About Beachside Pizza Co

Beachside Pizza Co turns out thin, sourdough-style crusts with serious chew, skipping standard shred for deli-grade sopressa and spiced sujuk. A tiny spot tucked off Nepean Highway, it lets long-fermented dough do the heavy lifting—crisp underneath, light enough to avoid any sluggish aftermath, and finished with house-made tomato base or white garlic. Regulars routinely bypass closer options across bayside to grab pies hot from the oven and head two minutes down to Chelsea Beach, pairing blistered slices with cold Italian soda on the sand.

  • Slow-Fermented Crust: Dough rests 38 to 72 hours like sourdough, yielding a light, crisp base that never feels heavy.
  • Deli-Grade Cuts: Toppings favor quality deli cuts like spicy Turkish sujuk and sopressa over standard pizza meat.
  • Chelsea Beach Run: Boxes are routinely ferried a couple of minutes down to the sand for sunset dinners by the water.

  • Deli-Grade Meats and Fresh Ingredients

    Pizzas skip standard bulk shredded salami in favor of premium deli cuts like sopressa and sujuk with organic sauce and fresh toppings.

    That awful shredded salami on the base does not exist here - only $40+ p/kg deli options such as Sopressa or other imported salami.
