Site Pizza Bar

Had a craving for Italian and heard good things about Site Pizza so headed down there for dinner. Bright atmosphere with some cool vespa’s out the front in true Italian style. Greeted by the lovely owner and introduced to the specials of the night, so many to choose from; arancini, salt and pepper prawns, pumpkin soup, beef cheeks and much more. There is also an extensive menu offering salads, entrée’s mains including veal, chicken, fish and chips etc and about 20 different pizza and pasta options. They are licensed and had a wide selection of Italian beers and wines. I wanted a white wine and was suggested the unwooded chardonnay, a very good choice! For the food, we were hungry and in the mood for a bit of everything so ordered a few of the specials, and had to get the garlic pizza of course.
We started with the soft shell crab, lovely flavour with a light tempura batter, sitting on rocket, some cabbage with aioli. Although not usually a fan of soft shell crab, this was delicious and I very much enjoyed it!
We then had the arancini which was a pumpkin and fetta and shallot flavour, crisp outer layer filled with tasty risotto. Generous 4 piece serving at a low price.
The carpacchio was proabably one of my favourite dishes of the night, although simple, it was done well with fresh ingredients, thin beef, rocket, parmesan and a quality extra virgin olive oil drizzled. The beef had a great texture that melted in your mouth.
For the main we chose the slipper bug (similar to a Balmain bug), pan fried with butter and garlic, not overcomplicating things — the way seafood should be done, side of salad and chips.
Given we were at a restaurant called ‘Site Pizza’, we had to order a pizza. On the suggestion of the waiter, we went with the Capricciosa; a thin pizza base with a generous topping of Italian sausage, ham, mushrooms, mozzarella, oregano, parsley and to give it a bit of a kick, some chilli flakes. Medium size — great for us considering the fact we’d ordered some other things already.
The hospitality provided was relaxed and friendly and informative, which is reflective of the owner, making a clear effort to engage with the customers. From the vibe in the room, seemed like a lot of regulars or returning customers there and probably due to the good service and high quality of the food.
Had a great meal and experience there and I’ll definitely go back for more and to try more, and of course; the Nutella calzone — just too full to fit it in tonight!

Pizzas were just ok. I wouldn’t return for them as I make better at home. Nice thin base but bit too much cheese. and too many toppings. Also over powering dried oregano .I had a specials board pizza of pulled pork that might as well of been strips of baon as I didn’t get a pulled pork taste amongst the other flavours such as thick slices of potato. Pasta was ok but nothing special. Real shame as good beer list and great service and location. I’m pretty fussy about pizza though… you should probably check them out yourself

New to the area and right up the street from that amazing Little Bay beach. Fantastic pizza with quality ingredients. They deliver too!
