Tucked down a laneway, housed in an industrial building, you'll find our quirky pizzeria. Our vibe is super casual and we love to see our customers sharing pizzas, beers and enjoying life. Our space is ideal for large groups, but also for families and couples. Were all about the pizza! Pizza Napoletana is authentic pizza from Naples, and we make it according to the generations-old technique....with just a little of our own twists here and there. Our dough is made in-house and fermented for a minimum of 24hrs to create a tasty and light base - minimal yeast so no bloating here. Then its hand-stretched, topped with quality ingredients imported from Italy AND sourced locally, and cooked at a fiery 400 degrees.We do other stuff as well - starters, sharers, salads, homemade desserts, and gelato. Plus cocktails, imported and locally brewed beers, and some carefully selected wines from independent wineries.

We had an exceptional time at Tziki Bar. We were there celebrating having family up from Sydney and from the UK. Also friends up from South Australia. The food was absolutely fabulous, every dish we had was full of flavour, the sizes were more than adequate. Everyone at the table commented what a wonderful lunch we had had. 10 at of 10 to everyone concerned. Our lovely Waitress Erin was great.
