Google pinsa pizza in Sydney and only a handful of venues appear in the search results, including one locale of note with glowing reviews: Ta Ta Ta Pizza, which can be found on the back streets of Bondi Junction. 

Often referred to as ‘Roman-style’ pizza, pinsa offers a healthier twist on traditional pizza bases, thanks to its extended fermentation process and use of spelt, rice, and soy flour. This combination produces a light, airy texture with a satisfying, crunchy crust. Pinsa originates from the Latin word pinsere, a nod to the age-old technique of hand-pressing and shaping dough.
