Pizzateca

Top choice in Fleurieu Peninsula


Crazy-busy-popular Pizzateca occupies a little back-blocks cottage, with a broad deck beneath a couple of huge old redgum trees. Generously sized pizzas wheel out from the wood-fired oven, as kids careen across the lawns – it's an effervescent scene. Try the devilishly hot 'Diablo' (sugo, dried chilli, fontina cheese, salami and house-made chilli honey). More prosecco, anyone?
