Looking for somewhere to have lunch in Newtown? We have a plethora of tasty options to satisfy even the most ravenous bellies, health aware or cost-conscious.

Za’atar Bread

Za’atar is at the very crux of Lebanese food culture. It is made from a blend of herbs and spices, usually thyme, oregano, marjoram, sumac, toasted sesame seeds and salt, which is then mixed with olive oil and spread on flatbread and baked in the oven. At OOSHMAN we offer a rage of toppings to go with our delicious za’atar bread, from haloumi to labhne, olives, capsicum, ricotta or falafel. Try our Beirut-style za’atar with haloumi, tomato, onion & chilli flakes. Many of these are vegetarian or vegan options and range from $3 for plain bread, to $8 for the deluxe falafel option.

Folded Sujuk Pizza

Looking for a thick, meaty, delicious meal but don’t think you can take on whole pizza by yourself? Our folded sujuk pizza is just for you. Featuring fluffy folded crust filled with cheese, sujuk, olives, capsicum and tomato, it’s a delicious alternative to a traditional pizza. Sujuk is Lebanese sausage, somewhat similar to pepperoni, made from ground beef, combined with a selection of exotic, spices like garlic, cumin, sumac and red pepper.

Haloumi or Spinach Pie

You’ve never had a haloumi pie like this. Featuring heaps of melted haloumi stuffed into in a semi circle pie coated with sesame seeds, its warm, gooey and filling. It’s also a great vegetarian option for those looking for something a little more delectable. But hold on, melted haloumi you say? At OOSHMAN we use Lebanese haloumi, which is different from traditional Cyprus-style haloumi that is crusty and squeaky. Lebanese haloumi is woven and stretched into bundles and stored in olive oil, giving it a stringy texture more akin to mozzarella. We also have a tasty vegan spinach option.

Lahembajin

Lahembajin is a folded meat pizza, but with no cheese. Instead we top a crispy base with tasty minced lamb, finely chopped tomatoes and onions which are then combined with a selection of 7 herbs and spices including paprika, peppers, cumin, cinnamon, parsley coriander and mint. Served with a thick slice of lemon as a garnish.

Kebbeh

An excellent side or snack, Kebbeh is a delicious Lebanese street food classic made from a minced lamb, pine nut and onion filling, encased in a burghul (cracked wheat) & lamb ‘football’. We also a super vegan option made from a chickpea, spinach and onion filling, encased in a burghul and pumpkin football. These are huge and at $9 for 6, or $17 for a dozen, great value (vegan options are even cheaper!).

Wraps

We also offer a selection of delicious Lebanese wraps to suit the tastes of any hungry customer, none more than $8! Some of these include our famous falafel, healthy vegan options, vegetarian toppings, beef and chicken wraps and our Shawarma wrap, each with a selection of Lebanese condiments and salads like Labhne, hummus, pickles and tahini.

Salads

We also offer an array of salad options including classic tabouleh, Mediterranean style and a garden salad.

Sides and Dips

If you’re a fan of mixing and matching, our sides and dips are for you. Sides range from falafel to chicken wings to Sambousik (puff pastry and minced meat). These can be paired with a plethora of tasty sides like hummus, tzatsiki, babaganouj, and garlic and lemon.

The Most Insane Pizza World Records Ever Set

There have been some absolutely incredible world records set when it comes to pizza. Something about the universal adoration of pizza means it makes it into The Guinness Book of Records ever other year, and each time is more astonishing than the last. Let’s take a look at some of the most insane pizza world records ever set.

pizza world records

Some people are crazy when it comes to pizza! Let’s take a look at some of the most insane pizza world records ever set and try not to drool too much.

Most Pizzas Made In One Hour

This one is close to home! The staff at Bundaberg Dominos currently hold the world record for the most pizzas made in one hour. In a fine display of speedy pizza skills, the relatively small team at the Bundaberg Dominos set out to make 500 pizzas in an hour. This goal was smashed in just 2 minutes, with the team persevering over the remaining 28 minutes to total 837 pizzas in one hour.

