Paolo’s Pizza Bar

Best Known For

Gourmet pizza and pasta dishes such as linguine allo scoglio with prawns, mussels, calamari and clams in spicy cherry tomato sauce.

Experience a touch of Naples right in the heart of Hervey Bay at Paolo’s Pizza Bar on The Esplanade in Torquay. On balmy days, sit alfresco and people watch across from the beachfront, or head indoors where a moody vibe of dark charcoal-coloured walls, whitewashed brick and cartoon-style artwork adorns walls and an imported Italian wood-fired pizza oven takes pride of place. As tantalising aromas in the air, contemplate starters such as beer-battered calamari, prawns, vegetables, croquettes, aioli and rocket; before pasta plates of casacrecce al salmone – salmon, capers and red onion in pink sauce with rocket and smoked salmon. Pizza slices like pesto pollo with basil pesto, mozzarella, chicken, mushrooms, onion and Parmesan always hit the mark; finish sweetly with authentic tiramisu.
