Pizza Piatsa is the oddly conjoined twin of the Sip Inn on Erskineville Rd. It’s essentially a takeaway pizza place with a coffee machine right next to Sip Inn’s front door, so I wasn’t exactly expecting a top-notch cafe experience. Accordingly, the coffee was a little bit worse than “meh”, so the banana bread really caught me off guard. What is this? Magic banana bread conjured straight out of my imagination? Huge, fresh, impossibly light and yet also substantial – I couldn’t have dreamed up a banana bread this good. Perhaps it was just a perfect coincidence of factors: it just happened have a perfectly sweet batch of bananas baked into it, I arrived at just the right time for it to be as fresh as it gets and it was cut to the precisely right thickness for that amount of toasting. Maybe if I went back again, those circumstances wouldn’t be repeatable, or maybe the whole place would have vanished in a dream-like haze. Either way, I was left dazed and delightfully confused.
