Highly recommended by Underground B&B hosts Ken & Ana. It was told they served the best tasty pizza in town. And yes it is! The pizza is tasty and you can really see a lot of customers in the restaurant as compare to others just beside. Multi awards winner too.

A family pizza really feeds a family here,and the crust is quite nice. The sauce, like most Australian sauces, lacks adequate garlic, but the toppings and cheese are good. The lamb yiro (called gyro in the USA) at $8.50 really is the best value Australian lunch I've had in a year here. Everything tasted too salty, but like the lack... More

The service was excellent, the food was average. I ordered a pizza and didn't finish it, not because I was full but more because I couldn't take another bite, it wasn't that nice. Avoid it? Well there is not that many places to eat in Coober Pedy, so you will proberbly end up here at some point.

Food is OK, but nothing brilliant. Nice place if you have been living on canned foods for a while before arriving. Worse is the berating of staff (family?) in front of customers.

We decided to stop here as it had the awards...three kinds of pizza and a burger. It was fine but not award winning. Our local deli has similar quality and freshness, and flavour. The place was VERY clean, and we were impressed with that, more than anything. The pizza base was really great, though. The food was really nice, but... More

An excellent choice for a reasonably price and tasty meal. They have some unique options for toppings that I had not ever considered before eating here.
