Quick trivia - The Australian Coat of Arms has a kangaroo and an emu on it. These two animals were chosen because it is said that they cannot move backwards, only forward - which symbolizes progress. (But if you're Aussie, I'm sure you already know this, in which case, just bear with me)
The Australian Heritage Hotel has something called, 'the coat of arms' pizza.
So does anyone know why it's called that?
You guessed it! It is topped with kangaroo and emu! (half emu & half pepper Kangaroo with red onion, bush tomato, capsicum & cranberries).
This was my first time trying kangaroo or emu so I really have nothing to compare it to. It didn't really taste like any other meats I've had. It actually didn't really taste like anything - except for the sauce that they put on it, which just tasted really tart. I wasn't a fan. I wish I was able to taste more of the flavor of the kangaroo and emu.
We also had the roast Peking duck pizza (mushroom, red onion, spinach, shallots, toasted sesame seeds, plum Hoi Sin sauce). They didn't skimp out on the duck slices, but they did overdo it on the hoisin sauce. The pizza was good but just a tad too salty from all that sauce.
Last but not least, we also had the Mediterranean pizza (pesto & tomato sauce, garlic chicken, kalamata olives, spanish onion, roasted eggplant & mozzarella). This was pretty good too. You know how chicken on pizza is usually dry? This one wasn't.
It seems like their other pizzas would be pretty good. just as long as you avoid the unconventional meats.
Tip - they accept ressos on their website. My friends and I came in on a Monday at around 7:30 and it wasn't too packed. But I'm not sure how long the wait is for other nights.
