Shawcross Pizza

Considering the price and the hype this pizza just passes as mediocre. Poor presentation, greasy, strange vegetarian/vegan options that all feature a tomato-less base (matter of taste but just doesn’t make much sense to me). I have been many times at the end of a night for a couple of slices out of their front display which you can’t expect much of as their pre made and reheated but to get a similar result from a pizza fresh out of their ovens is pretty disappointing. That being said one point of merit was the base which was crispy, thin and flavourful.

I had the pepperoni slice here today with added chili flakes. The lady serving was super nice and did a great job. Excellent packaging of the slice box which I hadn’t seen before. The dough wasn’t too thick or heavy and toppings were generous. Was taken from a huge pie that was heated well. It was a take on a NY style slice. Okay for Australian standards. My only issue is that it was so so salty it actually was not possible to finish. This may have been the pepperoni coupled with the cheese. But it was too salty to eat unfortunately. Cool vibe inside though and everyone seemed nice. Good go see a lasting business on brunswick street when the turnover is so break neck fast!

The new owners are nice but the pizza doh has changed and it was really greasy, you use to be able to pick it up and it would stay together now you pick it up and it just flops, there pizza has definitely changed. There use to be a relaxed atmosphere with music and people hanging out, now it's quiet and was way to serious for Brunswick St. I hope they make it back to how it was otherwise won't be going back.

Absolutely horrible pizza. They claim they are the best. The pizzas in the counter look so gross and old re-heated... pretty disgusting. I ordered a vegan pizza and got the vegetarian and when I mentioned this to the staff he denied taking my order asking for the vegan option. I wouldn't even give 1 star.
