went well with hubby's macchiato. Definately a great place and the staff are so friendly. Always feel welcomed to come here even when the place is pumping and busy!

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.

I get that dress codes and appropriate behaviour is expected and courteous in fancier joints but please, have a little faith that your customers understand social conventions rather than spelling it out like we're idiots. Mezza Via however has rules not for the customer but for themselves. And what a testament that is to their mission for greatness! Only the finest Italian "00" flour. Only Italian whole peeled tomatoes. Only Italian Fior Di Latte and Buffalo Mozzarella. All pizzas must be hand-stretched to order. (no rolling pins or dough rollers) No pizza will ever be pre-made. All pizza makers must be trained in Italian technique. And it pays off in the way of delightfully thin and crusty pizza bases with fluffy crusts. Mezza Via sticks to the Italian tradition of doing things simply but well, not overloading their pizzas with mounds of toppings. The Margherita DOP is without a doubt the best I've tasted outside of Italy, and the only place where the buffalo mozzarella hasn't been overcooked to the point where it's yellow and rubbery and you can no longer tell that it's fresh mozzarella. No, it's still white and moist and glorious! The table next to us almost had me in fits of jealousy when I saw their 2 metre pizza get carried to their table like a roman emperor. It looked beautifully cooked with nary a soggy crust in sight, which can be all too commonplace in other pizzerias that serve long pizzas and fail in the mammoth task of cooking such a large pizza properly. I'll be back again with a larger group and a stretchier pants.

So 10 points for being energetic and creative with a range that goes from lamb to seafood to pizza and everything in between! The only criticism would be the pizza base.
