Have been a few times now and highly recommend the pizzas. Excellent!

The two sitting policy on fri and sat nights is ridiculous. If you get there early, you will be kicked out by 8 pm. Now thats fine if you are happy to eat with the young families at 6 pm, otherwise forget about a reasonable 7 or 7:30 pm dinner. If you're up for any early dinner, recommend you don't bring a large group expecting to stay for a long while.

We had the special pear salad, with only 4 slithers of pear hidden below a mountain of rocket. This was not special salad by any means. Really disappointed.
Also disappointed that the tiramisu still has frozen chunks in the middle. This hasn't changed for more than a year. Maybe we are still eating the same frozen batch? It tastes great, but crunchy ice is not nice.

The nutella pannacotta was fantastic along with the gelato. Made up for the poor salad and frozen tiramisu. If we come back it'll be for the pizza and pannacotta. Great coffee too.

I travelled out of my way to get take away pizza from here, because La Disfida was closed. The service was excellent and the pizza's were pretty good, albeit a bit salty. I would go back again, but still rate La Disfida more highly!

The best pizza restaurant in Sydney. All the ingredients are literally imported from Italy which is what makes the difference in the flavours, especially the cured meats and the italian buffalo mozzarella. I love the fact that there is no BYO too. The pizza bases do get soggy from on some pizza's, but the ingredients are just to die for.

I love this place and I go time and time again. This place is tucked away little place in Balmain. Make sure you book, and be prepared to be squashed in with everyone, but its is all worth it when you taste the Pizza. Made with simple but the best quality ingredients.

We had booked a table for 3 for my husband's birthday and arrived slightly early with 4 people. We were very rudely informed that we should have phoned to tell them of this last minute addition, our daughter, and that only a table for 3 was available. The woman behind the counter then said "What are you going to do about it?". We left as she was disobliging and unaccommodating.

Maybe I have been spoiled (some may say 'literally'!) by gourmet Australian pizzas that many Italians would consider sacrilegious, but I found the selection here a little restrictive. That said the pizzas were good, not great, but good. Perhaps, these really are the finest examples of Neapolitan pizza to be found in Sydney, but as a lay pizza critic I could, perhaps, have done with a little more flavour, a little more topping.

However, and here is where the points go up a notch, the Della Casa pizza was outstanding. As a fan of spicier pizzas this really hit the spot with delicious hot salami and Italian sausage topped by spinach and shaved parmesan. It even looked, dare I say, exciting! I'm not sure whether I broke Italian tradition by asking for a tomato base with this one, but for my several slices of pizza heaven I hope any unintentional offence can be overlooked. Good gelato too.

I really like this place, had dinner there recently on a Friday night at the early sitting (out by 8 pm they advised) and it was fully booked. There is a real bustle to the place and yes its noisy and yes its cramped. If you are after a romantic quiet dinner, this is not the place. But, if you are after a terrific pizza place with BYO everything (beer as well - love it), then this is the place for you.

We ordered just 3 of the pizzas, 2 off the specials menu. One was with figs and prosciutto, one with ham and something else. The other pizza was from the normal menu (called Della Casa) and it was sensational too, some hot-ish salami and mushrooms.

The crusts are super thin, tiny burnt bits and light on toppings but you can taste real ingredients, not plastic Dominos. Quality pizzas and the crowds reinforce that it is a winner, book in advance or you will miss the boat! Only major gripe is the long (and getting lost!) walk to the bathrooms, poorly lit and no signage. Other than that, $77 covered 3 hungry people and with BYO you won't blow the budget.

Loved the pizza! Absolutely delicious. We arrived quite late, so there wasn't much of a wait for a table and the atmosphere was at a nice murmur. Unfortunately, don't know much about value as it was a treat, but would be happy to pay above average prices for this quality of food. Although the waiters were quite inattentive at times, it was a very lovely night.

The best pizza in the inner west after all nothing left on Norton st. they tend to be a bit pushy at times and a little olive oil on the bruschetta pizza would be great! But the patate e salsiccia pizza is fantastic.
