Pizza e Birra
Editorial
Ah. The perfect combination; and put so simply with a nice little Italian twang. This isn't surprising, really, when the Italians are renowned for making the simple things the best, and Pizza e Birra does not disappoint. Oh no; after one slice and a swig of lager to wash it down with, you'll already be planning your next visit. Consistently abuzz with the Surry Hills crew, this eatery embodies a warm and welcoming atmosphere that encourages a jolly good feasting time, all thanks to co-owners Mauro Marcucci and Sabina Buoncompagni.
Gianni Cristiano, who can be seen kneading dough through a window into the kitchen, hails from Naples and follows the traditional method of pizza making. Consequently, authentically thin-crusted pizzas are the go here, however, there are lots of other Italian dishes to fill up your table. Allow for some potato and pecorino crochettes and a couple of arincini balls to roll your way as you leaf through the beer list - of which there are several Australian and Italian to choose from. The wine list, too, is equally as appealing. Many of the dishes are presented regally upon a raised frame allowing you to fit even more food on your table so nibble on some olives perhaps as you await the main course. Tuck into a pizza topped with your favourite fresh ingredients such as buffalo mozzarella, basil, cured meats, and tomato - the calzones are also brilliant.
