Da Orazio Pizza + Porchetta to Open New Chapter in CBD
Will it also have a woodfire stove crane-lifted in?
Bondi's beloved Neapolitan pizza, 100 percent handmade and traditionally woodfired, is coming to the CBD. Not content with the chilled out, communal dining vibes of Bondi, Da Orazio Pizza + Porchetta's Maurice Terzini has plans to extend his particular brand of stripped-back Italian to the city.
Confirming plans with Good Food, Terzini is looking at possibly opening a new chapter of the super popular pizza institution in the CBD — perhaps on Sussex or Bridge Street. "It won't be exactly the same. It'll be an extension of what we're doing at Bondi. It might be Da Orazio Pizza and an enoteca, or a trattoria," he told GF.
It remains to be seen whether head chef Orazio d'Elia (ex-Popolo) will move into the big city lights, or whether Melbourne architect Matthew Herbert will be on board — the man responsible for that slick, white communal dining vibe at the Bondi eatery. Then we're wondering whether this will be a six-hour, slow roasted pig sitch (the + Porchetta side of things) or whether Terzini will be content to have another woodfire pizza stove flown in from Napoli and transported to the site via crane, like the Bondi chapter.
Terzini has a significant amount on his proverbial plate, having just today announced the annual, exclusive New Year's Day party at Bondi Icebergs and just a few weeks ago launching Sunday brunch there. You need something done, give it to a busy person.