The participating team had flown from all over Australia and even from New Zealand and comprised of eight members working on the dough, six topping the pizzas, two transferring then to the oven and two more cutting and boxing. So impressive!

Largest Pizza Base Spun in Two Minutes

Spinning pizza dough is a trademark of the pizza-making tradition, and when you watch a master do it it is pretty amazing to behold. Tony Gemignani currently holds the world record for the largest world pizza base spin in two minutes after he spun 500g of dough into a base that was 84.33cm wide. That’s a big pizza!

pizza world records

Largets Pizza Base Spun in One Minute

In 2009 in Restorante Sant’Eustorgio, Milan, Italy, Geris Mohsen scored the world record for the biggest pizza spun in one minute with a dough base spanning 42cm!

pizza world records

Largest Pizza Commercially Available

If you’ve got a big family, this one is for you. The largest pizza commercially sold is made at Big Mama’s and Papa’s Pizzeria in LA and costs $200. Not your traditional pizza, this one is a 1.37m x 1.37m square and can feed anywhere between 50-100 people. Not a bad thing to bring to a dinner party.

pizza world records

Largest Collection of Pizza Memorabilia

Could also be called the record for the biggest pizza nut in the world. It’s held by Brian Dwyer from the USA who went on a one year binge collecting pizza memorabilia for his private collection. Between early 2010 to July 2011, Dwyer collected 561 items ranging from games, puzzles, matchboxes, stickers, comic books, household items, clothing and even a Ninja Turtles Plinko arcade game.

pizza world records

Largest Collection of Pizza Boxes

Scott Wiener runs a pizza tour company in New York City, he also hold the record for the largest collection of pizza boxes in the world with 595 different boxes.

“Growing up in suburban New Jersey, I assumed all pizzas were delivered in boring white boxes with dull red printing on top,” Wiener said. “But that’s clearly not the case according to the boxes I have amassed over the past few years.”

The collection lives in Wieners apartment. The boxes originate from 42 different countries and span four whole decades – Wiener even wrote a book about his obsession called ‘Viva La Pizza! The Art of the Pizza Box.’

pizza world records

Largest Pizza in the World

We saved the best until last!

The largest pizza in the world has a total surface area of 1,261.65 m² (13,580.28 ft²) and was made by Dovilio Nardi, Andrea Mannocchi, Marco Nardi, Matteo Nardi and Matteo Giannotte from NIP food at Fiera Roma, in Rome in 2012.

The pizza was christened ‘Ottavia’ – derived from the Roman word for ‘eighth son’ as a homage to the first Roman emperor Octavian Augustus. It was also gluten-free!

pizza world records

We have the world’s best pizza right here in Enmore. Maybe we’ll make it official next year! If all this pizza talk us making you hungry drop by OOSHMAN (formerly known as Manoosh) or order from us online. We guarantee you will love everything we have to offer from our delicious pizzas, to more traditional Lebanese street food and desserts.

Why We Love Delivering Pizza in Earlwood

We love delivering pizza in Earlwood. It is one of the newest areas we operate in since we opened our new location in Marrickville. The wide streets and lower traffic levels make it a breeze to work in compared to the density of Enmore and Newtown!

pizza in earlwood

We love delivering pizza in Earlwood; our Marrickville store just opened next door and that means more and more people are wanting OOSHMAN!

Earlwood’s neighbouring suburbs of Wolli Creek and Marrickville are constantly growing, and Earlwood feeds off the gentrification occurring in both suburbs.

Our extensive menu of delicious Lebanese food is well complemented in Earlwood by an array of Greek tavernas, both which contribute to the area’s reputation for authentic Middle Eastern and European cuisines. Changed OOSHMAN (formerly known as Manoosh) are proud to be a part of such a vibrant multicultural food tapestry.

Here’s a fun fact: the KFC in Earlwood was once home to former Prime Minister John Howard whose parents owed a service station in Dulwich Hill around the corner. One more reason why we love delivering pizza in Earlwood.

These days there is a huge selection of good food in Earlwood and we are proud to contribute to this hotpot of cultures, offering up a selection of Lebanese street food, traditional Lebanese classics, modern Australian pizzas, an array of vegetarian and vegan options and desserts you won’t be able to find anywhere else in the inner west.

