Australian culture has embraced "the pizza" as though its own. So, for a pizza restaurant to stand out amongst the crowd, such as Il Caminetto, is a feat that should be congratulated. Owner and head pizza-maker, Mark Stella, honed his craft in the purported birthplace of pizza, Naples, making his style one of authentic taste without too much gourmet razzle-dazzle. Try his simple margherita pizza. Il Caminetto is getting bigger by the day, proof that their pizza pizazz is worth driving across town to taste.
