Ziggy’s Pizza in Gerringong celebrated its first anniversary in style last weekend, transforming the occasion into a convivial community gathering. The vibrant celebration featured delicious food, live music by rising local talent Bobbi Smith in her professional debut, and plenty of smiles.

Guests enjoyed sampling Ziggy’s latest pizza creations and menu items, soaking in the welcoming atmosphere the restaurant has become known for. Ziggy’s opened its doors in December 2023, following a major rebranding, refurbishment, and menu overhaul of the beloved Zoobs Pizza. Under the leadership of 20-year-old owner Damon Zwicker and his dedicated young team, the restaurant has earned a reputation for its high-quality food and service, becoming a go-to spot for locals and tourists alike.

“This celebration was more than just an anniversary; it was our way of saying thank you to the community for their incredible support over the past year,” Damon shared. “We wouldn’t be here without them.”

The event also marked a moment of resilience for Ziggy’s, following a disheartening break-in just two weeks earlier. “The break-in felt personal, it was a bit of a kick in the guts after all the hard work the team has put in,” Damon admitted. “But this celebration, with its energy, music, and laughter, was the perfect antidote.”

Damon praised his team’s dedication and the community’s encouragement throughout the year. “We’re excited to keep serving the best pizzas in town and to remain a part of this amazing community,” he said.

As the night ended, Damon extended his gratitude to everyone who attended the celebration and supported Ziggy’s journey. “Here’s to many more birthdays, pizzas, and shared moments,” he said with a smile.

The anniversary celebration was not just a milestone for Ziggy’s—it was a testament to the power of community spirit and the resilience of a young team determined to succeed.
