"Potential, but a let down" 
Eating good pizza while looking over beautiful views of Newcastle harbour, would have to be one of the best ways to spend a lazy Sunday afternoon. Unfortunately the pizza at BWP was not up to the task. It showed potential, but ended up falling well short of the mark.
The service was friendly and adequate - it was a reasonably quiet Sunday afternoon. Where this restaurant is really let down is with the food and price. Unfortunately I cant review the garlic bread, as it never arrived.
The pizzas look good on the menu, however what you end up with is a fantastic pizza base that is spoilt by being covered in too much sauce or sour cream. I don't mean a nice tomato sauce straight on the base either, I mean tomato sauce of the Heinz bottle variety, aioli or BBQ sauce in quantities that would drown a meat pie.
What you end up with is a mushy, syrupy sweet pizza that would be better served at a chain take away for $9.95 rather than at a sit down restaurant for $24. The price of the pizzas also rubs salt into the wound, they are not cheap or reasonable.
I ordered my pizza without the sour cream, why there's a huge blob of it on a pizza to start with I am not sure. Unfortunately it was put on and then removed in the kitchen, when it arrived at my table the signs were there of a lazy and poor attempt to clean it up. Very sloppy and lazy. We pointed this out to the waitress, however the response left us in no doubt that our point would go no further.
Overall, BWP is in a lovely setting and the food is not bad or the service terrible. Its just not as good as it could be. Perhaps the issue is expecting this pizza restaurant to serve good modern pizzas, where it appears to want to serve fast food quality at restaurant prices. …
