Sticky Fingers Pizzeria

Sticky Fingers Pizzeria is a long-running Brunswick Heads spot built around thin-based pizza, relaxed dining and takeaway. The restaurant says it has been part of the town for more than 30 years, making it a genuine local institution rather than a recent addition. Its pizzas use a homemade tomato base and a broad mix of classic, gourmet and vegetarian combinations, with gluten-free bases and vegan cheese available for customers who request them.

The menu ranges from straightforward choices such as Margherita and Pepperoni to more distinctive options including Screaming Eagle, with pepperoni, fresh tomato and chilli, and Pigs in Space, which combines prosciutto and mushrooms with wild rocket and aioli. Seafood fans can look to Crab Pot, while the Mediterranean vegetarian pizza brings together eggplant, pumpkin, spinach, capsicum, olives, artichokes, mushrooms, feta and pesto. There are also salads, garlic and herb panini, panuozzo, desserts, beer, wine and soft drinks. Wine-only BYO is available, with corkage charged per bottle.

The setting is part of the appeal. Sticky Fingers describes its atmosphere as relaxed and family-friendly, with alfresco dining in the heart of Brunswick Heads. The venue also encourages guests to pick up a pizza and sit by the river, giving a takeaway meal an easygoing local setting. Weekend service starts earlier than on weekdays, and the restaurant is open seven days for dine-in and takeaway, making it suitable for a casual afternoon or evening meal.

It is an adaptable choice for families, groups and anyone after an uncomplicated pizza night, while the vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options make it easier to cater for mixed preferences. Couples can settle in for a relaxed meal, and takeaway works just as well for a low-key night elsewhere in Brunswick Heads or Byron Bay. With its long history, broad pizza selection and casual riverside feel, Sticky Fingers is focused on doing one thing well while offering enough variety for repeat visits.
