If I were to rate this place a couple of years back, it would have got nowhere near a 4 or above. But today, I’m impressed. I can tell the staff took great care and dedication when making my pizza. The toppings, sauce and cheese were evenly placed and spread; and more importantly, the pizza dough was baked to perfection - crumbly crust that’s airy and soft inside even when the cornicione is less than 1/4 inch thick. That’s impressive, considering most joints including this place in the past just casually over bake the dough. Great time and temperature control.
Is it Italian? Probably not. The sauce was cooked and the cornicione resembles more of a thin-crust Chicago style which scream American.
Does it matter? Absolutely not, cuz it was good and hell yeah brothers I couldn’t stop stuffing my face with it!
Personally, I’d say the eggplant could use a little more (bold flavored) olive oil and cooking time to soften the tissues. Those vegs could’ve been fresher but I ordered it at night so not necessarily their fault. It won’t hurt with some garlic and chili oil too at the end. But objectively speaking, the acidity of the tomato sauce was pleasant. The pizza was crafted and baked to perfection. Nice browning on the cheese and the dough - top and bottom. Even heat distribution and great T&T control. The pizza base alone should be at least a 4. Hence, I’m giving it 5/5 in honor of the love and care from their staff and the improvement from my last experience. Looking back I literally witnessed the first day when this place was opened where it was previously occupied by another pizza shop back in 2016. Time flies.
What a day.

Arancini is one of the best restaurants in the Waterloo area. Attention to the customer and his requests is a must. the pizza is well made, the result of a wise knowledge of the raw material and an abundance of quality toppings. the staff is nice. They also have menus for vegetarians and vegans and this is top! I recommend ordering something from them to try some good food in Sydney.

Ordered through ubereats and the food was extremely disappointing. The gnocchi were uncooked, like they didn’t even go through water. And the chicken bites are worst than McDonald’s nuggets, on the app there is a photo and they seem like they are made out of chicken breasts and with cheese, but in reality they were a horrible chicken paste with a tiny amount of cheese. Wouldn’t recommend at all.

Fast good Tucker at reasonable/good price (if you order pickup direct with them, or just turn up to their shop). The pasta's and gnocchi are good and just al dente as they should be The sauces are the typical ones, nothing inventive or anything, but they are good.

We ordered Pesto Gnocci and Fettucini, Arancini Balls and Garlic Bread.
The Pesto was the best I have ever had.
Everything tasted great!!
We are ordering again tonight 😀😋

Just ordered a Garlic prawn pizza, pizza was cold by the time it was delivered because of the constant having to repeat myself on the phone of my address and phone number, and I have been a customer for over 5 years. Obviously the delivery rider got lost even though I live just up the road. Won’t be ordering from here again. ! And no apology was given either

Arancinis arrived in melted Styrofoam container. Obviously had been placed into Styrofoam straight from the fryer and melted the box. Not the most appetising thing to realise your food has been exposed to toxic fumes.

Gross this place is dirty dingy and has absolutely no service. Walked into an empty dark cafe to be greeted by a man picking his teeth and on his phone. <br/><br/>Shop was completely empty and he refused to serve me because I had a voucher. My mum didn't have a voucher and would have purchased at full price. <br/><br/>Interaction finished with him saying we don't want customers like you, which is what I assume he says to everybody has the shop was completely empty dark and quiet

$5 bargain! Takeaway regular coffee and a salted caramel tart! Tart was a bit heavy on the ganache but I couldn't complain at the price. Liked the crunch of the crispearl.

Ordered it as home delivery, I got the garlic prawns pizza and it was delicious, the prawns were big and juicy, although you really need to be a fan of garlic as it was very strong, I felt it was a little overpowering actually. And I love garlic.<br/>I also had the pepperoni pizza which was spot on. <br/>

These guys make great simple pizzas in a hot oven. Good value, great base, quick and reliable! I tend to order the more basic pizzas, definitely the house's strong suit.

A fresh new start and new name for this well established cafe in the heart of Waterloo village . Great meals and coffee throughout the day at reasonable prices. Fantastic wood fire pizzas most evenings.
