Elvis Pizza

I feel like I should give this place two reviews– one for the pizza and one for the show!
The concept here is that it’s «dinner and a show.» The show starts around 9:30 and we got to the restaurant around 8, which was plenty of time (plennnnnty) to eat and hang out.
The restaurant is tiny so expect to get to know your neighbours well during the evening. There’s a package deal that’s all-​you-​can-​eat pizza/​pasta/​bread for $ 49 a person, which is what we elected to do.
The food is straight up terrible– bland and greasy. Thankfully it’s BYO and there is a liquor store next door so you can have a liquid dinner if you want.
The show, however, is an absolute blast. The owner is a hardcore Elvis fan and had designed a little over an hour of singing that’s filled with his top hits.
The entire restaurant was singing and dancing along and at one point there was dancing on top of the chairs (oops, may have been the liquid dinner).
Expect to leave with a smile on your face, but elect to eat elsewhere if you can. Shame that I couldn’t rate it higher due to the food!

Think it’s just a name? Nup! For the last 30 years Bayswater Road has been home to this pizza-​based shrine to the King of Rock n’ Roll. The original Elvis (Pizza) moved away to the Brighton-​le-​Sands area back in the 90s, but when the name became available again, Paul Fenech decided it was time to bring it back to Rushcutters Bay. Now, this is no normal Elvis fan with an unhealthy pizza addiction, Paul is an Australian-​champion Elvis impersonator and has a recent trip to Memphis to compete in the World Championship to prove it!
On top of the regular Elvis shows — and people come from far and wide to attend them! — the restaurant also offers some pretty decent pizza! And yes, they all have Elvis song-​names instead of the boring, run-​of-​the-​mill names (although there’s no Hound dog, which in hindsight is probably a good thing). My personal favourite is the Viva Las Vegas (Chicken Breast, Mushroom, Capsicum, Onion, BBQ sauce & Cheese — M: $ 15, L:$ 20, F:$ 24), with the Big Bossman (Tomato, Bocconcini, Chicken, Avocado, Sun Dried Tomatoes & Shaved Parmesan) a close second! It’s BYO ($ 2 corkage per person) and is conveniently located next to a bottle shop.
So if you’re in a pizza mood, and you fancy a slightly different pizza experience, head to Elvis!
N.B. If you really want to see an Elvis show, you can book the dinner and show package, otherwise you can ring ahead and see if the King is in the building.
