Skinny Pizza

Decided that I should finally try for on a Sunday early dinner.

The place was barely filled at 530pm and staff were very effiicent to seat us and offer water. We noticed the huge size of the pizza and decided to have only 1 to share plus a starter:

Macademia Roasted Pumpkin ($18) - Spicy roasted butter pumkpin on a crushed macademia nut crust. Served with crumbled french goat's cheese fresh basil and a light mustard dressing - it came in a big round almost biscuit-thin crust and generous toppings. The pumpkin was good and not over cooked and the nut crust was delicious! A pleasant surprise that they also had a few whole macademia nuts too. The goat's cheese was not cumbled very evenly though so some slices you taste none while you get a heady mouthful with others. Mustartd dressing was good and I love the slightly bitter taste of the heap of fresh arugula leaves.

Truffle Fries ($7) - Looked quite good and hot from the deep fryer when served, with a strong distinctive truffle aroma. But it was way too oily and I feel that fries sometimes needs to retain that certain element of the 'potato' feel which this one didnt have because it was too skinny and crunchy.

Although I do also feel that pizza doesnt feel like pizza without a proper crust (the modesto's kind, not pizza hut), I guess this is a fresh take on pizza that will sit well with some and not others. But warning though - big eaters may not feel full without the usual carbo pizza load.

Service was good and all smiles, nothing to fault. I also realized that they promote recycling alot - the tables and chairs looked re-made from recycled materials, the table stande was an old album cover, and the feedback forms printed on a small piece of paper and stuck on old magazine pages. Good job!

Their other stuff including slider, pastas, and desserts looked very tempting - for my 2nd visit! Worth a visit if you like; just skip the truffle fries.
