One would not expect a vegetarian to enjoy eating at a place called "the hunter". In fact when I first learnt the meaning of the real name, I was put off. But in truth La Cacciatora, known to me as Pizza-by-the-Metre serves fabulous pizzas, and yes they can be a metre long.
When I was at uni, I would visit this restaurant almost weekly. I liked the sunny outdoor tables, the Italian feel and of course the food.
The ortalana is a favourite because you get four different pizzas in one: capsicum, potato and onion, eggplant and zucchini. The ingredients are mixed with garlic, olive oil and bread crumbs giving them a delicious and distinctively Italian flavour.
We ordered a 50 cm pizza each. It was a struggle to finish, but easy to take away.
The staff, decor and menu for this establishment have been the same for many years. I still enjoy it. Despite the name.
