Longest Pizza in Sydney?
So before you get the wrong impression I did actually share this beast — only because I had to though :-). It seems Hurricanes at Darling Harbour has some competition for the ribs, big salads and carnivore market although I still preferred the pork ribs at Hurricanes. The pizza was good and shared between 8 people. We intended to have this as an entree starter but soon realised we could have happily sat on this with perhaps some salads and dessert for the whole dinner — I'll know for next time. I reckon if you had 8 people go for the 1 metre pizza which can combine 3 different toppings and then check out the Dessert Platter which includes 11 desserts for $65.90, yeah come to mamma!
The entree sized pasta dishes are huge and I think 2 people could possibly share one with a salad which are also large yet priced accordingly. Service is very quick and efficient except when four of the waiters got a little distracted chatting up six young lady diners next to us — guys will be guys :-) The kitchen was pumping out the food and if you're lucky enough to sit out on the balcony you'll get a nice few of Darling Harbour. It seems to be a very popular place for birthdays which we were there for too — while dining there were at least 6 other happy birthday cheers around the large dining area when the dessert cake came out.
SNAPSHOT REVIEW:
PROS: Efficient service, large portions, tasty food
CONS: Popular, Noisy, Can be expensive if you over order
