Since opening in 2013, Site Pizza Bar has become the go-to local pizza place for Little Bay residents.
Not only do the pizzas taste good — just try the pollo with fresh mushrooms, succulent chicken breast and mozzarella — but they are hilariously named as well. The Australiana and the Ned Kelly are two that stand out.
Site Pizza also ups the ante when it comes to desert pizzas, with the Nutella calzone topping their desert menu.
Maranello’s, 51/737 Anzac Parade, Maroubra
Priding itself on serving authentic Italian cuisine, this lively Italian restaurant has a range of traditional and gourmet pizzas on its menu.
Seafood pizza fans are always satisfied by the gamberroni gourmet pizza, which is topped with marinated tiger king prawns, cherry tomatoes, shallots and roasted capsicum.

Pinnochio’s, Level 2/538 Anzac Parade, Kingsford
Since moving from The Spot in Randwick a few years ago, Pinnochio’s has upheld its 15-year legacy for delectable pizzas at its new location, The Juniors Kingsford.
With a Mediterranean-Italian influence, Pinnochio’s home-style cooking doesn’t disappoint. The livello pizza with Italian salami, mushrooms, rocket and truffle oil is a crowd favourite.
Even better, once you’ve enjoyed your pizza you can catch a show in the auditorium.
Coco’s Pizza Cafe, 2/264 Bunnerong Rd, Matraville
Coco’s Pizza Cafe is known locally for its fast and friendly serve, generous toppings and crispy pizza crusts.

Customer recommendations for Coco’s include the Portuguese pizza and new addition to the menu, the crunchy satay chicken pizza.
Zio Pino Pizzeria, 930 Botany Rd, Mascot
A family run pizzeria that’s been feeding the Mascot community for more than three decades, Zio Pino’s aim is “to take your tummy to Italy”.
The classic red-and-white checkered table cloths and woodfired pizza oven scream authentic Italian.
The four seasons pizza, with ham, mushroom, prawns and cabanossi divided into quarters, is a foolproof way to share pizza among friends.

While Arthur’s Pizza first made it’s mark opening in Paddington in 1974, making it the oldest continually running pizzeria in Sydney, the Maroubra location is earning its stripes as well.

Sven’s Viking Pizza also has a dish called pizzasalad, a traditional pickled cabbage salad that is paired with pizza in all Swedish pizza places.
