The group behind My Mother’s Cousin and Self Raised Bread Shoppe are readied to open up a family-friendly restaurant in the previous Barzaari area.
True New York- design, 18-inch pizzas are pertaining to Marrickville on November 3, when the group behind Bexley North restaurant My Mother’s Cousin open MMC Slice Shoppe.
The family-friendly pizza parlour, readied to seat around 70 individuals, will certainly integrate the fond memories of a dine-in Pizza Hut with the beauty of a traditional New York pizza store like Lombardi’s, with upholstered cubicles and glass divider panels, pizza by-the-slice and house-made lemonade.
MMC Slice Shoppe will certainly replace Barzaari on Addison Road, the Middle Eastern dining establishment which was marketed to the MMC group and shut after virtually one decade of procedure on September 6.
In a declaration to social networks on August 23, Barzaari chef-owner Darryl Martin stated the sale noted the verdict of “a lifelong dream … realised and achieved”.

MMC founders Sal Senan, Huss Rachid and Amani Rachid have actually been intending Slice Shoppe considering that 2021: taking a trip to New York to take ideas from several of the market’s finest, like L’Industrie Pizzeria in Brooklyn and Mama’s Too on the Upper West Side, and taking greater than 2 years to establish a light, crunchy, flavoursome base utilizing long-ferment dough and high-grade Australian wheat.
“We really geeked out hard on this one,” Senan claims.
Senan claims Slice Shoppe will certainly provide something totally various from its preferred Bexley North precursor.
“I like to call My Mother’s Cousin a hybrid pizzeria. I feel like it’s not full New York, but it’s not full Neapolitan. It’s kind of our own style and our own interpretation of pizza,” he claims.
“And this one, we’re going full New York style. We’re going to use electric ovens like they do over there. We’re doing 18-inch pizzas only, so one size. And we’ll have slices available, which I think is cool right now.”
Pizza by-the-slice has actually been gradually acquiring appeal in Sydney, where it’s supplied at locations such as City Oltra (Haymarket) and Ta Ta Ta’s (Bondi).
Senan claims pizza by-the-slice includes a vital aspect of cost to the food selection throughout the cost-of-living situation, and might transform the method individuals consume pizza in Sydney.
“In New York, pizza is a big part of the lunch culture. When you’re walking down the street you see people in suits, or school kids, uni students, grabbing a slice of pizza for lunch,” he claims.
“But in Sydney, we either have full Neapolitan style or fast-food chains like Domino’s. There’s [not much] in the middle.”
The food selection will certainly be straightforward: concerning 6 or 7 pizzas improved a structure of high quality fruit and vegetables (San Marzano tomatoes, or else primarily Australian generate) and timeless flavours (like Italian sausage, mushroom, and white cheese pizza). There’ll likewise be a Sicilian- design pizza included, with a thicker, spongier base, and there’s broach ice-cream sandwiches for treat.
But, just like the dine-in pizza stores of our childhood years, MMC Slice Shoppe will certainly be alcohol-free.
From the initial MMC to their Self Raised bakeshops in Carlton and Bexley North, the friendliness group have actually long promoted structure “city-style” locations in the suburban areas. Slice Shoppe will certainly be their initial venture right into Sydney’s internal west.
“We’re very proud of it, and we do think it’s going to be some of the best pizza in Sydney,” Senan claims.
