Want to know where to go for good cheap pizza???
In my hungry opinion, the best Lebanese pizza I’ve tasted so far this year is Suhhtan Pizza in Regents Park. Its popular with the locals and you will see groups going in and rattling away their memorised orders like seasoned diners.
So that’s where I went last Saturday when I got the hungries.
I ordered the garlic chicken pizza, which was essentially creamy garlic sauce, pieces of chicken breast and cheese on a thin crust.
They’re the essential components; now let me rave.
The crust! Oh the crust. It was so crispy, with a little bit of stretch in the middle. I ate it at home without any sign of sogginess. It’s basically the size of a Lebanese bread so its suitable for one person. Two people if they’re small eaters.

The garlic sauce was amazing. Smooth, white, creamy and pungent. To all those foodies out there: Have you tried the garlic sauce at Habibs in Bankstown? Amazing right? This is just as good. Even better because it’s on pizza.
The chicken was chicken. No complaints. It was normal chicken, but generously sliced and placed. It really balanced with the garlic sauce.

The cheese was definitely a girls dream. The cheese was good abundant and it’s usually stringy but because I brought it home in the car it had lost its elasticity.
Did I mention the price? $6!!!

| Za'atar $1.50 |
I also bought Za’atar (pronounced sar-tar) pizza for $1.50. Za’atar is a mix of herbs and spices (oregano, thyme, sesame seeds and something else I cant quite pick up).
Its mixed with olive oil, generously brushed onto the bread and baked. Instead of presenting it in a pizza box, it comes rolled and wrapped in paper. This stops all the za’atar falling out.
The Za’atar itself was good but not the best I’ve had.
Why was it good? The herb mix was generous and the sesame seeds stood out and balanced with the oregano.

Why was I unimpressed with it? The dough (unlike the pizza base) had a tendency to harden once it cooled down which made it hard to chew through and got messy on the fingers.
It looks dodgy from the outside and the grey tiles and blue walls makes it look old and distasteful but don’t let that turn you off the food. It must be a good place if people are lining up to buy pizza from 8am on Sunday mornings right??
