vacanza pizzeria

one of my favourite pizza places. this is the place to go for all you pizza purists out there!

crispy, hand-made bases with an array of delicious toppings and just the right amount of cheese. the food is consistently good and the wait staff are always very friendly.

love it. one of the best places in sydney for pizzas. i've tried a number of their pizzas and they're all good. simple ingredients, small amount of topping-but tastes authentic and delicious. good base too.
they don't do much more than pizzas but do have byo. can't go wrong.
service can be improved, but it's not enough to ruin your night.

great pizza....even tastier if enjoyed on your sofa.... one of my favourite pizza places in sydney. fresh and authentic flavours and very simple ingredients. i prefer take away only though. staff is friendly and nice but sometimes very unorganized and you will end up waiting to be seated even if you already have a booking.
i highly recommend their “brandi” buffalo margherita - just preheat your oven before picking it up, warm it up a bit once you get home and enjoy the amazing melting buffalo mozzarella... absolutely delicious!
not the cheapest option around but worth a try!

terrible service. place looks nice and food looks decent but worse service. very bad experience, ruins your night. would not recommend

we arrived at 8pm and place full. always a good sign. but we had booked so we were seated outside and they kept us updated until a table freed up at 8.30.

first time here. service very friendly. unlike most sydney places. felt like family. three pizzas arrived surprisingly swiftly and they were great. dessert was a tiramisu and that was serviceable.

would go again

best pizza i've ever had. cosy, dark great atmosphere. absolutely amazing pizza so flavourful! my friends and i have had a lot of pizzas in our time but this place tops it. i wish it was our local!! will definitely be making an effort to come back. great service too.

so simple, yet so delicious.. my favourite pizza ever. enough said!

lover of things italian. i only had the basic salami ,cheese pizza with some chilli,it was mouth watering,im sure the ingredients were farmed on that day,absolutely delicious!

a pizza night out paves the way to the traditional and exciting vacanza pizzeria (414 bourke street, surry hills). this corner block hub has been on our 'to go' list for quite a while and so when we finally had the chance to check it out, i was all smiles =). their older brother and original pizzeria is located in bronte. vacanza 261 - campari & sparkling blood orange on ice (left) negroni - gin, campari rosso, vermouth & soda on ice (right) ahhhhh these drinks or aka. the drinks of death . don't get me wrong, i can take my alcohol. sometimes i casually stroll into the petrol station and swig a few litres of e10 to get that ethanol hit, but boy were these drinks strong. i would love to describe the flavours of these drinks for you but honestly the campari is lethal. tip of the day - guys, if you want your girlfriend drunk then feed her a few of these. parma prosciutto is freshly sliced onto each pizza ball of beauty 125 grams of campania garofalo buffalo mozzarella first of all, let us

most amazing pizza in sydney served by friendly staff in a great atmosphere... probably in australia (i still have some more sampling to do but am confident).
the pizza diavola is to die for ... just be warned: as soon as you visit this place ones, you will want to come back at any occasion you feel like eating pizza in the future.

the rule about not taking bookings for groups of less than 3 is ridiculous, especially when the night i'm trying to book for is valentines...

authentic italian pizza the way it should be. best pizza in the area without a doubt. italian chefs, italian waiters, italian manager all of which make it an authentic experience. highly recommended!

meh. the pizza was actually a nice shock to the arrogant non accommodating staff. you can't bring your own beer, only wine. the weird outline of naked women on the back wall and the lights dimmed just enough to see in front of you made me feel i was on a porno set, not a restaurant.
reasonably priced and good location. won't be attending anytime soon!

arrogance with a side of arrogance. sorry couldn't get by the arrogance of the floor staff... couldn't eat here
restaurant was empty but still no welcome

...by the way would you like an extra large side of arrogance?

arrogance with a side of pizza. i was recommended this place by friends, so we thought we would give it a try.

when we finally got to sit at the communal table after 40 minutes everything was going great the and food was delicious.

however then the manager came up to us and in a passive agressive way asked us to move to a smaller table as they had a larger party waiting. we said we had almost finished our meal and were going to leave soon anyway.
five minutes later a waiter came up and asked us the same thing. we gave the same response upon which he said: "listen, these people have been waiting why can't you just move like i ask?"

afterwards i went to the manager to complain and instead of taking my criticism on board, he started to argue with me and would not listen.

i have worked in hospitality for five years and have never seen such appaling service.

i will never go here again or recommend it to anyone.
