“ The pizzas were not insta worthy. In fact, my first thought on their potato and sausage pizza was it’s a sad looking pizza. But they’re bursting with flavours. Glad I visited this restaurant. The cheesecake was also drizzled with amaretto cherries and the combination complimented each other. Also enjoyed their gelato. ”
“ Absolutely sensational flavours! Every pizza was flavoursome and then the Pistachio tiramisu came out and I was in heaven! We were a party of 7 and there was a lot of variety and so much to taste. We got some recommendations from Elia, the owner, and we ran with it. The crust of every pizza was perfectly cooked with a delightful char, and the toppings were fresh and bursting with flavor just like authentic italian pizza should be - every bite was pure deliciousness. The Nutella pizza was pretty special. I certainly havent had one quite that well made before. I have never had dough so perfectly made full stop. Complements to the Elia, the dough maker! I tasted the love and pride in the food. The friendly service and pure joy Elia was oozing was not only with our table, but every table as we watched him and his staff wait throughout the restaurant. It was a very inviting atmosphere and that atmosphere made the dining experience even better. Hands down, the best woodfired pizzas I've ever had, and I will definitely be back for more! It was absolutely worth the drive up from Sydney after reading all the wonderful reviews. ”
“ Well worth the 30 minute drive. Phenomenal pizza, quite frankly the softest and nicest woodfire dough I've ever had. Service, exceptional. Absolutely faultless. A standout restaurant. A huge thanks to Elia. ”
“ We had a wonderful time eating at Sorrento Pizzeria. Initially we thought about getting takeaway but we felt super welcomed and were glad we stayed! The pizza was amazing and made with local and fresh ingredients and the Gelato was delicious, I recommend trying the pistachio flavour. The owner was really friendly and made our time here memorable. I’ve never experienced service as good as I did here and hoping to return. ”
“ Honestly some of the best pizzas with a real authentic flavour. We had 3 different pizzas among the family. One option for a family member was gluten free, vegan cheese (Lactose free) and they also rated these pizzas 10/10. Definitely go here for pizza. Dine in or sit by the water with a picnic rug. ”
“ Best pizza in the world! amazing unique service, you can tell Elijah uses quality ingredients and is passionate about his perfected recipe. been here 10 times and will keep coming back ”
“ As a pizza enthusiast with my own pizza oven, I make my own dough and sauce and have always been picky about restaurant pizza. I’ve rarely found one that truly impressed me—until I finally decided to check out Sorrento. Oh wow. The pizza here is next-level. Airy, perfectly fermented dough, incredibly fresh ingredients, and spot-on flavours. Honestly, it put my own pizza to shame—and that’s saying something. If you’re serious about good pizza, you’ve gotta try this place. ”
