Newcastle City guide & map

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. …

Well found it interesting that both Pizza place and the cafe were under the same banner didnt know they were related business. We had a sunday breakfast at Starfish cafe on our visit up their and found it to be really busy but the staff were still courteous and quick to get you seated, with water and cutlery. I had the Pancakes with berries which were great and my wife had the vege frittata (hope thats how its spelt) which was surprisingly large for the money. We liked it so much we went to go back for Dinner Monday night not realising winter trade ment they were closed for dinner so we went basically next door to Blue water pizza for their monday night pizza deal (all pizza's under $14.00 i think it was $13.90) any way i had a salmon pizza which was awesome the kids menu was decent value but a kids menu. My wife had the snitzel with garlic sauce and said it was the best she has had in ages. (she loves Her snitzels) anyway all in all loved this area will be back for sure ;) …

We recently went to Blue Water Pizza for a friends birthday. It was our treat and her choice. We hadn't been to Blue Water before so thought we would give it a go. Admittedly we arrived quite late in the evening and were unsure if we could still be seated. The waitress assured us that it would be fine. We placed our orders and the food arrived within ten minutes. During our meal we actually had one of the tables we were eating from removed by one of the wait staff who was packing up. We were subject to a barrage of moving furniture and inattentive staff. At one stage we were refused drinks from the bar by the waitress who told us "You wouldn't believe it...we just ran out of that particular drink" Upon arrival at Blue Water Pizza we were told by staff that we only had five minutes to place an order. We indicated that if they were packing up we would go elsewhere to which the response was No please stay.. Basically, Blue Water Pizza is happy to take your money but make you feel like you are sitting in the back of a removal van dying of thirst.. I'm just glad we are not visitors to Newcastle...how embarassing.. …
