It’s a large restaurant with two levels of indoor dining plus outdoor dining street-side and in a rear courtyard, so they were particularly well equipped to implement NSW Health’s current social distancing instructions and keep plenty of space between diners earlier in the week. Aperitivo also send out pizza delivering via platforms like UberEats, though you can ensure all your money goes into supporting your local guy (rather than a corporate giant) by talking a walk to pick up your pizza yourself (while we still can)...

We ordered the capricciosa and salsiccia. Both pizzas arrived a little juicy and ended up leaking out the boxes. The dough was tasty and deliciously chewy, although the size of our capricciosa was odd-shaped with thick dough in some sections, so didn't stretch over the whole box.  Flavours in capricciosa were on point, olives and ham aplenty. <br/ <br/ Loved the salsiccia, and although the beautiful colours in the fresh radicchio fade out with the heat when delivered, the flavour combination of this with the mushrooms and truffle worked well. I thought the pork sausage was just a bit gluttonous and didn't really add too much.
