The Beginning

One Shop. One Oven.
Balgowlah, 2012.

What started as one local pizza shop in Balgowlah was built on courage, long nights, family recipes and the simple belief that good food has the power to bring people together.
From day one, our focus has been quality and care. We handcraft every pizza using fresh daily ingredients, signature sauces made in house and recipes inspired by tradition and passion. Our menu has grown to include gourmet creations, crispy chicken, fresh salads, indulgent desserts and sides to share, but our heart has never changed.
What began as one small shop has become a network of stores that feels like family. To every customer who has ever ordered, shared a slice, supported a local store or believed in us, thank you. This journey exists because of you.
Believe in your dreams, work hard, stay passionate and always love every bite.

The Founders

Meet Thiago
And Roberta.

Thiago and Roberta moved to Australia from southern Brazil in 2007 and have called the Manly area home ever since. Roberta was a chef. Thiago was a project manager.
In 2012 they opened their own pizza shop in Balgowlah, bringing flavours from their southern Brazilian upbringing to the Northern Beaches. Today the family business has grown to 23 stores, and they still back local clubs like Seaforth FC and Harbord FC.

Why We Do It

Made For The
Moments In Between.

Moments shared around the table after a long day. Birthdays, grand finals and quiet nights at home. The box opens, the aroma hits and everyone reaches for the first slice.
What We Stand For

Hard Work. Respect.
Community. Consistency.

We are proudly family owned, and every store is built on the same values that started it all.

Hard Work

01
The dough's made before the doors open. Most of our managers have worked every station in the shop, from the oven to the delivery run.

Respect

02
For the food, for each other, and for the regulars who've ordered the same pizza every Friday for ten years.

Community

03
Supporting local schools, sports clubs, charities and neighbourhood events isn't just something we do. It's who we are.

Consistency

04
Same recipes, same standards, same pride. A Supreme in Bundall should taste exactly like a Supreme in Balgowlah.
In Our Kitchens

Real Dough.
No Shortcuts.

From day one, our focus has been quality and care. Here's what goes into every pizza, in every one of our 23 kitchens.
01

Fresh Daily Ingredients

Every pizza is handcrafted using fresh ingredients, every day.
02

Signature Sauces

Our signature sauces are made in house, to recipes inspired by tradition and passion.
03

Stretched By Hand

Every base is hand-stretched daily by people who'd rather be eating it.
04

Baked To Order

Nothing sits under a heat lamp. Your pizza goes in the oven when you order it and comes out in about 90 seconds.

The Journey

From One Oven
To Twenty-Three.

We've grown one suburb at a time, and only when we could do it without changing the pizza.
