I have been eyeing off Old School Pizza on Instagram for ages, especially their plate sized pizza slices! I didn’t realise how extensive their menu was, so I was excited when I was invited to visit and try their new pancake/waffle stack. I took a friend on a cute brunch date and we were going to order two of the stacks, but decided to have one sweet and one savoury dish. I’m glad we decided to do that, because both the serves were absolutely massive and there was no way we could have finished two sweet dishes that size. We started with coffees and said no to trying their freak shakes as we wanted to save ourselves for the mains.
My friend ordered the smashed avocado with a side of bacon and we both gasped when it was brought to the table – it was huge! It was served on open focaccia bread and came with two poached eggs on top and a very generous serve of avocado, tomato and feta. The best thing about this dish was the size at a regular price. I reckon it was double the size of a standard, Melbourne smashed avo.
I couldn’t go past ordering the Curly Wurly pancake/waffle stack. I was originally planning on getting the Kinder Surprise, but Curly Wurly is my favourite nostalgic chocolate. Again, the serving size was absolutely massive! It was a stack of two waffles and two pancakes topped with a massive scoop of honeycomb ice-cream and surrounded by wafer sticks, chunks of curly Wurly and fresh strawberries. I decided to just attack the waffles with the ice cream and strawberries and snacked on the choccie afterwards. I asked the waitress if anyone had every finished it, and she said that only two people had and one of them was a body builder on cheat day.
Georgia, the waitress who looked after us, was an absolute legend. She checked in on us regularly and made sure that we always had everything that we needed and also took great pride in making my pancakes look amazing. If you live out this way, or are ever in the neighbourhood, definitely hit up Old School Pizza – definitely pay them a visit. I will definitely go back soon to try the pizzas – they looked outstanding. A great venue, with great food and fantastic staff. Thanks for having us, team! ☺