Why We Love Delivering Pizza in Marrickville

We are extremely happy with our recent addition to the OOSHMAN (formerly known as Manoosh) family: our Marrickville restaurant. We love delivering pizza in Marrickville – one of Sydney’s most vibrant multicultural areas – and contributing to its diverse food culture.

pizza in marrickville

We love delivering pizza in Marrickville. It’s one of Sydney’s most vibrant up-and-coming suburbs for arts and culture and this is reflected in the awesome array of food there, including Manoosh!

In the Post-war period low rental prices and proximity to jobs in the area meant that tonnes of European migrants settled in Marrickville. Throughout the 70s the population continued to grow, home to a massive array of cultures, from Thai and Vietnamese to Greek and Italian.

Since the mid-2000s, gentrification has seen some massive changes in the cultural landscape of Marrickville. As massive influx of young professionals, students, artists and musicians has seen the cultivation of more a bohemian vibe across the area. Some people have even gone so far as to call it, the “new Newtown” (we love delivering pizza in Newtown too!).

This has spurred on an even bigger growth in the amount of cafes and restaurants in Marrickville looking to cater for this adventurous, culturally-diverse crowd that we love delivering to everyday.

These days there is a massive selection of cheap eats in Marrickville from any corner of the food world. At OOSHMAN we are proud to contribute to this hotpot of cultures, offering up a selection of Lebanese street food, traditional Lebanese classics, modern gourmet pizzas, an array of vegetarian and vegan options and desserts you won’t be able to find anywhere else.

Why We Love Delivering Pizza in Newtown

Newtown is a vibrant tapestry of different food cultures that you can trace down King Street and find off the beaten track down its graffiti-covered backstreets. We love delivering pizza in Newtown because we love being a part of such a lively cultural hub unlike any other in our amazing city.

pizza in newtown

We love delivering pizza in Newtown. To be a part of such a vibrant food culture is such an awesome thing!

Newtown has been a hub for food and entertainment since way back in the late 19th century. It was originally quite an affluent area in the early 20th century, which you can still see traces of in the huge Victorian mansions scattered around the narrow streets that our drivers navigate every night.

When wealthier residents began moving to more prosperous Sydney suburbs during The Depression, Newtown turned into more of a working-class enclave. This meant that when WWII ended, troves of European migrants chose to settle in Newtown and its surrounding suburbs due to its cheap rent, resulting in a burst of foreign food cultures in the area.

By the 1960s and 70s, the area had become a mecca for students from Sydney University and other young people who came to Newtown for its vibrant food culture, pubs and entertainment. Though Newtown changed a lot in the following 40-odd years, this cross section of multiculturalism and bohemia is still present everywhere you look.

These days there is a massive selection of cheap eats in Newtown from any corner of the food world. At OOSHMAN (formerly known as Manoosh) we are proud to contribute to this hotpot of cultures, offering up a selection of Lebanese street food, traditional Lebanese classics, modern Australian pizzas, an array of vegetarian and vegan options and desserts you won’t be able to find anywhere else.

Have You Ever Heard of the World Pizza Championship?

There’s the Olympics, there’s the Soccer World Cup, there’s the Bledisloe, then there’s the World Pizza Championship.

world pizza champion

Have you ever heard of the World Pizza Championship? It’s the ultimate tournament where pizza-obsessives battle it out for eternal glory.

The World Pizza Championship is a gruelling contest that takes place annually in different locations across Italy, including Parma and Naples. It’s the ultimate test for those looking to take out the glorious title of the world’s best pizza maker (or pizzaioli).

The 3-day event has been running since 1991 and has a long and colourful history as the world’s biggest celebration of all things pizza. It is organised and run by the world renowned magazine Pizza e Pasta Italiana (Pizza and Pasta Italy) who pick the judges and curate the events.

