About Scugnizzi

Brisbane CBD workers slip into this cramped Adelaide Street takeaway counter for authentic Roman street food served at breakneck speed. The main draw is pizza al taglio—thick, focaccia-style slabs with a crackling crust, piled with eggplant on the vegetarian Ortolana or mortadella and pistachio. City regulars order ahead via the app to grab hot bowls of carbonara or octopus ragu on the fly, though a few counter stools let solo diners eat and dash on the spot. Finish with a square of their pistachio tiramisu.

  • Roman Pizza al Taglio: Thick, crackling focaccia-like slabs sliced and reheated to order with toppings like mortadella and pistachio.
  • Fast CBD Takeaway: Compact counter setup with a mobile pre-order system built for rapid workday pickups and quick stool dining.
  • Pistachio Tiramisu: A rich, nutty spin on the Italian classic that closes out a takeaway box.
  • Fresh Burrata Bowls: Bright, ingredient-led counter plates that provide a fresh, quick midday bite.

    Pre-ordered hot pasta dishes and pizza selections are prepped and waiting on arrival without eating into work breaks.

  • Crispy Roman-Style Pizza al Taglio

    Authentic Roman-style pizza al taglio baked with airy, crispy crusts and authentic Italian toppings.

    The base was perfectly crunchy, and the toppings had that authentic, almost homemade flavour that’s hard to find.

  • Authentic Filled Focaccia and Slices

    Generously filled focaccia and square-cut pizza slices crafted with premium Italian ingredients.

    I tried the mortadella and pistachio focaccia, and it was absolutely out of this world.

  • Speedy Takeaway and Counter Bites

    A focused street-food counter designed for quick, informal dine-and-dash meals without full-service overhead.

    This is more of a takeaway joint, but there are a few seats available for a quick eat and dash.

  • Low-Commitment Eat-and-Run Seating

    Compact bench and counter setup offering a satisfying solo lunch or quick dinner for two without high costs.

Before you head over

Practical advice on ordering ahead, seating limits, and party sizes for a smooth visit.

  • Order ahead during work hours

    Order ahead through the app or website to bypass the lunchtime queue, as pasta and Roman pizza slices can be collected hot and ready on arrival.

  • Plan on takeaway due to minimal seating

    Seating is limited to a handful of bench stools (around 7–8 seats), so plan to take your meal away to a nearby park or spot unless you are eating solo or doing a fast eat-and-dash.

  • Keep group sizes small

    Space inside this compact shopfront is tight, noisy, and not built for groups, so keep your party small (one or two people) or prepare to stand if dropping by during peak times.
