Arthur’s Pizza

As a uni student, I am constantly on the look out for things that won’t break the budget. And take-​away food is kind of the first thing that has to go when you’re trying to save money. And walking home one night, I saw something that made me weep in gratitude. $ 10 take-​away pizzas before 7pm, every night, pick-​up only.
Heavenly choirs sung from above. I may have snapped a photo of the ad to memorialise the moment. And the menu has some amazing vegetarian options. I ended up taking home a Quattro that was absolutely delicious and fresh.
Will definitely be back (and absolutely love the story behind the upside-​down sign — hung in support of the GLBT community back in the 90s. Awesome.)

Recently moved to Randwick and stopped by this place after a day of moving. It was exactly what we wanted — cold beer, delicious pizza and good portion sizes. Service was friendly and approachable. We sat outside and enjoyed the sun and some great thin-​crust pizza. Haven’t had take-​way yet, but it’s definitely on our list!
Pizza prices were: $ 12 small/​$ 16 medium/​$ 21 large/​$ 25 family size. We started with a garlic pizza ($ 10 for a medium) and had 2 large pizzas. 3 incredibly hungry people couldn’t finish it (and all have pretty big appetites)

Love the Pizza and pasta form Arthurs. Cooked perfectly and they deliver on time.
I love the fact I can add or take away toppings and they always got it right.
Hmmm I’m getting hungry thinking about it.
Good Job. I’ll be back.

I remember walking down here from George and King street. Unfortunately it was not the one my friend told me about. I stopped in and had some food anyways. THe pizza reminds me of a place called Cicero’s in San Jose California, though their ingredient combinations are completely different. Prosciutto, Roma Tomato, Parmesan Cheese, Baby Rocket hit the spot and then I trekked on to the other Arthur’s on Oxford.

The pizzas here are tasty but they always seem to be sitting under a massive lake of oil. Mmm, Exxon Valdez pizzas. I usually only eat them when I can’t be bothered leaving my apartment — the restaurant does free delivery to surrounding suburbs for orders over $ 20. My favourite pizzas are the Capone (lamb sausage, mascarpone, spinach, Roma tomato, harissa sauce) and the Arthur’s (pepperoni, Roma tomato, capsicum, mushroom) without the capsicum.

Arthurs Pizza on Oxford Street in Paddington is a bit of an institution when it comes to pizza and Paddington. It’s been around for ever and a day it seems (Ok, about 35 years!) and is a popular joint for those looking for some Italian and more to the point, good old fashioned Italian pizza.
There’s every type of pizza under the sun in here (it’s hard to go past the pepperoni!) but if you need to mix it up there’s some pasta and salad to have as well. If you really want to get in the Italian spirit suck back on a Chinotto. It’s a drink but when I say spirit I don’t mean of the alcoholic kind!
Sometimes it’s not easy but try leave room for dessert. Of course there’s your traditional Italian gelati and tiramisu but also your not so traditional Mars Bar cheesecake which I must admit have not tried yet. There’s plenty of time, Arthurs isn’t going anywhere!

The original Arthur’s Pizza, easily spotted by its upside down white and red sign. Thin and crispy the way it should be. These guys know how to make pizza… which is why they’ve exploded into three stores across Paddo, Bondi and Randwick. There’s soup, salads and pastas on the menu, but this place is ALL about the pizza. Kick off with some pesto and parmesan. I’m a creature of habit when it come to Arthur’s… Supreme — hold the pineapple; double mushrooms, chilli, garlic and anchovies. If I was ever going to step outside my culinary comfort zone, I’d go for the Cabone — lamb sausage, marscapone, spinach, roma tomatoes and harissa sauce; and the Potzola — potato, gorgonzola, pecorino cheese and caramelised onions. Small to family ranges from $ 11 to $ 25. Cheap as chips. Gluten free is available as you’d expect (add $ 1) and you get the impression the tiramisu would be the bomb here. BYO and licenced, and «all breakages incur a $ 5 replacement fee» according to the menu which implies you can expect some rambunctious behaviour should you choose to dine in. Think I’ll stick to take away.

Arthur’s Pizza, or AZZIP S’RUHTRA as per the upside-​down sign, is an always-​buzzing pizza joint on Oxford Street. The restaurant floor is usually packed out with groups of people and smaller tables of couples or friends and the pavement outside the shop generally sees a few people milling around and waiting for their precious dinner.
Of particular recommendation are the Nitro (which packs a chili wallop) and the Meatlovers (I don’t care what anyone thinks, Meatlovers is the apex of the pizza form). It is a tiny bit expensive compared to other pizza places, but you’ll struggle to finish one of the larger dishes on your lonesome and their website *does* claim that this is the best pizza in the nation. I can’t speak to the truth of that, but with confidence like that, I suppose you can charge whatever you like.
For those of you who grew up in Italian households, Arthur’s stocks Chinotto, so prepare to order ‘a great Italian drink’ for all your friends and sit back and watch their reactions while your pre-​conditioned tastebuds enjoy this very much acquired taste.

Arthur’s Pizza claims to have the best pizza in Australia and I think it has more than enough arsenal to live up to its claim. Its alternative ingredients are sure to take the ordinary out of your pizza eating experience here. What’s more is that they also let their customers customise their very own pizza. How cool is that? Now, you’ll never have to remove individual ingredients that you don’t eat in your pizza. Make sure to try their house specialty thats eponymously named Arthur’s Pizza. With the evident quality of their pizzas, it’s no wonder they’ve been touted as one of the pioneers in pizza-​making in Australia.

«The Best Pizza in Sydney»? Really? I would have to be the judge of that – although I must admit that my expectations for pizza downunder weren’t high from the get-​go. With three locations in Sydney, I went to the one in Paddington, where the ‘Arthur’s Pizza’ sign is upside down. Not sure why, I mean to ask, but forgot! It’s a big place that looks like a typical pizzeria you would find in Brooklyn. Though I was enthralled by the different combinations of toppings that were featured on the menu, with ingredients much to ‘exotic’ for a stereotypical American patron. This defended my theory that Australian palettes are generally more adventurous than Yankee ones.
We were three hungry guys drooling over the menu of pizzas, pastas, and salads. After much consideration, we ordered a family size pizza, half Bello (tomato, bocconcini, basil) and half Sassari (lamb fillets, feta, red onions, sweet potato, mint), and a large Campolla (chicken, sun-​dried tomato, red onion, camembert, basil). I love my crust thin and these pizzas were deliciously waiflike. The toppings were all good quality, though I was partial to the simpler Bello pizza.
The people working at Arthur’s were very kind. Hearing Greek from behind the counter, I struck a conversation with my fellow Hellenes only to learn that Arthur himself was Greek. So after devouring two notable pizzas, I was pleasantly surprised to hear that Sydney’s best (a title I will now defend) actually comes from a bunch of Greeks.