This is by no means a small, one-task event. The World Pizza Championship is an arduous competition spanning an entire weekend. 2016 saw a record edition of the tournament, with 40 different nations represented, totalling over 700 participants. Not to mention the deluge of judges, industry professionals, sponsors and pizza aficionados (some 500,000 in 2016) that flock to the event each year. It’s a thrilling, passion-filled pizza experience.

Over the three days, 13 different cooking and acrobatic ‘races’ take place including:

• Classic pizza

• Individual free-style

• Gluten-free pizza

• Pan pizza

• STG Neapolitan pizza

• Pizza on the peel

• Largest pizza

• Pizza for two

• The world pizza team

• The Heinz Beck trophy

• The pizza triathlon

• The highest score by country

• Special awards

This spread of tasks means you see everything at the World Pizza Champions, not just your classic ham and pineapple (although this has been known to happen). There are dough-spinning events and even pizza masterclasses where you learn how to make the perfect pizza base.

For the winners, the title of World Pizza Champion is glorious. Last year saw Tony Gemignani from Tony’s Pizza Napoletana become the first American to ever win the Pizza In Pala division, his twelfth world pizza championship. “It was such a surreal experience to hear my name announced and feel the crowd erupt,” he said. “It was one of the best moments of my life.”

We’re not surprised it was.

world pizza championship

His winning pizza was a delicate concoction: his base a personal creation that uses seven different grains in its dough and ingredients that Gemignani has collected from his travels across Italy: wild board prosciutto, Grande and Aiello Mozzarella, black volcano salt, Stanislaus tomato, Durati Menú Tomato, basil, goat cheese and 30 month old Parmigiano Reggiano.

Nothing on our Charlie’s Special though.

Not all you see at the World Pizza Championship is what you’d expect though. Not always is it about the classics.

Last year, French pizza maker Ludovic Bicchierai took out the ‘classic pizza’ category with his Franco-inspired bouillabaisse pizza, beating Italian pizza legends Alfio Russo and Niccolo Cusumano to take out the top prize.

His french soup pizza was topped with tomatoes, bream carpaccio, mozzarella, courgette flowers, prawns and Tabasco sauce. And it was this kind of obscurity that helped him take out the top prize.

world pizza championship

Quite a few Australian’s have won the competition in the past, including Johnny Di Francesco owner of 400 Gradi in Melbourne, who won the Neapolitan pizza category back in 2014.

In 2016, Silvio Serpa, who owns Pizzaly in Preston, Melbourne, took out the top prize for his classic margherita pizza – the same that he makes everyday in his restaurant.

Maybe next year we will make the trip and show them all how it’s done.

Do you absolutely love pizza like we do? Then maybe consider making a pilgrimage to the World Pizza Championship. If that sounds like a little too much effort, need not worry. We have the world’s best pizza in Sydney right here in Enmore.

If you would like to try it, drop by OOSHMAN (formerly known as Manoosh) or order from us online. We guarantee you will love everything.

Why We Love Delivering Pizza in Enmore

The inner west has been our home for years. We love delivering pizza in Enmore and being part of such a diverse and interesting food tapestry. Enmore Road is hotpot of culinary cultures and we are proud to sit on top of the hill serving up delicious pizza and Lebanese food that you won’t find anywhere else in the inner west.

pizza in enmore

Enmore Rd has such a rich history of food, culture and entertainment that we are thrilled to be a part of. We love delivering pizza in Enmore!

Enmore is much smaller than its bigger brother Newtown, but packs a massive punch when it comes to food choices. Newtown has been a hub for culture and entertainment for decades, and Enmore, being Newtown’s more residential neighbour, has seen a spillover of revellers looking for a bite to eat or a show.

The Enmore Theatre is a massive draw for the suburb when it comes to entertainment. Since opening in 1908, the theatre has drawn the commercial spread from the more well-known King St, with an array of shops and restaurants opening along the Enmore Rd strip to cater the crowds of show-goers.

By the 1960s and 70s, the Enmore had become a mecca for students from Sydney University and other young people who came to Newtown and its surrounds for its vibrant food culture, pubs and entertainment. Though Enmore changed a lot in the following 40-odd years, this cross section of multiculturalism and bohemia is still present everywhere you look.

