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 Choose Westwood

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

  • Signature Sweet-Savoury Garlic & Honey Pizza

    Westwood crafts an inventive signature pizza layering roasted garlic and honey over blistered, chewy dough for a distinctive taste profile.

    The garlic and honey pizza was exceptional - I really enjoyed the savoury and sweet flavour combination.

  • 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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Should I order ahead, and how does the wait time work?

Because Westwood operates out of a compact kitchen and prepares pizzas in allocated time slots, wait times for walk-ins can reach 40 to 60 minutes during busy hours. To avoid long waits, calling ahead to place an order and agree on a pick-up time is highly recommended.

Is there space to dine in?

Dine-in seating is very limited, consisting of just a few small tables or counter stools inside, with some outdoor spots. Because seating fills up quickly, many patrons opt for takeaway.

What are the most popular pizza flavours to order?

The signature Garlic + Honey pizza is the most widely recommended order. Other frequent customer favorites include the Salamanca and the spanner crab pizza, often paired with their house chilli oil.

What parking and transport options are nearby?

Street parking is available in the surrounding area, with both free and paid street parking options nearby. The shop is also conveniently located within walking distance of Newtown train station and nearby bus stops.
