Like anyone who grew up through the 90s, pizza is a staple of my diet. Quality ranges dramatically from restaurant to restaurant, and finding a pizzeria that offers authentic Italian fare is a rarity.



Nick's Pizzeria in Lindfield is one of those places. Although it serves up a handful of salads and pasta dishes, its main offering, as indicated in its name, comes in round, flat circles.

The pizzas are split into two categories: the regular and the gourmet.

Regular pizzas

The regular menu has 20 varieties, including all the ones you'd expect to see: the basic margarita or garlic pizzas, the Aussie and Hawaiian favourites and the supreme (and supreme special) and the, simply, but effectively named, meats.

Vegetarians have five options, which is more than what most restaurants offer, and the staff are happy to make changes to the listed ingredients if something else takes your fancy.

Gourmet pizzas

The gourmet selection is a little more experimental. For some it's the reason to head to Nick's, for others it's something to avoid. Many of them don't come with the traditional tomato sauce, which for a pizza is quite a daring move.

Expect to see quality ingredients such as Camembert cheese on offer, as well as foods like sultanas and peanuts which you might not ordinarily find on a pizza.

Again, vegetarians are well catered for and have a choice among the pizzas.

Worth going?

Although the prices are a touch on the high side (a margarita will set you back $11.20 /small, $15.70/medium or $19 for a large), the quality of the food, the variety in its menu and the freshness of the ingredients -- you can watch the pizza being made in front of your eyes -- makes Nick's Pizzeria one of the best restaurants of its kind in northern Sydney.