Over the past few years, there has been an explosion of new and exciting restaurants in Enmore. At OOSHMAN (formerly known as Manoosh) we are proud to contribute to this hotpot of cultures, offering up a selection of Lebanese street food, traditional Lebanese classics, modern Australian pizzas, an array of vegetarian and vegan options and desserts you won’t be able to find anywhere else (our vegan baklava is the best).

If you live in Enmore or are simply dropping by the area to see a show, be sure to give us a try. Give OOSHMAN a call right now. Simply order from us online or drop by and see us in person – we guarantee you will not be disappointed.

OOSHMAN Are Plating Up Some of the Best Vegan Food Sydney Has To Offer

Traditional Lebanese food is versatile stuff, offering up an array of options for meat eaters, vegetarians and vegans alike. We are particularly proud of the wide array of delicious vegan options we offer across the menu – including our incredible Lebanese pizzas! We may be biased, but we believe we offer some of the best vegan food Newtown has to offer, and we are up against some stiff competition. Here are some of the best vegan food options on our extensive menu.

vegan pizza

Don’t eat anything that comes from an animal? Not to worry, Manoosh proudly serve up some of the best vegan food Sydney has to offer – from pizzas to desserts and traditional Lebanese classics.

Our Vegan Cheese

Let’s start off with our special vegan cheese. When we first put our delicious Daiya vegan cheese on our menu, it sold out within a month – thus starting the great vegan cheese drought of 2015. We didn’t take any chances the second time around, so we ordered half a tonne of the stuff. We won’t be running out anytime soon.

Daiya are a fantastic Canadian-based company offering up a selection of delicious non-dairy alternatives to cheese, yoghurts and dressings. The vegan cheese we use is soft, stringy, bubbly and delicious in every way. You’ll be hard-pressed to find any differences between it and dairy-based cheese – we’re not quite sure how Daiya do it. And to top it all off, our vegan cheese contains fewer calories, less fat and less cholesterol than ‘real’ cheese. Score.

Our vegan cheese can be put on any pizza, opening up a plethora of vegan options from our extensive menu!  Our favourite is the Vegan’s Paradise: Spinach, mushroom, capsicum, tomato, olives, onion, garlic & oregano drizzled with tahini sauce with your choice of a za’atar or tomato base.

vegetarian pizza options

Traditional Lebanese Za’tar

If you’re not after a pizza, but still feel like warm, crusty and wholesome vegan Lebanese food we offer an extensive range of traditional za’tar wraps with lots of different vegan options available.

For those who don’t know, za’tar is a blend of herbs and spices typically including dried thyme, oregano, marjoram, sumac, toasted sesame seeds and salt. This mixture is then combied with olive oil, spread generously onto flatbread and cooked in a woodfire oven. This delicious vegan meal can be eaten on its own (ours are just $3) or topped with fresh ingredients such as labne, vegetables or even falafel.

One of our favourites is the za’tar with falafel – za’atar wrapped up with freshly cooked falafel, capsicum, onion, olives & tomato, then drizzled with tahini – just $8.

Another great vegan option is our spinach pie – a mix of spinach, tomato, onion & spices in a triangle pie – $5.

Manoosh

Speciality Wraps

There’s no reason why vegan food has to be flavourless or boring. Many traditional Lebanese ingredients are vegan and when combined together, can be truly delicious. Hummus is an excellent vegan option if you’re looking for something little indulgent that’s also incredibly healthy.

Falafel is great option for those looking for an alternative to just plain veggies. Our falafel wrap features freshly cooked falafel, hummus, lettuce, tomato & pickles drizzled with our tahini sauce.

Or if you’re not a fan of falafel (crazy), our Vegan’s Delight is packed full of veggies with tomato, grilled mushrooms, spinach, onions and olives drizzled with hummus, wrapped up in sesame-coated flatbread. Out shawarma wrap is delicious too!

Something Else?

We have a selection of delicious sides to cater to vegans looking for something wholesome and healthy. Our pumpkin kebbeh is incredible with chickpea, spinach and onion filling encased in a burghul and pumpkin football. Or you can opt for our incredible classic falafel to compliment a wrap or pizza. We make our falafel using chickpeas, onions, parsley and spices – the recipe, however, is our secret.

