This review is for Pronto Pizza, Wallsend NSW

After hearing some glowing reviews of this place, we decided to give it a try as we love pizza, especially real pizza, not the plastic chain store stuff. It has all the usual pizzas - meatlovers, Hawaiian, chicken etc. Prices are great and you couldn't possibly fit anymore topping on the pizza. However, my meatlovers was too over run by ham so I couldn't taste much else. Hubby said his chicken was yummy though.
Service was friendly but a little slow. We were there before 6 on a Tuesday but still took close to 30 minutes for us to get our order and there wasn't anyone else there. But it does take time to make a proper pizza.
Overall, not bad and worth a try, but there are better pizza places around in my opinion.

Approximate cost: $12 for a large pizza

We were going for a drive and ended up in Paterson. We stopped here to get some takeaway for lunch. They do eat in and have café style meals as well as takeaway. They also have some crafts and knick knacks for sale, we got a cute hand made t-shirt for our daughter.
The food was good and priced well. Nice variety of burger and wraps and typical takeaway food. The hot chips were really yummy. Forgot my tomato sauce on my pluto pup though :(

Had lunch here after wandering around The Rocks for a while. We both had burgers (As its famous for its burgers) and they were delicious! Fresh and lots of toppings and lots of different choices. Even get a choice of three salads for your side salad. No problems adding or removing an ingredient either.
Service was fast and friendly and there are plenty of seats without feeling cramped. Well worth a visit!

Yummy food, great prices, great variety. Have eaten here a few times and had a few different meals and all have been great. Good portion size also.
It gets pretty busy as it is one of the only cafes like it at Jesmond, but they have a decent amount of seats and outside seating and they are pretty quick so tables become available quickish.

Went here today for lunch and we really enjoyed it! Was such a nice spot sitting under the macadamia trees, nice and quiet country like setting. Great range of food and drinks and sweets, oh my the cakes! Great kids menu too. All very well priced which we were surprised about as we were expecting it to be a bit dearer. The macadamia flavoured milkshake is a must!
There are two friendly resident dogs that wander around and love a pat, a small play area for the kids and lots of macadamia products to take home!

This review is for Thomas Street Quality Meats, Wallsend NSW

The staff were really friendly and helpful as we were not totally sure what we needed, we just wanted a nice roast for the slow cooker for 3 people and 2 1 year olds. He suggested a 1kg beef roast (can't remember the exact cut, may have been blade?) and it was perfect! Perfect size for the 5 of us, perfect with the sauce/gravy we had and deliciously fall apart on our plates! Was a great price too for the size and quality - much better than the supermarket!
Will definitely be back to try some of their other meats.

Approximate cost: $15

This review is for Divine Beauty Sensations, Cardiff South NSW

I needed a new waxer as the old place I went to got very expensive. I was recommended here by a friend and her prices were great! I just got an eyebrow wax today but she was great - not painful, great shape and tidy and very efficient. I'm very happy with the results!
She also does manis and pedis, a range of waxing, spray tans and more! I will definitely be back for more waxing and maybe even a manicure!

Approximate cost: $12

This review is for Cupcake Espresso, Adamstown NSW

OMG I love Cupcake Espresso! Their cupcakes are divine! So fresh, soft, lots of icing and flavour and most have a gooey centre as well! They have the more basic flavours like red velvet, vanilla and triple chocolate but also some indulgent ones like caramel marshmallow, apple pie and banana blueberry white chocolate.
Also, if you like them on Facebook, they announce one or two surprise flavours a day like Ice Vovo, Cornetto and ginger beer. It can make my day very dangerous as they are so tempting!
Price wise, they are very reasonable for the size of the cupcake. I generally only eat half in one sitting, unless I am feeling adventurous!

Approximate cost: $4 per cupcake

This review is for Snow's Patisserie, Kotara NSW

Love love love their macarons! Love the fact that have different flavours a lot of the time too. My favourite is the musk flavour! My husband loves the salted caramel. Also love their coconut and caramel slice, haven't seen anything similar anywhere else.

Not the cheapest of places around, but the taste is worth it!

This review is for Caves Beach Takeaway, Caves Beach NSW

We go here occasionally to get some lunch to eat at the beach or park. It gets busy on weekends and holidays but there is a good reason. Their chips are so yummy! Not soggy, always crispy. Great range of all the usual foods like burgers, pluto pups, scallops etc but they do great fresh sandwiches too.
Great value for money and portion sizes too.
