HOW IT WORKS
Turn on the light at your table, and one of our team of pizza enthusiasts will promptly bring over a slice...don't ask us what it will be, this is pizza roulette!
You keep that light on, the pizza keeps coming! When you're feeling full, switch off the light to take a break or to signal that you're done.
Our pizzaiolos will be hand-crafting some well-known favourites alongside some wildcards during your visit - rumour has it that one of them puts pineapple on their pizzas...

AUTHENTIC NEAPOLITAN PIZZA
FROM NAPLES TO NEWCASTLE
PIZZA IS AT
THE HEART OF EVERYTHING WE DO
AND AUTHENTICITY IS OUR TOP PRIORITY.
That’s why our pizzaioli train with the masters at AVPN Napoli - experts in true Neapolitan pizza - ensuring every slice is crafted with genuine tradition and passion. Recognised under UNESCO World Heritage, Neapolitan pizza follows four essential steps, from dough preparation to wood-fired baking with a signature rotatory technique. This unmatched authenticity is what Sanco proudly brings to your plate, honouring the tradition AVPN has protected since 1984.
At the centre of it all is our impressive Gozney® Napoli Elite wood-fired oven, where the magic truly happens. During your visit, don’t hesitate to chat with our pizzaioli - they might even invite you to try your hand at the peel and experience the craft first-hand!
AUTHENTIC NEAPOLITAN
PIZZA
Sanco brings a unique Neapolitan pizza experience to Newcastle, focusing on quality ingredients, sustainability, and reducing waste. We’ve done away with traditional menus to break dining habits and minimise food waste - just keep the light on, and we’ll keep the fresh, hand-crafted pizza coming. Rooted in the Italian tradition of sharing, our concept encourages you to explore unexpected flavours and enjoy a truly communal, one-of-a-kind dining experience
We’re committed to delivering a unique, authentic experience every time. We use fresh dough made daily on-site with the finest Italian ingredients, including Caputo® flour and San Marzano DOP tomatoes from Naples. Our skilled pizzaiolos craft each Neapolitan pizza in our Gozney® wood-fired oven right before your eyes. Whether you're trying something new or sticking to a favourite, just keep the light on and we’ll keep the pizza coming - no gamble, just great pizza.
