Compass: Old-School Charm Meets Modern Pizzeria Vibes in Brunswick

Taking over the former La Bussola site, Compass keeps the spirit of the original alive—with its glossy brown bricks, wrought-iron gates, and wood-fired oven—while steering things in a fresh new direction.

Pizza with a Retro Heart

The menu tips its hat to tradition with classics like marinara and capricciosa, but also plays with the formula. A favourite among locals, The Green Goat comes layered with pesto, zucchini, broccoli, rocket, and goat’s cheese—a veggie combo that still packs plenty of punch. If you’re craving something heartier, look to the pasta section: think prawn and guanciale spaghetti, vodka-chilli orecchiette, or a crowd-pleasing house parmigiana.

Laidback Feels, Local Sips

Inside, a neon-red glow and open kitchen create a buzzing, almost party-like atmosphere. The drinks list leans local, with Balter beers and Aussie wines made from Italian grapes—the perfect complement to a bubbling slice or bowl of pasta. Both nostalgic and new, Compass nails the neighbourhood pizzeria brief with style and substance.
