Where To Get Melbourne’s Best Pizza?

Melbourne's Finest Pizza

Pizza Miene Liebe

231 High St, Northcote

This is arguably the best pizza place in Melbourne, and it also happens to be one of most popular eateries in Northcote. The Brunswick East, Fitzroy, Collingwood, and South Yarra pizza hubs may attract more tourists, but the locals know that the best pizza is at Pizza Miene Liebe.

The scope of this is absurdly broad, and it's not hard to be overwhelmed by it. Don't give up. Choose the one that appeals to you the most and go with it. There is a lot to enjoy even if you don't eat meat or animal products.

For those who can handle heat, we recommend the Super Hot, which features tomatoes, cheddar, hot sopressa, shrimp, garlic, and chilli. Although it's not strictly Italian and sometimes has the heaviness of a New York slice with too much pork, you'll go back for more.

The Wise Guy, which features goat cheese, olives, peas, rosemary, and prosciutto, is another good option; it strays from traditional Neapolitan pizza in favour of a lighter, more modern style.

Lazerpig

343 Smith St, Fitzroy

Consistently chewy crust and delicately crisp bottom. The boys at Lazerpig know their way around a wood-fired oven, and as a result, they consistently produce some of Melbourne's finest pizza. The best, some would claim, since it strikes the ideal middle ground between traditional Italian pizza and bold new flavours.

Right in the middle of Collingwood's trendy downtown district. Both traditionalists and those in search of more experimental pizza toppings will find what they're looking for at this Smith Street pizzeria.

One of the best choices is the signature Ronny J, which starts with a peperonata base and adds pig and fennel sausage, fior, roast jalapeno, honey, and Parmigiano.

Mary Had a Little Lamb (garlic foundation, slow-cooked lamb, fior di latte, red onion, olives, cheese, rosemary, lemon) will satisfy your craving for something new, while the Queen Margherita  will satisfy your craving for something tried and true.

Regardless of how you look at it, you have to play. This delayed favourite and its reliable, seemingly magical oven are hard to ignore.

DOC Pizza & Mozzarella Bar

295 Drummond Street, Carlton

DOC Pizza, along with 400 Gradi, is a Melbourne institution that has been serving up pies since its original location opened in Carlton in 2007. As of recently, DOC's can be found not only all around Melbourne, but also in the rest of Australia, specifically in Sydney.

Still, DOC Pizza remains a go-to for some of Melbourne's finest pies, proving that diversity need not lead to mediocrity. The kitchen, like any good pizzeria, takes its inspiration from Naples, where simplicity and excellence are prized above all else.

Since opening their first restaurant, DOC Pizza has expanded into a veritable empire of Italian foodstuffs, stocking everything from pizza to coffee.

Stick to the fundamentals, like the iconic and pleasingly light Pizza DOC, which features San Marzano tomatoes, cheese, and fresh basil; it's a classic in Italy, and it's a classic in Melbourne.

Ladro TAP

162 Greville St, Prahran

Unlike other pizza joints, Ladro actively seeks out clients who specifically request gluten-free pizza. Naturally, they bake it in the exact same oven as ordinary pizza.

Patate, with its for di latte, goat's cheese, Kipfler potato, thyme, truffle oil, and basil, is a favourite pick at this Prahran restaurant on Greville Street, and you can even upgrade it with prosciutto or speck if you'd like. The Nduja is exactly what it sounds like: pork belly ndua, goat, onion, garlic, pepper, parsley, and oregano are layered above a San Marzano sugo base.

They serve the entire pizza and provide a cutting wheel so you may customise it to your liking, whether that's a sloppy New York cut or something more neat and tidy.

If you can tear yourself away from the pizza oven long enough, the vegan mozzarella is just as good.

Capitano

421 Rathdowne St, Carlton

The sourdough bases at this well-known Carlton pizzeria, which includes both Bar Liberty and Capitano, have the appropriate chew, providing ample structure for both traditional and innovative pizza toppings.

Their wine collection is extensive, so you'll need to make a thoughtful decision. There is a wide selection of wines that go well with food, including several traditional Italian labels and a couple from the home country. It can be tempting to stick with what we know to be good and order a classic pizza. But the square pizzas, such as the "Roni Square" topped with tomatoes, salami, pickled chilli, cheese, and parmesan, are where Capitano really shines.

If you're looking for something to eat that isn't pizza, you can't go wrong with the light vegan cocoa e Pepe; it's not Italian in any way, shape, or form.

