Pizza Rev is probably the smallest store in Adelaide. The actual standing area for customers is about two square metres. The pizza comes in slices, big, thick, chunky pizza slices. Buying a whole pizza can be quite expensive, but one or two slices could easily fill a person. It is usually only open at night on weekends to serve the stumbling zombie masses that fill Hindley street. I can suggest, however, if you’re out on a Saturday night, and you’re full of mind altering goodness and you need a feed, you might as well go to Australia’s Pizza House if you’re looking for value for money. $ 4 for a whole pizza is much more economical than $ 4 for a slice at Pizza Rev, but the Rev’s pizza is definitely better. It should open more often.

Pros: –Open late –Sold by the slice –Ready to be served –Cheap, quick option Cons: –Takeaway only –No room to swing a cat inside –Expensive if you want an entire pizza The market is clear and simple. If you are passing through, and want a quick snack, here is a great stop off. The shop has been set up in this location for a reason, and receives plenty of drunk foot traffic every night. When I’m on the move in Hindley, and feel like a quick pepperoni, and cheese fix, this is where I come. Nothing glamourous to see here.

Pizza Revs is so conveniently located to catch the pizza-craving late night slightly or very drunken crowd. I only discovered it a few months ago and was surprised that this little gem of a store was such a secret. And when I say little store I mean little. There is barely room to move in there and no seating inside, but it is the cabinets of steaming pies at the window of the shop that keep people lingering around the front, not bothered by the lack of inside places to park your butt. Depending on what night you go there is usually a range of yummy slices to choose from. They are reasonably steep at $ 4, but it would be hypocritical of me to say that I wouldn’t pay that because when you have consumed a certain amount of alcohol, anything is affordable no matter its actually monetary value. There is tables available on the pavement which is kind of feral but an excellent place to rest tired feet that have been squashed into heels all night. I would recommend the plain tomato with melty cheese and herbs but as always the meat ones are highly popular and will be scoffed up by the boys before you know it.

I have a friend who is obsessed with Pizza Rev. I can only assume this obsession goes beyond normal logic. I know for a fact it has something to do with alcohol consumption. A few summers ago, we spent a lot of late nights, very intoxicated on Hindley St. We had a particular route carved out — starting at the Exeter, trampling through Rundle Mall, stopping a dive bar, stopping at Pizza Rev, then continuing on to Supermild. And while I still think a whole pizza at Australian Pizza House for $ 10 makes more sense, my friend became obsessed with the $ 4 slices Pizza Rev peddle at 3am in the morning. I can’t say that I really *get it*, but I acknowledge there is something hilarious and fun about lining up for a single slice of pizza at a tiny bright red takeaway joint blaring Katy Perry at top volume. And then there is something equally exciting(perhaps because of the life-endangering drunk, sweaty crowds that pass by and try to ‘interact’ with you) about sitting outside and eating your slice of triple meat and cheese. One very special night, my friend was honoured enough to be invited into the ‘Rev Room’, a private function room below Pizza Rev, entry through a ‘secret door’. Or at least that is how he describes it. Something tells me it was slightly less exclusive and magical than that. In any case, if you’re drunk and it’s late enough, you can grab some pizza here.
