ABS Smokehouse Pizza Cafe

Murray River


This casual, rather perplexingly named eatery across from the pub raises plenty of questions: is it an Italian joint? Does it smoke its own meats? Who or what is ABS? Will my abs suffer if I eat here? But ultimately, all you need to know is that the pizzas are pretty decent (try the El Diablo, with house-made chilli sauce).
