Enjoy pizza and rooftop views at Sophie’s
Is there anything more boujie than dining on a rooftop? I think not.
Whether it’s a bright summer evening or a dark Winter’s night, the 360-degree views to be taken in at Sophie’s are like no other. And the food ain’t too bad either…
Their GORGEOUS wood-fire pizza menu offers a wide range of pizza goodness for all tastes.
Their glorious side dishes include a creamy, golden Mac & Cheese and the house favourite – the Parmesan Fries.
And you can enjoy all of this under heaters and blankets (just in case this didn’t sound appealing already).
