About Westwood

Sydney dough obsessives put Westwood at the top of the city's pizza pecking order. Inside this compact Australia Street outpost, pizzaioli pull blistered pies straight from the stone oven. The base stays remarkably soft—a pillowy, blistered cornicione supporting bold topping combinations. The signature garlic and hot honey pizza delivers an addictive sweet-savoury hit, while the Salamanca hot salami and rich 'nduja bring steady warmth alongside plates of charred greens. With just a minimal counter and a few stools, dine-in space fills almost immediately. Early callers ring ahead to lock in an allocated takeaway collection slot before the evening rush begins.

  • Signature Pies: Famed for its sweet-and-savoury garlic and honey pie, alongside Salamanca salami and spicy 'nduja.
  • Masterful Dough: Stone-baked crusts featuring an airy, blistered, and exceptionally soft cornicione.
  • Time-Slotted Takeaway: A narrow space with limited stool seating means phoning early secures an allocated pick-up time.

Why diners seek out Westwood's artisan wood-fired pies and time-slot ordering system.

  • Blistered Wood-Fired Crust with Artisanal Toppings

    Pizzas are prepared on light, blistered dough with inventive pairings ranging from spanner crab to nduja and spicy salamanca hot salami.

    both absolutely nailed the balance between bold flavour and light, blistered dough.

  • Phone-Ahead Time-Slot Scheduling

    Calling ahead to secure an allocated bake time slot lets guests schedule takeaway or dining with predictable precision.

    Good option to call ahead and order on the phone. The staff give an accurate ETA on when pizza will be ready.

  • Organised Pick-Up That Avoids Walk-In Delays

    Despite limited stools and tight counter space, clear queue coordination and return times keep takeaway pick-ups prompt and seamless.

    We pre-ordered on the phone at 3pm and it saved us waiting in the line :)

  • Intimate Open Kitchen and Stone Oven Craft

    Guests enjoy counter-side views of the kitchen team hand-kneading dough and firing fresh pies in the roaring stone oven.

    You’ll see the chef kneading the dough and putting it into the stone oven at the back to bake.

  • Atmospheric Counter-Seating Energy

    A cozy, narrow footprint with counter stools brings alive the aroma of baking dough and focused culinary preparation.

    It’s a narrow, minimal setup with just a few stools, but the energy inside feels alive from the hum of the oven to the soft clinking of prep work behind the counter.

    The crab pizza was spectacular and the tomato base was just chef kiss!

    The garlic and honey combo was a perfect sweet-savoury hit, while the nduja pizza packed more complexity without feeling heavy.
