Al Taglio.

Al Taglio redefines the neighborhood pizzeria by treating dough as an art form. Renowned as Sydney’s first gourmet pizzeria, this relaxed Surry Hills spot eschews standard formulas in favor of a 48-hour fermented sourdough base, baked in a state-of-the-art electric oven to produce a remarkably light crust with crisp edges. The toppings bridge regional Italian heritage with creative, seasonal Australian produce—think amatriciana sauce paired with pecorino cream and pancetta, or prosciutto alongside pickled pumpkin. Backed by organic wines, craft beers, and imported cheeses, the menu also thoughtfully accommodates gluten-free, vegan, and vegetarian diners. With its open-plan dining room and breezy outdoor seating, it delivers a distinctly modern, Sydney-centric Italian experience.
