UR Pizzeria

Nestled just outside the heart of the city, UR Pizzeria emerges as a beacon of culinary excellence, having opened its doors only a few days ago. Founded by the dynamic duo, Sunny and Sam, who already boast a successful venture with UR Caffe next door, this new addition to the culinary scene was a natural…

Sliders On Rundle

Joining the burger bandwagon is Sliders on Rundle, which is located at the former site of Alfresco’s.  This place is not purely dedicated to burgers as your pizza and pasta options (that were available at Alfresco’s) are still on the menu. You could almost say that this place has become Americanised Italian, with the addition…

Fasta Pasta – Rundle Place

Unlike all other Fasta Pasta chains, this one is located in a food court. You’re not going to get quality Italian food here, but you will get a cheap, consistent Italian fix. They even have $7.90 lunch specials on at the moment, so everything just got cheaper. Today, I ordered the Penne Rosso. The meal…

What A Treat Cafe

What A Treat Cafe were serving up their dishes at Adelaide’s annual Trampoline Day. Three types of salads and two types of patties were on offer as well as a small range of desserts. For lunch, I decided to have each of the salads with a curry patty. All the items were prepared off site…

Whitmore Hotel

If you manage to get to the Whitmore Hotel without getting mugged, you can take advantage of the $10 Pint and Parmi special that is on every Wednesday until the end of February. The former strip club, now turned pub, is basically decorated and offers all your traditional pub fare. The clientele are a bit…

Fasta Pasta – North Adelaide

I’ve been going to Fasta Pasta for years, albeit at various locations around Adelaide. The meals are quick, cheap and casual. The current promotion at the moment is their $7 lunches, which almost makes them irresistible. Today, I ordered the Ravioli Montavana, which is basically mushroom added to bolognese sauce. The ravioli was cooked well….

Caffe Primo – Adelaide CBD

While on my way to the Central Markets I noticed Caffe Primo had a $10 lunch special for pizza and pasta. Not for one item but both! Seeing this as a good lunch deal, I had no hesitation in walking in. Located in the new Franklin Street bus station building, this place is modernly decorated…

Marcellina’s

$10 lunch specials at Marcellina’s? I’m there! I’ve had their pizza before but was now tempted to try some of their pasta. This is the flagship store for the Marcellina franchise and has been around for over 40 years. The place has been refurbished to give a more modern feel. The staff here are friendly and…

Lucia’s

Apparently Lucia’s is an Adelaide institution. Located in the Central Markets, this place has been around for over half a century. I’ve seen this place packed every time I’ve walked past, so it’s obvious that they’re doing something right. The decor probably hasn’t changed since it first opened, and the atmosphere is relaxed. The staff…

Fasta Pasta – South Tce

When I want to go out for cheap Italian, this place is one step up from getting Italian food at a food court. It’s probably miles behind the best Italian restaurant, but the food here is cheap and the service is usually good. I remember when this particular store was located on Pirie Street. It…
