Overview
It's ace when it's warm and fresh out of the oven. It's great cold and eaten the next day for breakfast. And it's even better when it's free. We're talking about the topping-laden dish Fratelli Famous Pizzeria has landed high praise for in Sydney and Melbourne. And yes, they're about to give some away to the pizza-loving Brisbane masses to celebrate their new Eagle Street Pier store.
Now, that's how you announce your arrival: with 500 free pizzas. Those keen on their own round, doughy creation made from homemade bases and decked out with your choice of over 35 toppings just need to do two things. First, connect with the new store on Facebook or Instagram. Then, show up at 11am on Friday, December 16 and prepare to wait in line.
For those who haven't experienced Fratelli's fare previously, four words are key: make your own pizza. You can also build your own salads, should that be your preferred meal — and preferred way of making friends.
Fratelli's fresh and famous chain makes the leap to Queensland after setting Sydneysiders' stomachs aflutter, and then setting up shop in Melbourne earlier this year. Fratelli Famous is the food court-style, quick-cooked spin-off version of Fratelli Fresh, with the former showcasing Italian fine dining for a few years now, and the latter first launching in August. Expect to hear more about Fratelli Famous, too, with 100 stores planned nationwide over the next five years. Given they've just been snapped by up the new hospitality conglomeration that is Rockpool Dining Group, expect big things all round.
Find Fratelli Famous Pizzeria at Eagle Street Pier, 2/45 Eagle Street, Brisbane from December 16. For more information, check out their website and Facebook page.
