Had Take-out with the wife a few times at this place after going off what I read on here, very good pizzas, maybe a little pricey but well worth it. Will be going back.
The best flavoursome pizzas in town with no questions at all! Chicken, cheese and garlic pizza with a extra bit of chilli was a sensational pizza. Tried the chicken boscoila and it was just magnificent. Service at times is slow being an ordinary place but the pizzas are the best!
Exceptional food! The Pastas are world class and the pizzas are perfect! The gluten free pizzas are the best my mother has ever had. We have dined in or had take away almost every Sunday night for the last 2 years! and ordered large numbers of take away pizzas for the tail enders at 21sts and other large family gatherings at our home, always a hit and now an expectation! I can see "Angelo's" as we call it, being a staple in our family's life for years to come.
Angelo and his family treat all their guests as if they were family, the restaurant is small but so inviting.
A place we always go to, Angelo and his food delicious but one night when me and the family went for a meal, a man not Angelo telling us to leave when it's only 8:00. We were shocked and disappointed with the bad service.
Besides that the place has a great value for food, but requires help on decor and ambience which does low down efficiency levels. Not the best atmosphere to go to.
The pizzas here are so delicious, and Angelo and his staff are always friendly! The restaurant is a little small and bare, but you could always get takeaway, besides, the small restaurant means less noise!
This is not fine dinning, but the pizza's are authentic, and great value for money. I've worked in Hornsby for 10 years and Zi-Teresa have the best pizza's that I've found in the area. Don't let the simple "ambience" put you off, you can always take your pizza with you. Don't get enticed by the fancy looking places on the "other" side of the railway. Your taste buds with thank you.
Angelo and his family are great hosts they try and make you feel part of the family always very welcoming but at times especially on Friday nights when very busy have to have little patience but well worth waiting for. The pizzas are the best we’ve tasted and his pastas are very tasty especially the marinara. The place is very cosy and the Italian music is wonderful. We highly recommend it; it’s our kid’s favourite eating place.
The pizza is mediocre, the ambience? what ambience, it is almost as greasy and sleasy. I could stomach the pizza. I have been there a couple of times but only to takeaway, I would never eat in. I am sure it only stays open because of the drunks that frequently wobble in for some grub.
I have had pizzas from Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney, from Assisi to Amalfi, from Zaragossa to Madrid, in Naples and Sorrento, but none better than this restaurant. Angelo has owned Zi Teresa sinca at least 1981, and we have been regular (on average once every 3-4 weeks) visitors over all those years. In fact apart from the quality of the pizzas themselves, a visit to Angelos is like a visit to your local Italian village.
Everyone knows everyone, and every regular knows a good pizza, including one person who is in the gourmet food business. All of our friends we have introduced to it over the years have become regulars too, if they live close enough. We have our favorite pizzas, and we don't deviate from them often. Marinara, using Angelo's own seafood mix, Margarita a purist's delight, and Supreme, which we have called "Green" for about ten years, because we have extra green capsicum.
Angelo cooks them to your specs if you want. For us that means a crust slightly Crisp on the outside, still a bit fluffy on the inside, the whole slightly underdone, so that the original juiciest of the ingredients is retained. Don't expect the Ritz when you visit Zi Teresa, but expect the best!
Food was moderate but service was absolutely appalling. They forgot our booking to start, then we waited an hour and a half just for an entree without even an apology for how long it took. Staff were rude and didn't even get cutlery till we went and got it ourselves!!
