Pizza restaurants in Melbourne

  1. A

    Banff

    It's not just the daily happy hour that keeps Banff's Fitzroy St–fronting chairs occupied; it's also the $9 pizzas ($5 for lunch).

    Lucky Coq

    Bargain pizzas and plenty of late-night DJ action make this a good start or end to a Chapel St eve. Reports of suit-wearers being denied entry may excite some.

    Woodstock

    Paying no heed to Giovanni-come-lately hipster hotspots like Ladro, Woodstock keeps satisfying its local fan base as it has for 12-odd years - with authentic, thin-crust wood-fired pizzas with great-quality, just-so toppings. Like that old cardigan that's comfortable enough to make you forget about fashion, we can forgive Woodstock's daggy décor for the sake of that amazing crust - and the cheerful family-run vibe.

    Pizza Meine Liebe

    While Meine Liebe falls squarely into the ‘new pizza’ camp, with a wonderful range of simple toppings, it still feels reassuringly old-school, with a central gas oven, simple shopfront space and lots of bustle. Salads and gelato keep the menu suitably simple. For those about to rock (ie if you’re seeing an act at the Northcote Social Club), we salute you, but also suggest booking for a preshow pizza.

    Doc

    DOC has jumped on the Milanese-led mozzarella bar trend and serves up the milky white balls – your choice of local cow or imported buffala – as entrees, in salads or atop fabulous pizzas. Toppings include creamy broccoli puree and prosciutto, bitter-sweet cicoria (chicory) and lemon, and the litmus-test margherita gets rave reviews. The buffalo milk gelato is a delight or they do dessert pizzas if you’re up for double dough.

    Mr Wolf

    Local celeb chef Karen Martini’s casual but stylish space is out of the action but always packed to the gills. The pizzas here are renowned (crisp with top quality ingredients) but there’s also a great menu of antipasti and pastas that display her flair for matching ingredients. Don’t let the groove factor put you off taking the kids; they have a couple of special bambini pizzas and lots of kid-friendly desserts. If there are no little ones in tow, the next-door bar is open late.

    Ladro

    Breathtakingly simple, just-right pizza, pasta and roasts pack in a diverse, if polished, crowd every night. Book ahead: believe us, the Lazio, smeared with an artichoke and anchovy paste and strewn with fior di latte, is worth getting organised for.
