Addresses in Coober Pedy don't need numbers - there is only one main street and I assume everyone knows everyone else and where they are.
I can't decide whether John's Pizza Bar is actually better than everything else in Coober Pedy, or they have bribed all the other vendors of accomodation, petrol stations in the town to advertise for them, but they seem to be the busiest place in Coober Pedy around the clock.
They won best pizza in South Australia one year - either the bigger towns have no clue on how to knead a proper dough and throw some ingredients together or they won points for best innovation.
I was forewarned that the large pizzas are in fact, very large - you can get an 18" pizza!
Below: One of the wrongest things I have ever eaten - Coat of Arms 9" Pizza with sweet cranberry, cheese, emu metwurst, smoked kangaroo, camembert cheese, spinach.
I probably wouldn't eat this again - but I was in the middle of nowhere so was not going to pass up this opportunity to eat one (or two) of Australia's icon. I'd say that they haven't done too badly with these pizza - the kangaroo was tolerable and the emu was much subtler than expected. Still very gamey meat, but this was offset by the cranberry & camembert.
