We are a family from Melbourne staying in Caloundra where dinner choices are poor and no great places to book in this area of Caloundra. Kids wanted pizza so did the search and found this place. Food looks great and was delicious. Pizzas are Woodfire and ingredients fresh. Service was great too and very friendly. Highly recommend venturing out of area and going here.

We come here regularly, but over the last few months the meals have gotten worse. Portions are getting smaller, food quality is going down. Last night I ordered a 200g rump and received 2 small medallions about the size of a fifty cent coin. Two weeks before I ordered nachos, received corn chips with melted cheese and a few toppings, no meat or anything. Will start looking for another regular place.
