Son Of Pizzaiolo

Since the opening of Son Of Pizzaiolo, brothers Frank and Roque Romano have truly established themselves as maestros of the Thornbury pizza scene. If you are looking for quality pizzas of the gourmet kind, this pizzeria should be at the top of your list.

The restaurant possesses a polished industrial feel which retains a warm and familial character.

The menu is grounded in strong Italian heritage whilst introducing some innovative menu items and spins on classic dishes.

The appeal of Son Of Pizzaiolo pizzas lies in its beautiful crusts and the use of quality produce. As tomato and cheese are staple ingredients in almost every pizza on the menu, it is crucial that they get it right. And fortunately, they do. There is a pleasant freshness underlying the tomato base and the fior di latte, a type of Mozzarella that is made from cow’s milk, is milky in flavour and pleasingly delicate in texture.

The Salsiccia E Friarielli was a pizza containing smoked mozzarella, friarelli broccoli, pork sausage, grana Padano and chilli. The full-bodied porkiness of the Italian sausage was delectable and made a worthy contribution to the pizza.

Apart from pizzas, the pasta dishes are equally sensational. The chitarreji alla marinara possessed a wonderful depth of flavour and featured beautifully cooked seafood. The slow cooked duck risotto is a stunner  - Vialone nano rice is served in a slow cooked duck ragu with field mushroom, truffle oil and grana Padano cheese.

Dessert time is exciting at Son Of Pizzaiolo. Generous, bold and bang for your buck, both our desserts of Baked Nutella and ricotta cheese cake and Pineapple sorbetto ensured our visit concluded on a delectably sweet note.
