Last night I picked up dinner from UQ's Pizza Caffe. Pizza Caffe is a great destination for pizza. The pizzas are of such quality that they could be compared to gourmet pizza places, but without the high price (the price is even cheaper for UQ staff and students). There is a very large selection of pizzas to choose from; possibly the widest selection of pizzas I know of. As I was buying for my parents as well as me, I ordered three pizzas: Fellini, Histoires Extraordinairres, and Pasolini. Fellini is smoked salmon and parsley, and works very well. So well that I'm surprised salmon on pizza isn't more commonplace. Histories Extraordinairres is pepperoni, anchovies, olives, garlic and oregano. The pepperoni is probably the spiciest I have ever experienced on a pizza; definitely a plus. Most pizzas that have anchovies on them only have one anchovy per slice. However, Pizza Caffe gives you a better anchovy to slice ratio; another plus. The only problem with Histoires Extraordinairres is that the toppings are not evenly distributed across the pizza. Some slices were brimming with pepperoni and olives, others, less so. Pasolini is pancetta and potato. Potato is a good pizza topping, but I would have liked it to be seasoned a little more. Still satisfying though. A general criticism I have of Pizza Caffe is that the bases are of the thin and crispy variety, whereas I prefer a thicker, softer base. Nevertheless, Pizza Caffe is one of the best pizza places that I know of in Brisbane.
