Fred's Pizzeria & Brewbar

You'll find yourself in the Wharfside Shopping Centre near the harbour, but don't let that put you off—Fred's has carved out a genuinely welcoming space that feels more neighbourhood hangout than retail unit. The wood-fired pizzas arrive blistered and charred exactly how they should be, with the kind of crust that makes you forget every mediocre chain pizza you've ever eaten. Pair your order with whatever's on the brewbar—they rotate their selection regularly, so there's always something new to try. It's the sort of place where you bump into people you know, where staff actually seem glad you're there, and where a Friday night doesn't feel forced or showboating.
