What began as a humble weekend pop-up is now a fully fledged eatery. Eat Ozzo in Pyrmont started with a simple idea: baking Neapolitan-style bread-based sandwiches that are anything but basic. Six months ago, owner Chandni Thakur swapped corporate spreadsheets for sandwiches – and the result is this Italian-inspired go-to you need to swing by.
The bread is the real MVP. Their dough is fermented for at least 48 hours with just flour, water and salt as ingredients (no additives allowed), then wood-fired at 400°C until it’s pillowy, chewy, blistered – and ready for action.
Their signature wallet pizzas are folded – as the name suggests – like a wallet, and packed with punchy flavours. Try the mortadella mayhem with whipped ricotta and a slather of Gelato Messina (yes, really!) pistachio butter; the Spanish roast beef with potatoes and salsa verde; or the cowboy chicken loaded with spicy chook, slaw and honey mustard. Vegetarians can grab the Greek cauli with cauliflower that’s roasted in their wood-fire oven to get that charry goodness, and vegans will be pleased with the satay tofu number for a protein-fuelled (and tasty) meal.
But Eat Ozzo is more than just sandwiches. They serve up Five Senses coffee, nourishing grain bowls and takeaway treats that are worth slowing down for – especially with those water views.
Speaking of which, Eat Ozzo is in a prime location. It’s tucked under The Star, next to the Sydney Lyric Theatre and a short stroll from Darling Harbour – which makes it the perfect pit stop for a pre-show dinner, a quick office lunch break, or a leisurely Saturday meal with mates. And yes, it’s dog-friendly.
