Embers Woodfired Pizzas of Coorparoo.

Went there with a friend a couple of nights back. They weren't busy but
were trying to rush us for the orders. Not a good start!!

The wine list is quite small and mainly cellar door/travelling salesman
type wines (ie, you won't find them in many wine stores). Not knowing
what was and what wasn't any good, I had to go for a region rather than
a winery. At least they had *one* Coonawarra on the shelf!! (And for
the $25 they charged, it should have been a lot better than it was!! It
would probably retail for about $12-$15)

The entree was chips with garlic aoli. For $5.75 I was expecting hand
cut chips at least, maybe even beer battered. They were the frozen
shoestring kind, in a small bowl with a miniscule amount(ie, thimble
full) of aoli.

We both decided to try a pizza. All pizzas are dinner plate size, and
are between $16-$19.
My friend had a "Mahatmadori", which is tandoori based, with sweet
chilli and yoghurt swirled on top. It was quite tasty.

I had a "Balinese Whisper". Supposed to have been a 'spicy'. For all
the ingredients that it contained, it was the blandest pizza I have
ever tasted.

Luckily my friend had one of those 'Entertainment' vouchers (probably
why she picked it!!)
The bill came to $52, which was basically the chips, 1 pizza, a bottle
of wine and one coffee.
We asked for, and got, a takeaway box for the unfinished pizza.

Next day both my friend, and I, had the shits. Literally!!
Highly unusual for me, as I have the constitution of a mongrel dog. She
was in quite some pain.

Something in the pizzas was just not right, methinks. But the next door
neighbours dog liked the leftovers :-)

Not a place I would recommend to my friends.
