Who does Beenleigh's best pizza?

Choosing what makes a perfect pizza comes down to personal preference. The team at Beenleigh Online prefer a thin crispy base with a generous Meatlovers topping so this is what was ordered at each shop. We set out to find the best on offer in Beenleigh. It was a tough challenge, but then someone had to do it, right? Although we don't have a restaurant offering traditional pizza, we looked at what was on offer and this is what we found.

Our overall winner is Super Pizza at Mt Warren Park, with Pizza Capers coming in a close second, both were  more expensive than Pizza Hut, Dominos and Eagle Boys, but it's worth it. The pizza had fresh and generous amounts of topping, as well as great flavour.

Who doesn't like a hamburger?

Beenleigh coffee. What's it like? What's out there to choose from? We've decided to find out!
We went out and found all the centrally located coffee vendors that served cappuchino's with the intention of comparing them all. Our criteria for the comparison was simply, we asked for a small takeaway cappuchino. All drinks were measured and tasted within a few minutes of being served. We tested the volume, temperature (one of my pet hates is coffee served too hot to drink!) and also gave it a rating for flavour. As you can appreciate, the flavour rating is purely a personal thing so take it as a rough guide only. One thing that is not subjective however, is the price, and we've recorded that as well, the results are below.
