This is the BEST pizza place in Queensland (we actually think it's the best in Aus, but it was voted number 2 - pretty darn good!). You can't make a reservation unless you're a big group, but when you arrive, leave your number & they'll call when a table is available. It's a great please to eat while you're visiting Southbank, or if you're craving pizza!
