bayside pizza

i've been eating at bayside for over the last 6-years. their quality used to remind me of the great western australian pizza places of my youth ('80s) like marco's in dogswamp, san remo in whitfords, and santa lucia in heathridge. further, their prices were exceptional, making pizza the best deal in town. well, that's what it used to be like. this trip back to australia (i live in the us) i noticed both a significant drop in quality and increase in price.

ok, quality: i have bought pizzas from there 3-times since my return. the first time the pizzas were very good, not great. still a worthwhile product. the second time, i got 2-works, 1-vegetarian. the works seemed like they were made by different people. one was good, the other was soggy from too many toppings. the vegetarian was practically inedible. the base was coated with a thick, sickenly thick, coating of garlic paste, as well as a ridiculous number of olives. i was incredibly disappointed. my wife can't eat red meat, and she spent my time trying to surgically remove toppings so she could at least have something to eat. the last time was tonight. it was a family works. it was exceptional; back to the good old days. my verdict over the last couple of months is that bayside quality can be awesome, but it is spotty. i think it depends who is working that night. ingredients are still very good.

now price: 6-years ago you could get 2-large pizzas, no restrictions, for ~$20. today it is $31 for 2-large, but only on the basic pizzas. specialty pizzas (i always get the works; it's deemed a specialty pizza) are premium prices. the works is $24 for a large, $45 for 2-large. so in 6-years prices for 2-large works has gone from ~$20 to $45. when i got my 2-family works, 1-family vegetarian, the cost was a whopping $72. given the poor quality of that order, i was very unhappy. i no longer consider bayside value for money. it is actually one of the most expensive takeaway per serving meals

the short of it is i used to eat bayside pizza every 7-10days when i'm back from overseas. the price and spotty quality now make me hesitant. i think bayside is still far and away a better product that any of the pizza chains, but not compared to other fast food outlets. i would like to see an independent competitor come into the area to cause bayside to sharpen up and restore prior quality and price.

it is simply just pizza 🍕 great toppings, tasty crust the flavours you want. got the works and a meatlovers. everyone was happy. seems like a popular place with a lot of regulars

i'd like to know who voted this 1 star so i can slap the shit out of you ya muppet.

best pizzas in rockingham. toppings are just jammed packed and pizzas are generous. you just can’t go past “the works”.
i’m a returning customer of many years.

best pizzas this side of freo! definitely worth the extra bucks for a real pizza! staff are great too. i've been going there for roughly 5 or so years now and always happy to return.

awesome taste. i love this and i recommend this restaurant. worth full prices.
bayside pizza serves the best pizza in town with actual toppings well worth paying a little higher! family favourite always leftovers thanks

sherman likes pizza. okay, sherman likes all kinds of food, but especially pizza!

so after passing by on many occasions it’s time to stop and try it for himself. closed! why do urges for pizza mainly happen on a tuesday? but, as a famous philosopher once said: “if at first you don’t succeed, try again on a day they are open.”

so he did, and to his delight, bayside pizzas make pizzas how nature intended. hot, flavoursome with generous amounts of topping. you can choose from three different sizes to suit all appetites and the range of pizzas is quite extensive. you can customise your pizza by adding extra toppings and removing those you’re not keen about … pineapple does not belong on a pizza! the décor does not look like it has been touched since the 1950s, but that just adds to the experience.

in the words of yet another famous philosopher (sherman provides philosophy 101 and a review) “i’ll be back!”

bayside pizza is well worth every single dollar you spend on the pizza that they make. they're quite big and can feed a family but also have a large range and have actual flavours that you can taste.

it's quite pricey for pizza but well worth it.

great tasting pizzas and obliging when asked to cook it very well done, love a bit of charcoal. also love their garlic bread as well. great staff.

this is a great local pizza place with yummo pizzas.
great sizes and reasonable prices as well.
always think to go here on a tuesday night only go get disappointed when we realise they are closed

phoned repeatedly from 20:30 on a tuesday - no answer; don't advertise open til 21:30 if you're not. very disappointed, as pizza's are better than dominos.

we have lived in safety bay for 3 years now, first time we have tried this shop, fast delivery, friendly delivery driver. beats the big pizza shops in this area for taste. 2 thumbs up

great pizza! heaps of toppings and family owned. so much better than dominos or pizza hut. huge pizzas and great prices!! cheesy garlic bread is amazing

going downhill fast. i have been going to bayside pizza for three years. over time the quality and size has gon down but thinking maybe it was just me a had a look at some photos i happened to take three years ago and yep i'm now being ripped off with toppings size and price, wow massive difference.
after trying a fiew other privet pizza shops i am sorry a cant saport bayside any more even after nicely letting them know and then receiving a grumpy response.
just don't wast your time and money.
