  We are invited to dinner and I am pleased to see ample street parking nearby. There is also a Coles carpark across the road from Eden Lane. Warmly greeted by Manager Jonno, we ask for his recommendations and place our order for drinks and dinner.* Aperitif Cocktails: Negroni, Americano, Aperol Spritz are beautiful, refreshing and delicious whetting our appetites. Rating: 5* Appetisers: Beef & Pork Balls, Cheese Aracini and Ranchovy Salad. The excessive herbs in the Balls overpower the flavour of the minced meats. Salad is freshly prepared with a tasty Mayo dressing. Cheese Aracini are crisp and flavourful and this dish is the table favourite. Rating 4-4.5* Pizzas: Meatlovers, Shrooms and Vege Watts are served piping hot from the Pizza oven. The thin base is scrumptious and the generous fresh ingredients make these Pizzas winners! Rating: 5The friendly service from Jonno is outstanding! Cocktails priced from $9-15 offer great value and the food is well presented and appetising. The casual ambience makes this a popular spot to catch up with friends. At 6pm it is almost packed to the rafters. We have a very enjoyable night out. Thank you Superfly Pizza!

  Always keen for a mid week dinner out, this week we were lucky enough to be invited to try out the Pizza at Superfly, along the secluded, lush green Eden Lane in Woolloongabba. . Arriving at 6pm, there already were a couple tables there, but the whole place was full by the time we left. Seating was available inside and outside, but that afternoon we decided to get a table outside amongst the leafy greenery.

  TL;DR: They keep the idea simple from beginning to end. You just want a fairly quiet night out, and the food be no hassle. That is exactly the case when it comes to Superfly, Hidden among the greenery, and away from the hustle and bustle of the main stretch, the relaxing atmosphere and colourful design are rewards for those persistent enough to take a detour to find Superfly. It has a friendly atmosphere, even with so many people knowing about it, the eatery still manages to be calm, plus the food is hot and made to order. You could not ask for a more earnest, down-to-earth, friendly locale that is just under some folks residencies. The Alleyways Project is finding its way out of the inner north and spreading its wings into other areas of town, with them jumping into the inner south. Among the busiest parts of town, with all the bustling roads that have a constant buzz of activity, what is often overlooked by locals and tourists alike is the many smaller roads and alleyways that go between some of the bigger roads. These in themselves usually hide all kinds of great finds, while simultaneously having that air of being a world away. Superfly Pizza in Wooloongabba provides such an example. It is up a pedestrian alleyway that is between two big apartment complexes. There is possibly some influences from how Italy does their pizza, and I am not talking (at the moment) about the actual recipe. Instead, it is how some of the nicest pizza in all the Italian cities seem to come by the slice from mere street vendors, in a semi-secret location. That is said on two fronts, with the first that if you were walking down here unbeknownst this would be an unexpected find. The second one is because of the size of the place, which is not very big. There is a small area inside that might have one or two tables if they squeeze them in, with most of the seating being on a patio. This gets very popular whenever it is open, yet the folks here will constantly be working it ensure anyone can get in. I was called on to do this one. From a review that was nearly a year go as of its response, management was thankful for the details and talked about opening a new restaurant. The reviewed eatery in question was a ramen joint, and I have made it all the more apparent just how much I am keen to seek out new ramen place when given the chance. Upon sending an email stating my keen interest, a reply came back saying it wasn’t a new ramen place but something else. From the same guys who have heralded Hai Hai Ramen in Paddington came a pizza place in Wooloongabba – Superly. What it was all a case of now was finding the right opportunity. It was coming up to the monthly meeting I had with my friend, and I was penciling this in as the location – timing was tantamount to everything. That was essentially that. I was meeting here at the direct location, this time and it was soon for a hot meal, being in the form of plenty of pizza. Like it was said with the location, this one is really characteristic. It has that downtown sort of arrangement, yet the setting gives it more an air of the friendly neighbourhood hangout. Within the pedestrian walkway, Superfly is a little nook off to the side. Most of the seating takes place on an elevated courtyard, that uses some stone walls as seating, which is nowhere near as bad as it may sound. Especially with a combination of shade from the trees around the place, and warmth wafting from the kitchen. Inside, most of it is akin to a bar where they showcase plenty of drink options and there is one single table at the end which is cosy. Anyone who sits there hits the jackpot, and I am proud to say this little black duck struck it rich that night. The customer service is friendly, and takes it at a decidedly relaxed pace. I had already said that they manage to shift tables and such around when the place is getting full, and that is the truth. At any one time, they have quite a few chairs in reserve and utilise what they got for tables. This has that exclusive sort of atmosphere, yet they are probably among the most casual dining in the entire area. Come to think of it, the combination of the warm environment and the secluded nature create a unique setting where it is an open-aired version of a club in downtown where you enter walking below the street. Ordering is done at the counter, yet they seat you first and beckon you to take your time. Upon the ordering being done, everything arrives pretty quickly and pipping hot. They also knew how to space out the different courses, from the starter going into the main event. In recent years, there must have been a trend going on where they decide to keep things both simple and specialised. Not many places can be summed up so quickly in the length of a tweet; I reckon there is a contender right here. They have several varieties of pizza, which are separated by the sauce base – both white and red sauce. On top of those pizzas, there will often be a special variety from the creative minds in the kitchen. They also acknowledge how when going out to anywhere, especially with the environment they have set out, a little bit of something to start the night always goes well. In other words, some finger foods to begin the night. Add onto that some salad to go on the side. Drinks are all from the fridge. They have several types of beer, some wines, and maybe even Italian style sodas. Much to my chagrin, this is one more Italian place which inexplicably does not sell any coffee. It wouldn’t be the first time they were asked that I asked them. Never the less, the meal started off with some nibbles. These were in the form of aranchini balls, which need no introduction. The three cheeses they put in here were parmesan for a sharp flavour, mozzarella to get that desired texture from cooked cheese, and bocconcini to give it some substance. These three choices meld together well, and mixed into hot rice, once the oil in the fryer is hot enough you have yourself something that is akin to magic. A nice tomato-infused sauce was poured over them, with the serving being three big babies – you might need to cut them before eating them. As a bridge between the starers and the actual pizzas, it was the garlic pizza bread. This took me by surprise with it being the same size as the other pizzas on the menu. Getting straight into the point, the pizzas are done in the classic Italian style. That is with a thin crust, and the ingredient choices are few in numbers yet dynamic when combined. The bases are fine, though the crust were a bit big, and thus dried out a little. That is about the only gripe I got there. With the garlic pizza bread, it was essentially margherita with a slight difference. They decided to forgo the basil leaves, and instead crush a whole heap of garlic on top instead. The combination of hot garlic and melted cheese – do I need to go on? Two main pizzas were gotten, with the first one needing no introduction – the childhood favourite of pepperoni. I’ve probably tried all kinds of pizzas, many of the authentic Italian recipes. Yet if it hasn’t been done yet, the confession comes out right now. When it comes to the bitter end, the desired pizza I will always lean into is the good old pepperoni with a whole lot of anchovies. Fortunately for me, this friend here is in (to my perspective) the sane category where anchovies rule, (especially on a pizza). These weren’t just ordinary anchovies, but white ones. You know it is a little more special when that is the case. It was practically covered up with the pepperoni, which was ready present in its salty, sharp goodness. The white anchovies were fairly mild in comparison to the ones I am more used to; the way it was presented was very good, one anchovy per slice smack bang center. Props for presentation. When it came to the special pizza at the time, it was based off the classic dish beef stroganoff. From what I recall, this had tender strips of beef, along with plenty of mushrooms, some onion, and a cream-based sauce as the base. This was also pretty tasty. The beef was tender, and it managed to be marinated in the cream sauce. As for the mushrooms, these were cooked just perfectly. It wasn’t too long in the brick oven, allowing the mushrooms to keep form and release their flavours – that sweet spot everybody likes. A bold recipe, yet it is one that worked out in the end. Overall, I am fairly impressed. The idea is simple, though it does work well from what they have got. From the general perspective, what has happened is some brainchildren took a great faction with simple, wholesome food, some great drinks to pair that said food with, and an agreeable environment; from there, they merely took that combination was were able to run with it. I’m taking a liking more to this hidden sort of idea with the best places, as it comes across like an Easter egg to the keen gourmands. A few improvements here and there might be in order, mostly from preferences. My first one would certainly be coffee, and whether or not that is feasible putting in some sweet options to finish the night off as well. These sort of social places can do well with that. Think of it this way, where the engine and the structural design are all in order and don’t need any attention. What needs focus now is the cosmetic aspects, ways to make the model sexy and attractive. So far, the model is looking pretty good but a couple of touch-ups will make it stand out. Ultimately, they simply should keep up the good work and keep being friendly.

