Takeaway Feature June 2020
We’re staying in, staying safe and staying put to do our bit against COVID-19, but it doesn’t have to be mundane. When date night is no longer and your spark for cooking has fizzled, you know what you’ve got to do – support small and support local. It’s time for a takeaway treat, and it’s so tasty we shouldn’t have to tell you twice. Make it a new ritual: reinstate date night, try new foods or a new venue, or take it up a notch and try a new cuisine each time. Why not skip the grocery trip and get your fresh produce or local liquor delivered? It’s the pick of the Peninsula straight to your door – or picked up contactless. KATE SEARS

Grab a slice of old New York
Taste the Peninsula & Frankston’s
The history of New York-style pizza began with the opening of America’s first Napoletana pizzeria, Lombardi’s, by Gennaro Lombardi in the Little Italy neighbourhood of Manhattan in 1905. Over the past 100 years the traditional Napoletana Pizza evolved into the New York-style pizza with varieties that reflected the vast ethnic diversity of the city. With classics such as the mexicana and americana, New York had made its mark on traditional pizza. At Wall St Pizza Co, we celebrate the fusion of traditional Napoletana Pizza and New York City diversity, serving old-school pizza, pasta, steak, tapas and more. We use ‘00’ flour and twice proof our dough over 48-72 hours to produce a traditional napoletan base. We then use only premium fresh produce to give you a taste sensation with every bite. You can enjoy our menu dine-in at our vintage New York-style venue, take away, or delivered to your door. Wall St Pizza Co. We think inside the box.
