Attention Brunswick residents: Your prayers have been answered The Penny Black now has awesome cheap pizzas. From the visionaries that bought you Bimbo Deluxe and The Lucky Coq, The Penny Black now has a kick-ass pizza menu that includes the Lo Zenzero Prawn ($8.50). This tasty seafood pizza is seasoned with ginger, garlic, chilli, coriander, Caesar dressing, lemon and bean sprouts that masterfully coaslese around the star of the dish – the prawns. The ‘tang’ of this dish is offset beautifully by a pint of Carlton lager, this combination is what the Beat Eats team was treated to as we enjoyed the expansive beer garden on balmy Sunday evening as we watched Australian humiliate the English (again) in the first One Day International by 7 wickets.
The other pizza ordered was the Mexiwick that is loaded with chicken mince marinated in taco spices, iceberg lettuce salsa and mozzarella. The taco spice gives one hell of kick to this tasty dish. One particularly hungry member of the Beat Eats team insisted on trying the desert pizza ‘Banana Pizza’ that involves mascarpone, maple syrup and errr… bananas. Suffice to say it was delicious.
The soundtrack for this perfect meal and tasty beverage was an indie DJ playing ’90s big beat bangers and indie classics such as The Strokes Is This It.
