Anyone
for gourmet pizza by the slice?
Since
2005 when Stuzzico made its entrance to the Perth market, i have
noticed the growing popularity of Stuzzico's gourmet pizza by the
slice.
The
queues at lunchtime in the Perth CBD are not uncommon as Stuzzico
makes a quick and easy lunchtime alternative for those on the go
and who want to grab something quick for lunch. Some of the branches
also have a small area for alfresco dining which makes a good spot
for some quick and tasty pizza with friends alfresco on the sidewalk
in the city. Note: some of the city branches are open only during
weekdays and not on weekends.
Stuzzico
has several branches in the city, conveniently located, one at the
east end of the city and the other at the west end of the city,
depending on which end of the city you work at. It also has shops
in East Perth, Subiaco, and Morley. Sorry, there are no Stuzzico
shops south of the river as yet.
The
takeaway pizza that Stuzzico sells is known as Rome style pizza
and is cooked in long rectangular baking pans. Rome style pizza
originated when bakers with only normal bread ovens had to improvise
by cooking their pizzas in normal bread ovens using long rectangular
baking pans rather than specialised pizza ovens. Hence, Rome pizza
was sold by the rectangular slice.
Pizza
by the slice can be bought by the slice and also by quarters, halves,
or whole. A slice of pizza starts from $3.50. The quarters cost
around $10 to $11 for 3 slices, halves for around $18 to $22, and
a whole pizza for around $32 to $44. The halves are approximately
75cms in length and the whole pizza 1.5m in length.
Warning: If you order the halves or whole, expect to look very greedy,
as the pizza boxes are huge, and are more than an arm's width or
two. But off course, the box is light, and really, the pizza is
not that filling! And one could always save a couple of pieces of
pizza for later so as to not appear too greedy.
The
pizza is fresh and tasty with fairly simple ingredients, usually
1 to 3 ingredients per pizza with a light sprinkle of fresh mozzarella.
It's not your heavy sort of pizza that is greasy or laden down with
too much cheese. The salad ingredients such as the cherry tomatoes
and rocket used in the pizzas always look fresh. As the pizza is
purchased by the slice, depending on the magnitude of your greed,
you can have one slice of pizza, or more!
One
of my favourites is the rocket, feta and olive pizza. It comes with
mountains of rocket salad complemented by the nice sharpness of
the feta cheese and flavoursome olives. Along with the fresh pizza
toppings, the pizza base is also very light. For vegetarians, there
is a plentiful selection of toppings.
Stuzzico
offers a great selection of paninis such as tuna, peperonata, speck,
emmenthal, feta, salsiccia, brie, cotto, bosco, and pollo at $6.
The bosco which is a combination of mixed mushroom, salami and firodillate
and roasted eggplant sounds rather delectable. The paninis use the
nice airy ciabatta bread.
Stuzzico
also offers fresh coffee and bread.
Stuzzico
is always very consistent in its product offerings. It never disappoints,
and is always fresh and tasty.
