One of our latest projects is located in Caringbah and has recently opened!
Ugly Pizza and Huxley’s Sports Bar have taken over the former Bizzo’s location. Our brief was simple; create a comfortable venue where families can relax and enjoy good food. We were inspired by our recent trips to America with our clients, and we wanted to bring what we saw and tasted abroad back to the Shire.
Ugly Pizza’s design is a twist on the classic American diner. Zinc top bars, black and white tiles and generous areas of warm timber floor and wall panelling soften the exposed services above. We punched a big hole to the north so it’s light and bright.
You can choose to take-away, or sit in front of the hand tossed doughs, salivating at the sight of pizzas being paddled out of the large metal oven. Timber windows look out onto the street and additional tables and seats under the new red and white awnings are coming soon.
Once you’ve had your fill of pizza, walk through the secret fridge door into the speak-easy sports bar – Huxley’s. There’s more room to lounge around in here. To the left there are big plush round booths with green chesterfield studded-leather detailing and to the right we have the black timber bar. A series of red top timber tables that look like classic pool tables are scattered through the spine of the venue. Everything is dark and cosily lit, so you can sit, relax and watch the games. If you are still hungry, you can order from the American diner inspired menu - crinkle-cut fries, hot wings and mac n’ cheese, and they even bring it out in those little red baskets.
Ugly Pizza and Huxley’s is just a small part of our client’s vision to turn the whole building into a buzzing entertainment hub. Currently, we are working with them to revitalise the vacant upstairs venues.
We are really happy to contribute to the trending foodie scene in the Shire, and excited about the next stage of the development! Stay tuned!
