In the mood for some authentic, masterfully-made pizzas? Vacanza Pizzeria Bronte has you covered. Recent renovated, it is now an even more perfect place to enjoy hearty pizza dishes and antipasti.
From the mind of Nick Gilbert comes the famous Italian pizza place ‘Vacanza Pizzeria’ which has been in the business for 11 years now, with branches in both Bronte and Surry Hills. The restaurant’s name draws roots from the Italian word ‘vacanza’, which roughly translates to ‘holiday’.
Just recently, the pizzeria has finished undergoing renovations for the first time in ten years. Some additions include the implementation of their all-new takeaway window on the ground floor, as well as the installation of a giant window to allow customers to view the kitchen and watch the magic happen live. The upstairs area, on the other hand, has received new pendant lights and decorative wall paneling along with some fancy marble top tables.
The restaurant offers both takeaway and dine in, and their menu features many classic pizzas such as pizza margherita, pizza gamberi, or pizza diavola with unique twists. Also available at the restaurant are calzones, salads, and both a curated selection of antipasti and a bufala mozzarella bar.
Reviewers raved over the restaurant’s pizza, with numerous accounts lauding it as the “best pizza around”. The atmosphere and the service have also been commended by the restaurant’s customers. One reviewer in particular complimented the staff on their ability to work well under pressure despite the venue being extremely busy. Another had written that the food, the prices, and the staff were all incredible.
Mr Gilbert’s pizzerias first came about after he quit his corporate job to travel all across Europe and learn how to make pizza. His ventures across the continent have led to him mastering the particular style of pizza which he now serves at his restaurants in Sydney. He claims that Vacanza came about not for financial reasons, but because he wished to serve the community.
Vacanza Pizzeria can be found at 261 Bronte Rd, Waverley, open Wednesdays to Sundays from 5:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. For more information, visit their website here. Follow their social media pages on Facebook and Instagram for the latest updates on meals, deals, and other special announcements.
