Pizza’Mare

Pizza$$

Alessandro and Anna Pavoni are behind six of Sydney’s most renowned Italian restaurants, including Ormeggio at the Spit, yet they had never put a full-sized pizza on a menu. Until now.

Pizza’Mare has opened on upper mezzanine level of the Pavonis’ fine-dining restaurant a’Mare, where you can find not-quite-Neapolitan, not-quite-new-school pizzas, made on a “biga” base that’s crisp on the outside, soft on the inside, and bubbling with pockets of air.

There’s a classic margherita with San Marzano tomatoes and fior di latte mozzarella for the purists, as well as elevated options such as the amar’inara (yellowfin tuna crudo and stracciatella) and the gamberi e zucchini (king prawns and zucchini flower).

The menu features a selection of antipasti, alongside classic pasta dishes, but the focus is firmly on pizza.
