I have lived in Leichhardt all my life and eaten at almost every restaurant and cafe. Until recently, however, Castel Mola had remained a mystery to me. Aside from its somewhat inconvenient location from a walking perspective, it just looked tacky and "wannabe".
When I tried it for the first time however, I was pleased to realize that I had grossly misread the unassuming pizzeria.
First things first: Pizza. Simply put, Castel Mola's pizza is the best I have eaten--by far. The dough is scrumptious, the toppings are mouth watering and best of all, it all reeks with authenticity. The pizza chef is on display, just as proof. It is truly Leichhardt's--if not the entire Inner West's--best pizzeria.
Now to the pasta. Castel Mola's pasta is of the same caliber as its pizza. Whenever I go now, I always struggle to choose weather to have the pizza or pasta--they're that good.
My favourite thing about Castel Mola, however, is the fact that they do home delivery. Living in Leichhardt, there is no shortage of pizzerias to order home delivery from but this trumps them all.
All in all, Castel Mola is the best pizzeria, to my knowledge, in Sydney. read more
