Located at 6/106 Birkdale Road, Birkdale - La Pizza Pazza Birkdale is a family owned and run delicatessen, coffee bar and food heaven that serves home-made pizzas, ready baked pasta dishes, artisanal breads and pastries as well as stocking a mouth-watering array of imported and locally made deli items.

Owner, Mauro Trevisan, hails from a town called Vicenza in Italy which is about 40km from Venice where these small coffee bar come delicatessens abound, each one with its own specialities.

Shops filled with home-made pasta dishes, and, where cheeses like Provolone, Pecorino and Parmesan fill the windows and Mozzarella di Buffola, Ricotta, Gorgonzola fill the fridges, Salami and prosciutto made by the local Salumeria, sit alongside anti-pasto dishes such as marinated artichokes, olives and peppers.

The smell of freshly baked breads and pastries, entice the customers to buy the freshly made panini or pastries to have with their espresso or cappuccino, while meeting with their friends or just chatting to the other locals, surrounded by shelves filled with dry pasta goods, assorted risottos, Italian biscuits and confectionery, olive oils and vinegars, pesto sauces, and all other things Italian to take home.

Mauro's vision is to give the people in Birkdale and surrounds just such a shop, allowing the locals to have a taste of Italy on their doorstep. His specialities are home-made pizzas, ready baked pasta dishes, artisanal breads and pastries served with really good coffee.

All products have been sourced either from Italy or are Australian made by Italian specialists in their field.
