I grew up in Pennant Hills in the 70s and 80s.Some of my happiest dining in and takeaway memories were of Belmontes. So, I finally decided to give it a try once more, once we moved back into the area.I should have been alerted by how quiet it was, given that all my childhood memories were of this place being busy, bustling and buzzing.The first thing I was eager to try was the cheese garlic bread pull apart - hand-made from pizza dough, stuffed with garlic butter and cheese before going into the oven. It was tasty - just as delicious as I remembered it!But that's where the nostalgia ended.The pizza was very ordinary, and took quite a while to arrive, despite us being the only seated customer...
I have lived in the area since 1970 and have patronised B's with different proprietors. Pizza in the early days was fantastic and pretty good generally over the years. Tonight the boss put a sprinkle of olive oil on the freshly baked pizza straight out of the oven. Ok I thought...then the young female offsider was obviously unimpressed, so then drowned it with more. It didn't happen last time, so what's going on there? Place was suspiciously vacant - not like the old days.....will now need a few suggestions for good pizza at Penno. What a pity....soggy pizza is not my thing. Have had good pizza in Italy and throughout Europe and even in Shanghai - B's was as good as any of them until tonight...
Each time we go, we come back full and satisfied saying we should really make better use of this being on our doorstep.Although it's just a little more expensive than the fast food franchise options these are good sized pizzas with fresh toppings that don't leave you (and your teenagers) hungry.
I recently tried Morris ' meat pizza and was impressed by how juicy it was. The perfect amount of toppings were added, making sure it wasn't too overwhelming or too sparse. If I lived closer, I would definitely consider Belmonte's Pizzeria as a go-to spot for delicious pizza.

A fantastic place for pizza and pasta. Hit up half price Tuesdays and make sure to get a garlic pizza it's drool enticing). There is alot of variety on the menu and they make everything really well. The smell in the shop should be bottled and sold as a cologne.
The pizza was great and the service was awesome, there was a mix up in the order but staff quickly gave another pizza to make up for it with a smile on their faces. We had a great experience.
Not a bad pizza though the $25 minimum credit card charge wont see me hurrying back there. Extra excercise to go to the ATM helps i guess but you could have told me on the phone.
I ordered a vegetarian pizza which was delicious. The garlic bread was also very tasty. I had a pleasant conversation with the owner. Overall, it was a great experience.

Stopped here on the way back from the snow and so glad we did. Beautiful people, food and restaurant. A little guided tour of the old shop added a personal touch.
The garlic pizza was fantastic and the service was super fast and friendly.
