Yalla Yalla Pizzeria — Restaurant in Sydney

The best Lebanese pizzas I've ever tasted, not just in Sydney, but perhaps in all of Australia, can be found at this unassuming shop. Yalla Yalla Pizzeria is producing A-MA-ZING bites of heaven that surpass anything I've tried across Sydney and Melbourne, leaving competitors in the dust. Even the similar offerings at the Ramadhan night markets pale in comparison. If you know, you know 🤷🏻‍♂️

My initial introduction to Yalla Yalla Pizzeria was serendipitous. Returning from a work training session around 4:30, I ventured into the shop, only to discover they were closed for the day. Yet, one of the owners generously gifted me with two Lebanese pizzas. This act of kindness from a stranger left a lasting impression, prompting my return the following day.

My first order, the halloumi pie, was a revelation. From the pastry dough to the quality of cheese, every element was executed to perfection. The balance of cheese to pastry ratio and cook was simply sublime.

The next day, I indulged in the cheese, mushroom, and green Lebanese olive pie, which exceeded all expectations. Each bite was sensational, earning an A+++ rating. The olives added a delightful burst of acidity and saltiness, elevating the flavour profile.

For my subsequent lunch order, I opted for the halloumi, mushroom, and olive pie, accompanied by the zaatar veggie roll. The roll - fresh tomato, Lebanese cucumber, mint, and spring onions encased in a zaatar pizza! This unique combination left me questioning if I had ever tasted anything more delicious in Sydney for just $6. It was truly out of this world delicious!!!

If Yalla Yalla ever considers expanding their reach through quality marketing and upscale endeavors to have more shops in Sydney, I have no doubt they would be recognised as the gold standard. I wish them all the success, and despite living in the city, I will certainly be...

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ An Absolute Gem at Yalla Yalla – Dania is truly one of a kind! I love the food but I need to shout out Dania. I’ve been meaning to do this for a while!

I don’t usually write many reviews, but after experiencing the kind of care and attention Dania gives, I feel compelled to share just how incredible she is. Dania is not just an employee at Yalla Yalla — she’s the heart and soul of the place.

She has this unique ability to make you feel like family, not just a guest. The way she interacts with my children — kind, patient, and caring — speaks volumes about her character. She brings light, warmth, and positive energy to Yalla Yalla and makes every visit something to look forward to.

I’ve been a loyal customer at Yalla Yalla for the past two years, always ordering the same small peri peri pizza. It used to be my go-to spot — great taste, fair price, and consistent quality.

However, my recent visit left me disappointed. I waited almost 30 minutes for my order, while others who ordered after me were served first. I understand it’s a busy place, but that felt frustrating.

Also, the price has gone up to $13 from the $11 it had been for years — yet the portion size seems the same. Most disappointing of all, the pizza just doesn’t taste like it used to. The quality feels off, and even the look of the pizza has changed.

To show the difference, I’ve attached two pictures — one from before and one from today. The drop in quality is clear.

It’s sad to say this, but I don’t think I’ll be coming back. This used to be my favourite spot for peri peri pizza, but something’s definitely changed — and not for the better. (Pizza With greens , few months ago )

Thank you for the response. Just to clarify, the missing shallots weren’t the issue — I don’t eat them anyway.

My concern was about the long wait time and how orders were handled. I visited during peak lunch hours, so I completely understand that delays can happen. But it was frustrating to see customers who ordered after me being served first. I’ve noticed I’m not the only one this has happened to — at least one other review mentions the same issue, so it’s clearly not just a one-off experience.

I’ve always enjoyed coming here and never complained before, but this experience stood out enough that I felt it needed to be shared. My feedback isn’t about one missing ingredient — it’s about consistency, service, and the...
