Jacq's B'day at Criniti's, Darling Harbour

16 March 2011, 02:26


OH HAI! LOOK AT ALL THAT BEEEEEEER! Oh yes totes worth the capital letters no? It was Jacq’s b’day and what better way to celebrate than with lots and lots of beer??? We hungry humans had scored free beer and entrees at Criniti’s (Shop 461, Level 2 Harbourside Shopping Centre, Darling Harbour) and to kick start our night we ordered the 3L table keg ($69.90) of Peroni (tho you can choose any of their tap beer) mmm beer and ooh novelty!


Me and Richard were concentrating so very hard


Knowing we were about to ingest a whole lotta pizza we decided to share an entree of Insalata Caprese ($26.90) aka the magical burratta, I WANTS YOUR BABIES! The mozzarella ball innards weren’t uber oozy but was still delish and creamy and paired perfectly with the ripe tomatoes doused in olive oil, pepper, basil and oregano. Next time I ain’t sharing, Helen!


BEHOLD! Now THIS my friends is the legendary 1 metre pizza! They also come in normal ‘traditional’ sizes and also a half meter size; with the one-metre pizza you can get up to 3 toppings but prices range from $80-$90 depending on toppings.


The pizza oh how it mocks! Never will you finish me! But we did! Perfect pizza base with even amounts of cheese and not super overloaded with toppings. And we were oh so full until we saw the dessert menu…


Happy Birthday Jacq! Ooh sparklers :D


We cannot, of course, go past the Nutella pizza ($20.90), with crisp, light pastry topped with rivers of molten Nutella ooh baby


Sadly the Apple Crumble pizza ($21.90) was lacking in crumble but by then we were all pizza’d out and ended up scavenging for apple pieces for some form of greenery of the night.


We stumble away for some more drinkies and some happy fuzzy memories of dancing the night away [like a g6 like a g6]. Happy birthday Jacq!

[ Thoughts to peeps in Japan. Be strong. Be safe. ]
