Week 3: Moving in!

Hello again & welcome to week 3! The first order of business this week was finally moving into my dorm room on campus. The rooms in my dorm, Colombo House, are all single bedrooms with attached bathrooms. There is also a shared kitchen where we have fridge, freezer, and pantry space and can cook. Here is the view from my room:

A horse racetrack! My room overlooks the Royal Randwick Racecourse where there are horse races! Unfortunately, I only saw them practicing this week, but I can’t wait to attend the next race or even just watch it from the dorm. 

Once I had moved into my dorm, it was much easier to get myself organized and explore campus. I love doing work in the morning at Plume, my favorite on-campus coffee shop, and then walking or running to the beach to get some exercise in and swim in the afternoon. 

Unfortunately, my week took a turn when I felt myself getting sick. Luckily, I tested negative for covid and was able to use my health insurance to find a same-day doctor. He gave me a prescription which I brought into a local pharmacy and I was able to get medicine within an hour. Very convenient!

I was feeling a bit better the next day and decided to venture out to dinner at Gigi in Newtown after doing work in the library all day. The pizza was absolutely amazing — I definitely recommend! After dinner, we explored the bars around the area and found some cool spots & speakeasies to grab drinks at. 

On Friday it was pretty gloomy again, so I did work and grabbed lunch with a couple friends from Michigan Engineering who also live in my dorm. Then I traveled to Redfern to meet up with a friend from home and went to two cool bars closer to downtown. The nightlife isn’t super prominent here, but it is still fun and a great way to meet new people from everywhere!

On Saturday, I traveled 45 minutes to Glebe Markets, an all-day Saturday market area with tons of stalls filled with vintage clothes, jewelry, records, and all kinds of other gizmos & gadgets. I will definitely be coming back another Saturday! Afterwards, I bought some cooking supplies at kmart and tried the “Australian Chipotle” called Guzman y Gomez…and it was pretty terrible in comparison to Chipotle. After coming home, we went out to the Coogee Pavilion (a favorite spot, as I'm sure you've gathered) and ended up at Bondi at midnight for late-night thai food which was incredible. 

After a few days of gloomy weather and doing work inside, today (Monday) was finally sunny again, so I headed to breakfast and then to the beach (seriously, is anyone surprised) with a couple new friends. Now, I’m getting ready for a group dinner at Bondi!

Wow, that was a lot of catching up! The past few weeks have been fun and pretty calm, but next week the traveling finally starts, so keep an eye out for the next post from a new location!

Best Woodfire Pizza in Sydney

Whether you’re a pizza enthusiast or just someone looking for a new place to try, Sydney has a wide variety of great pizza places. You can’t go wrong with a classic pizza like cheese and pepperoni, or something more adventurous like a spicy eggplant pizza.

Lane Cove’s answer to true Neapolitan pizza

Whether you’re on the hunt for the best pizza in Lane Cove or looking to pick up a bargain, you’ve come to the right place. Not only are you in luck, you’re also in the company of some of the most effervescent locals around. The town is also home to some of the best cafes and cafeterias in Sydney.

The best place to sample the local wares is the Village Shopping Centre on Burns Bay Road. You’ll find a wide array of dining options including a well stocked LaPiazza, a fancy restaurant a la carte and the sexiest of all, the aforementioned aptly named Via Napoli.

Newtown’s Gigi’s Pizzeria

Gigi’s Pizzeria has been around for six years. The tastiest thing on the menu is the woodfire pizza. Gigi’s has been rated the best pizza in the region. They are also one of the few artisanal pizza joints in the state. They also have one of the largest wine lists in the state, including the best chardonnay. One of the best things about Gigi’s is that they are open to the public. The only drawback is the fact that they are closed on Sundays and Mondays. The restaurant also has a good reputation amongst locals, especially in the summer months.

Surry Hills’ Via Napoli

Whether you are looking for a woodfire pizza in Sydney or a traditional Neapolitan pizzeria, Via Napoli Pizzeria Surry Hills has the options for you. This Italian restaurant is a popular pizzeria in Lane Cove and Hunters Hill and has recently opened a branch in Surry Hills. The pizzeria has an online menu, so you can order your pizza online. Whether you are looking for an Italian meal for lunch or dinner, Via Napoli has the perfect pizza for you.

Via Napoli is a family run business led by third generation pizzaiolo Luigi Esposito. The pizzeria uses San Marzano tomatoes for the sauce and imported buffalo mozzarella for the toppings. The staff are Italian friendly and efficient.

Hunters Hill’s Glorietta

Located in the hub of the Northern Beaches, Glorietta is a neighborhood restaurant in its own right. Despite its lack of glitzy interiors, it’s a family friendly establishment with a tasty menu that’s sure to please even the pickiest of eaters.

The restaurant’s signature woodfire pizza is a no brainer, especially if you’re looking for a quick and tasty meal for two. The place also features a fun and family friendly kids’ menu with a Mickey Mouse pizza among the offerings. The restaurant also boasts an award-winning open plan dining room, making it one of the more enjoyable places to eat in Sydney.

Dimitri’s Pizzeria

Whether you’re a pizza lover or a pizza snob, Dimitri’s Pizzeria is one of Sydney’s best woodfire pizza restaurants. Located on Oxford Street in Darlinghurst, the pizzeria specialises in 100% sourdough bases and creative toppings. In addition to pizza, the restaurant offers artisan pasta dishes, local craft beers, and natural wines.

The menu is based on a family-owned Italian recipe. Pizzas are baked in a woodfire oven and served with fresh ingredients. The restaurant also serves salads, pasta, and desserts. The menu changes with the seasons and features locally sourced produce.

Bella Brutta

LP’s Quality Meats owner Luke Powell is bringing his pizza experience to the city with his newest venture, Bella Brutta Woodfire Pizza Sydney. The Sydney pizzeria is located in Newtown and is set to open in September.

The pizzas are made with real wood-fired pizza ovens. The dough is proofed for 48 hours. The pizza is then hand-stretched and baked. Often the pizzas have creative toppings. Bella Brutta has a few vegan pizzas and also serves pastas. The restaurant also offers wine and non-alcoholic drinks.

Bella Brutta’s pizzas are made from long-fermented dough that is dressed with whorls of mortadella. The pizza is then topped with surf clams and cavolo nero. The pizza is finished with a touch of truffle oil.

My Mother’s Cousin

Located in the quiet suburb of Bexley North, My Mother’s Cousin is a New York inspired pizza joint. This pizza restaurant is open Wednesday and Thursday evenings, but is also open outside of the peak dinner time. Unlike many chain pizza restaurants, this pizza joint serves pizzas that are made with love, rather than using a pre-made dough.

The pizzas are piled with delicious toppings, and are cooked in a woodfired oven. The dough is fermented for 48 hours before being cooked, so you can expect the flavour of your pizza to be authentic.
