Messina Eats Pizza Oltra

Messina Eats Pizza Oltra

Pizza Oltra — your friendly neighbourhood pizza bar is popping up at Messina HQ Marrickville on the 12th & 13th July, 12pm – late.

In an epic prelude to their big opening at Poor Toms distillery later this year, we're welcoming Pizza Oltra to Marrickville with a block party, as our soon-to-be neighbours.

Currently based out of Central Station's Eddy Avenue precinct, City Oltra is the creation of Ben Fester and Drew Huston (ex Dimitri's).  Known for their vibing playlists, deep dish square pies and larger than life American style pizza rounds.  

The Messina Eats pop up will see them bring a couple of specials and staff favourites — rounds are available by the slice or whole and square slabs by the slice, along with ranch and crispy chilli oil dippers.  Need something to whet your appetite?  Start with crumbed and fried lasagna bites, in a rich red sauce.

The Messina pastry chefs will be plating up a Malten–Misu for dessert — layers of malt custard, coffee and marsala-soaked sponge, choc malt crumble, milo gelato and warm tiramisu sabayon, dusted with Milo.

Pop over to our Messina Creative bar for all your drink needs.  Mulled lambrusco, Doom Juice wine, gelato spiders as well as a custom strawberries & cream highball cocktail in partnership with Swillhousethe tastemakers behind The Caterpillar Club, Restaurant Hubert and some of Sydney's best venues. 

Swill Mag will be appearing amongst a pop up stand, selling all of their issues and merch — also ready to chat all things food, drinks, creativity and culture.

Menu:

When: Friday & Saturday 12th – 13th July, 12pm – late

Where: 1 Rich Street, Marrickville