If you’re feeling garlicy, our vegan garlic bread will blow your mind too, made using freshly baked dough that is smothered with vegan Lebanese garlic sauce and a hint of oregano. We also offer an array of vegan dips including hummous, garlic dip and babaghanoushj.

hummus

Something Sweet

We aren’t just about savoury food at Manoosh, we also offer some of the of the best vegan food Sydney has to offer when it comes to sweets. Our vegan baklava is a revelation. As is our halwala, which is a delicious blend of sweet tahini, pistachios and banana enclosed in puff pastry. To top it off you can also add our delicious vegan chocolate! For a classic we offer vegan peanut butter fudge, and an array of vegan icecreams from our friends at Booza!

everybody loves baklava

You don’t have to be a meat eater to enjoy eating at OOSHMAN (formerly known as Manoosh) , we firmly believe we offer the best vegan food Sydney has to offer and we love searching for new ways to cater for our vegan friends. If you’re feeling hungry – vegan or not – drop by OOSHMAN. Or if you’re after top quality mobile pizza catering, give us a call.

Why We Love Delivering Pizza in Wolli Creek

Wolli Creek is one of our newest delivery areas. We love delivering pizza in Wolli Creek – the whole suburb is expanding massively and we are stoked to be a part of such a vibrant up-and-coming neighbourhood.

pizza in newtown

We love delivering pizza in Wolli Creek; the whole suburb is expanding so quickly and that means that more and more people will be needing pizza!

For years Wolli Creek was mainly an industrial area until it was considered for mass redevelopment in the 90s. The suburb sits snugly mid-way between the CBD and Sydney Airport, meaning that it was the perfect place to be built up for residential purposes.

The new suburb was initially to be called North Arncliffe, but residents put their foot down, petitioning for it to called something a bit better. Wolli Creek was the most popular choicce – named after the stream of water to the north of the area – it officially became a suburb in 2002.

Since then there have been loads of new apartments put up, parks cleaned and trimmed for use by residents, and most importantly for us, shopping villages built, providing central spaces for an array of new restaurants and cafes to set up shop. Now more and more people in the area are craving interesting and delicious food, and the demand for pizza in Wolli Creek there has never been higher.

These days there is a much bigger selection of good food in Wolli Creek and we are proud to contribute to this hotpot of cultures, offering up a selection of Lebanese street food, traditional Lebanese classics, modern Australian pizzas, an array of vegetarian and vegan options and desserts you won’t be able to find anywhere else (our vegan baklava is the best).

The Manoosh Mascot is Named and Immortalised in Art

To celebrate the success of our new store in Marrickville, we decided to ask our loyal customers and hard working staff to help us come up with a name for our famous, beloved, yet previously unnamed mascot – And we’ve also had him immortalised in a mural on our Marrickville store wall!

Manoosh OoshmanNow you can put a name to that famous cheeky mustachioed face. The Manoosh mascot is named, and has been immortalised in a work of art!

We asked our followers on facebook to help us come up with some suggestions, then the final poll was down to our staff members (of course they have to work with him every day).

We were inundated with suggestions from Facebook. Some brilliant, some less so, some ridiculous, and some were just plain obscene! 🙂

In the end, our staff decided that our faithful mascot shall henceforth be known as:

“The Oosh Man”

manoosh_the_ooshman_mural_full

We’re extremely proud of the success of our new Marrickville store. It’s all thanks to our hardworking staff, our loyal customers, and of course, The Oosh Man himself. Orders in our new delivery suburbs Earlwood and Wolli Creek are rapidly rising – so if you know any poor souls out there who don’t know the delivery area has expanded, spread the word and let the OOSHMAN (formerly known as Manoosh) flow.

manoosh_marrickville_instore

Why not come and say “Hi” to The Oosh Man in person and  drop by OOSHMAN , or if the couch is feeling just too comfy at the moment,  order online and let us come to you. If you haven’t already, you can subscribe to our monthly newsletter to stay in the loop.