  If you’d told me I would prefer vegetarian pizzas to meat ones, I’d say pigs might fly. But at Superfly Pizza, that’s exactly what happened! I mean the meat ones were good too, but the vegetarian ones were better than good.I visited this little hidden gem of a food joint in Eden Lane twice in one week, firstly as an #invited guest and secondly as a regular paying customer with my family.From these 2 visits, I’ve tried:* pumpkin pizza, $22 – with pumpkin, honey, rocket, thyme, blue cheese & mozzarella* shrooms pizza, $22 – with mushrooms, truffle, mozzarella & parmesan* meatlovers pizza, $22 – with smoked ham, pork sausage, sopressa, mortadella, pepperoni & provolone* buffalo soldier pizza (specials board), $22 – blue cheese cream, buffalo chicken, mozzarella, celery, parsley, blue cheese crumble* beef & pork balls, $9 – with tomato sauce, parmesan, fresh herbs* 3 cheese arancini, $9 – with mozzarella, bocconcini, parmesanThe pumpkin and the mushroom pizzas were truly the standouts for me. If I had to choose one I’d favour the pumpkin. Do yourself a favour and try it – it’s a party in your mouth that incorporates a bit of sweet against savoury, and works really well to create something different enough from other run of the mill options to leave a wonderful impression.I’d also recommend the ranch sauce ($1) for dipping your pizza crust into – a great way to finish off your pizza.Their menu is small but what they do they do well. The arancini balls are also worth trying, though we found the beef & pork balls a bit too savoury on their own. Paired with some carbs from the pizzas or crusts alone though and it’s about just right.Love the laneway location and the outdoor seating area – perfect for enjoying some of that cross breeze and feeling like you’re dining in nature.Pro tips:* They do $15 pizzas on Mondays and Tuesdays* Join their VIP club for a BOGOF voucher and other offers
