Arthur's Pizza, Maroubra

Maroubra is a gorgeous suburb right by the beach. When you're hungry, why not go for some Italian? I check out Arthur's Pizza with carbs on my mind.

From the front, you may think that Arthur's Pizza is a small take away shop however as I take a few more steps into the store, I notice a spacious area with multiple tables inside. To kick off the meal, Matt enjoys a nice refreshing beer while I go for a cheeky sangria.

Matt enjoys eating the Meat Balls ($12) as a starter. The meat balls are served in a rich, thick tomato based sauce with a hint of herbs. I also enjoy a side of Salad of rocket, parmesan and pear ($13) with tomato and onion. I immediately start eating the salad to balance out my meal as I am ready for the on-slaught of carbs. The meat balls and salad are enjoyable to eat but I'm ready for the main attraction.

Matt chooses the pizza and I'm happy with his choice of Campollo (medium, $16) which has chicken fillets, semi-dried tomatoes, red onion, camembert and basil. The flavour combination is just simply on point. The chicken absorbs all those semi dried tomato flavours and it's further enhanced by the heavenly cheese. The pizza base is very thin with a crispy crust. I could easily eat a whole pizza to myself but I will share of course.

Also I order a Fettucini Bosciola ($14), which is fast becoming my go to pasta dish. I love the creamy textures with subtle flavours of bacon and mushrooms. A fettucini bosciola is the perfect dish to eat in addition to that pizza. I think this dish is best shared with a pizza. The flavours just come together nicely. The cream is not heavy, it is evenly coated on the fettucini which I gobble up.

Summary: Overall, I really enjoyed my meal at Arthur's Pizza. The campollo pizza was really delicious and I would also recommend the fettucini bosciola as well!! I think best enjoyed with a group of friends. I think everything is very reasonably priced as well so it won't break the bank.
