About Pizza Fritta 180

Golden, puffed-to-order Neapolitan street food takes centre stage at this buzzing Crown Street joint. Tables fill fast with groups splitting carafes of wine, crisp arancini, and towering pockets of pizza fritta stuffed with molten cheese and savoury fillings like friarielli or nduja. Diners often kick things off with mussels served beneath a dome of fried pizza dough, tearing off pieces to mop up the spicy sauce.

  • Authentic Pizza Fritta: Folded dough deep-fried until puffed and golden, stuffed with molten cheese and savoury fillings like friarielli or nduja.
  • Mussels in Fried Dough: Antipasto featuring saucy mussels baked under a blanket of fried dough made for dipping.
  • Group Dining & Spritzes: Lively outdoor tables on Crown Street set up for sharing oversized plates, arancini, and spritzes.

  • Fried Dough-Covered Mussels

    Serves savory shellfish starters sealed under or plated inside hot, crisp fried pizza dough that doubles as dipping bread.

  • Theatrical Presentation at the Table

    Cutting into the inflated golden crust deflates the dough to reveal steaming melted cheese and aromatic fillings.

    When you cut into it, it deflates and you are mesmerised by the theatre and delicious fillings.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is pizza fritta and how is it served?

Pizza fritta is traditional Neapolitan fried pizza where dough is stuffed with savory fillings and fried until puffed up like a calzone, creating a crisp exterior that deflates when cut.

How large are the portions?

Portions are substantial and filling. A single starter and one pizza fritta can comfortably satisfy two diners, and large sizes or sharing dishes are generous enough for groups.

Are vegetarian or vegan options available?

Yes, the menu includes plant-based and meat-free options such as vegan fried pizza and vegetarian choices alongside classic meat fillings.

Do you need to book ahead or can you walk in?

Walk-ins are accommodated and lines tend to move quickly, though peak weekend evenings can get very busy and lead to brief waits for tables.
