OOSHMAN Marrickville

OOSHMAN Marrickville is a Lebanese-inspired spot in Marrickville, New South Wales, where the pizzas, manoosh and wraps are baked fresh to order. The dough and bread are made on site, and one person has said the best way to eat the pizza is straight from the oven.

The menu includes wraps, manoosh and vegetarian and vegan options alongside pizza. One family treated the pepperoni as a serious tasting session before declaring it a unanimous winner, and the chilli chicken pizza and spicy prawn and chorizo also get mentioned. A halal pepperoni gets a good word too. On the Lebanese side, the lamb kofta, tabouli and wraps are on the menu, and someone has ordered the peri peri chicken wrap. The crunchy wings with hot honey and the mozzarella sticks are mentioned as extras worth ordering, and there's a chocolate lava cake if you want dessert. Vegetarian and vegan options are on offer, and there is seating inside and outdoors, which makes it an easy choice for families with kids.

You can dine in, take away, have it delivered, or arrange catering. Takeaway and delivery are the popular routes, and the kitchen runs busy. The staff are friendly at the counter, with one manager, Fidel, getting a particular mention for keeping things running smoothly. A typical takeaway wait is around ten minutes, though at a quieter hour one person found a manoosh took longer than they'd hoped.

Some find the value reasonable for the quality and size, while others felt delivery orders with extra fees from the apps came out pricey, so it's worth comparing ordering directly against the delivery apps. The pizza itself earns a mix of enthusiasm and the odd "perfectly decent" verdict.

It opens daily, with later hours towards the weekend, so check the hours before you head in.
