Pizza Noosa

Pizza Noosa

Story of El Capitano Pizzeria and Bar. Is this the best pizza in Noosa? The newest addition to Noosa Heads' thriving restaurant and bar scene is El Capitano Pizzeria and Bar. Situated between Café Le Monde and Betty's Burgers (across the road from Noosa Surf Club and the Tourism Noosa Visitor Information Centre) the pizzeria is upstairs within the Ocean Breeze Resort Complex. The laneway entry on Hastings St features a bespoke "secret door" that winds its way up the stairs into a stunning nautical themed dining room and bar. The experience is reminiscent of a New York speak easy prohibition bar but with amazing pizza. It's the type of place you would expect to see Hemingway perched at the bar.

El Capitano Pizzeria and Bar is brought to you by the team behind Belmondos Organic Market, Clandestino Roasters Specialty Coffee, Café Le Monde, Noosa Cleanse and Tanglewood Organic Sourdough Bakery. The design was a collaboration between Ryan Taylor, Nathan Ramsay and Andrew Bock. The main drawcard though is the pizza. Utilizing the same artisan techniques used in Tanglewood Sourdough Bakery, the El Capitano Pizza is made using ACO certified organic flour and a 36hour fermentation. The slow natural leavening gives the dough its unique flavour and makes the crumb slightly chewy and sweet. The slow ferment breaks down the acetic and phytic acid in the grain making this sourdough pizza better for digestion. Ingredients are locally sourced and fresh. The local growers and producers at the Noosa farmers markets feature heavily on the menu.
