The pizzas here were fantastic. Ordered various pizzas which were cooked quickly, yet to perfection. Great choice of toppings too.

Waited 30mins for a pizza but we’ll worth it. As this cafe stayed open past 8pm they got our business unlike the others in the vicinity that had either run out or just closed at 8pm on a busy school holiday evening. Only gave the service a four star as it was a bit slow but expected in the height of the season. The business should invest in a second wood burning stove so they can get more pizzas through. Overall though great little venue.
