Criniti ’ s was originally established in 2003 in Parramatta , Sydney ’ s west by an inspired husband and wife team , Frank and Rima Criniti

and traditional dishes at Criniti ’ s is the Pizza al Metro . The large pizza comes from an old Italian tradition dating back to the early 19th century from Vico Equense located near Sorrento .
The Pizza al Metro phenomenon soon spread throughout Italy and Europe and pizza at Criniti ’ s restaurants is made from a wood fired crust and is so big it is served on long wooden boards in half metre , one metre , two metre and three metre lengths . The Pizza al
Metro is made to share and often comes with a challenge , such as the ‘ 2 Mates , 2 Metres ’ challenge , where two people have an hour to eat two metres of pizza .
Southern Italian way of life The company ’ s philosophy since the first restaurant was opened is to provide dishes that convey the southern Italian way of life through the same aromas and tastes experienced by generations of the Criniti family .
