This isn't your typical pokies-and-parma establishment – it's a thoughtfully crafted pizza bar where craft beer culture meets authentic Italian technique. The kitchen turns out proper wood-fired pizzas with carefully sourced toppings, whilst the bar showcases an impressive rotation of local and interstate craft brews that change with the seasons. The atmosphere strikes that elusive balance between relaxed and refined, where families feel welcome during weekend lunch service, yet date nights unfold naturally over shared plates and natural wines. Wednesday trivia nights have become legendary amongst Canberra's craft beer devotees, creating the kind of community spirit that defines exceptional neighbourhood venues. Their Tuesday pizza special – all pizzas for $18 – transforms the modest dining room into a buzzing hub of conversation and clinking glasses. The outdoor seating area captures afternoon sun perfectly, making it an ideal spot for long lunch sessions that drift into early evening drinks. This is destination dining disguised as your local, where every visit feels like catching up with old mates who happen to serve exceptional food and drink.", "servesCuisine": "Pizza, Australian", "priceRange": "$$", "telephone": "02 6251 1699", "address": { "@type": "PostalAddress", "streetAddress": "24 Cook Pl", "addressLocality": "Cook", "addressRegion": "ACT", "postalCode": "2614", "addressCountry": "AU" }, "geo": { "@type": "GeoCoordinates", "latitude": "-35.2591213", "longitude": "149.0634528" }, "openingHoursSpecification": [ { "@type": "OpeningHoursSpecification", "dayOfWeek": ["Tuesday", "Wednesday", "Thursday", "Friday"], "opens": "15:00", "closes": "21:00" }, { "@type": "OpeningHoursSpecification", "dayOfWeek": "Saturday", "opens": "12:00", "closes": "21:00" }, { "@type": "OpeningHoursSpecification", "dayOfWeek": "Sunday", "opens": "12:00", "closes": "20:00" } ], "keywords": "pizza, craft beer, pub, neighbourhood bar, wood-fired pizza", "areaServed": "Belconnen", "url": "https://www.bestrestaurantscanberra.com.au/restaurants/to-all-my-friends", "hasMenu": "https://www.toallmyfriends.com.au/food", "acceptsReservations": "True", "paymentAccepted": "Cash, Credit Card, EFTPOS", "currenciesAccepted": "AUD", "sameAs": [ "http://www.toallmyfriends.com.au/", "https://www.facebook.com/toallmyfriendscook", "https://www.instagram.com/toallmyfriends_cook" ], "hasMap": "https://maps.google.com/?q=-35.2591213,149.0634528", "smokingAllowed": "False", "publicAccess": "True", "aggregateRating": { "@type": "AggregateRating", "ratingValue": "4.7" }}
