Pauly's Pizza New Norfolk

I did a Google search of our local pizza place, Pauly's Pizza and discovered two interesting things: firstly in 2020, Pauly's won best pizza in Hobart. Impressive, no? The other wonderful thing I discovered was an amazing dude who goes by the name of Tas Daz Down Under. Tas Daz is a Tasmanian chap who I assume lives not far from me and does YouTube food reviews.

Courtesy of New Norfolk and Derwent Valley News:

Tas Daz, who was featured in the article, rated Pauly's very highly (he goes on to review several of Pauly's Pizzas). I think he's hilarious and also a metal head for bonus points. I also love that he reviews local restaurants. Not just fancy schmancy ones (like a certain blogger *loosens collar*) and it has inspired me. Now that I live in the small community of the Derwent Valley I want to support local and if my blog gets another customer through the door of a locally owned business than it will have been worth it, and thank you Tas Daz, as you have gotten me through two doors already and more to follow. (Burger review coming soon).

I'm going to link his video below, however be careful, I started watching and ended up still watching four hours later.

Let's get down to business... Pizza business!

So Gudge and I make the drive into New Norfolk to try a couple of Pauly's Pizzas.

It's very handy that they have the pizza sizes on the front windows, and with eyes as big as our stomachs we decide on a family each. I go for a Supreme (bacon, onion, pineapple, capsicum, mushroom, cheese) and Gudge opts for a Pepperoni (salami, pepperoni, capsicum, cheese) at $18 each or 2 for $35).

The store is clean, anything-but-fancy, however the staff are lovely and attentive. We place our order and are told it will be around fifteen minutes so go for a little wander through New Norfolk.

On our return an older gentleman is leaving the restaurant and holds the door for me. "Thank you, enjoy your pizza" I remark, "I will, and you will too, trust me" he responds.

We collect the two heavy boxes and take them down to the park for Pizza Picnic.

...I hope we do

I start with a piece of my Supreme, the very large, very hefty Supreme. It is absolutely delightful. The base is excellent, great crunch on the bottom and crust. Fantastic amount of toppings, and perfect balance of flavour. Overall a very excellent pizza.

I also try Gudge's Pepperoni. All the fantastic elements of mine with the punchy, spicy flavour of cured sausage.

It's so big it doesn't fit into a photo!

Okay, so I love Pauly's Pizza. They're not trying to be anything else, they're just doing pizza the way Domino's wishes it could do pizza and I enjoyed it a lot.

We have almost a whole pizza for leftovers (edit, I ate a cold piece while writing this and it was STILL amazing) so I think these are great value for money. Judging by the amount of people in the store early evening Wednesday, I believe Pauly's has proven themselves to the local community and has an obvious following. I applaud their award of Best Pizza and can certainly say these are the best pizzas I have had in some time.
