Compass: Old-School Charm Meets Modern Pizzeria Vibes in Brunswick
Taking over the former La Bussola site, Compass keeps the spirit of the original aliveβwith its glossy brown bricks, wrought-iron gates, and wood-fired ovenβwhile 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 goatβs cheeseβa veggie combo that still packs plenty of punch. If youβre 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 grapesβthe perfect complement to a bubbling slice or bowl of pasta. Both nostalgic and new, Compass nails the neighbourhood pizzeria brief with style and substance.
