By: Zoe Crane, 03 September 2021

Everybody loves pizza, and kids are no exception. Even the fussiest of eaters will scoff down a gooey Margherita pizza. In recent years there has been an explosion of restaurants serving authentic Italian style pizza, and you don’t need to give up on style to find somewhere that welcomes the kids. Now some of the best restaurants for kids are also the best for parents.

Making the experience even more fun, these Sydney pizza artisans and restaurants offer something unique which will turn any family pizza night into a special occasion.

A movie and pizza night at home with the family is not only a treat for the kids, but with no cooking or washing up, you get some time to relax with your family too. Staying home doesn’t mean you need to eat sub-par pizza though.

The Pizza Artisan, Riccardo Moretti, is now delivering his ready-made, restaurant-quality pizzas direct to your door with same-day delivery in Sydney. With classic and gourmet creations, you can stock up on your favourite flavours or create a mixed box. For an interactive and fun family experience, you can also order Riccardo's Family Fun Pack including 5 x 10” pizza bases, Mutti Pizza Sauce and Mozzarella Cheese for $30. It's a delicious way to keep kids entertained while they make their own dinner.

At Epic Pizza in Darlinghurst and Enmore, you can order New York-style pizza in a range of take-away combos. They have a huge selection of classic, artisan and veggie pizzas, or you can build your own, for delivery.