Harley and Rose

572 Barkly St, West Footscray

Harley & Rose is a well-kept secret in the heart of Footscray, staffed by some of Melbourne's most unsung chefs and hospitality veterans and delivering a short but sweet menu of pizzas. Even if there are other food options at Harley and Rose besides pizza, it's hard to say no to those delicious slices of happiness.

No, we don't think in conventional terms. The Pippie Pizza is exactly what it sounds like: out there. Pizza lovers in Melbourne might be surprised to learn that the pippies at this pizza joint are topped with basil, lemon, and cream. The House Sausage pizza, which features fennel sausages, tomatoes, eggplant, and pecorino cheese, comes highly recommended as well.

Harley and Rose is located outside of the Central Business District, but it is well worth the drive. Getting your hands on some of Melbourne's finest pizza is always a good idea.

SPQR

26 Liverpool St, Melbourne

In the Central Business District of Melbourne, where can you get a wood-fired, consistently delicious sourdough pizza? Go to Liverpool Street; that's where you'll discover SPQR. They also have a location in Docklands, but the one in the Central Business District is where it's at.

The best pizza is the traditional Margherita because of its light and airy crust, but the Surf & Turf pizza is also fantastic because of its San Marzano sauce, prawns, nduja, fior di lattes, olives, and basil. For a slice of Melbourne's finest pizza, the choice is simple thanks to the menu's brevity and self-assurance in its curation.

400 Gradi

99 Lygon St, Brunswick East

After Johnny di Francesco won first place at the 2014 Pizza Championship in Italy, everyone in Melbourne, Australia, seemed obsessed with the pizzeria 400 Gradi, one of numerous traditional pizzerias in the city.

When you wish to have consistently amazing pizza prepared for you, here is the place to be as far as real Italian pizza goes.

Gradi has quickly become one of Australia's most talked-about pizza joints, despite the fact that many other excellent options have opened up since 400. For many, the original Brunswick location is still the greatest (we want to differ, but on the best days in the kitchen, it's hard to dispute).

You can't go wrong if you stick with tried-and-true methods. Try Francesco's trademark Margherita Verace pizza made with San Marzano tomatoes, Fior di latte cheese, fresh herbs, and extra virgin olive oil to get a taste of Italy without leaving the country.

Then order the Caserta (with San Marzano tomato, Fior di latte, 20-month-aged prosciutto di parma, and rocket), or my personal favourite, the incredibly fresh Bufalina.

Minimalism, as you can see, is the rule of law, and as long as the stone oven in the kitchen is kept burning at 400 ° with wood, you will have a molto bene time.

Since then, Di Francesco has put his name on other pizzerias, such as the eponymous 90 Seconds in Docklands, which boasts (and delivers) superb pizza in just 90 seconds. This is based on his belief that pizzas that take longer than seconds in the oven aren't authentic Neapolitan creations.

All the standard pizza toppings are available, such as pig, beef, cherry tomatoes, and more.

48 Hr Pizza e Gnocchi Bar

373 Malvern Rd, South Yarra

While the potato dumpling pasta at 48 Hr Pizza e Gnocchi Bar sounds delicious, the pizza at this South Yarra institution is always the better pick. Pizza until you can't eat another slice.

When it comes to the city's many pizza restaurants, many locals consider 48 hour Pizza e Gnocchi Bar to be the greatest of the best. In a vein similar to 400 Gradi and DOC, the company's success has prompted the opening of other locations throughout Melbourne, making the pizza they serve easily accessible to the majority of Melburnians.

You'd be difficult to find an Italian-obsessed Melburnian who's never stayed up late munching fan favorites like the Marinara or Notti d'Oriente (lamb chorizo, cheese, pepper, and red onion) (lamb sausage, cheese, pepper, and red onion).

It should be no surprise that the crew at this pizzeria is devoted to the belief that true Italian pizza can only be created using bread which has been seasoned for at least 48 hours with natural yeast to assist ease the burden so that the completed product isn't unduly starchy and heavy.

Baby

631-633 Church St, Richmond

In Richmond, you can find Baby Pizza on Church Road. In place of the classic pizza parlour, this goes for a more modern approach that yet satisfies the craving for something authentically Italian.

The same attention to detail can be seen here as at their other popular restaurants, Chin Chin and Kong (and the recently launched, highly publicised Society).

That much is clear from the velvety consistency of homemade mozzarella used to top pizzas like the San Daniele, which features fior di latte, San Daniele prosciutto, rocket, San Marzano, and Reggiano. And if you really want to go for it, try the Salumi, which is a savoury explosion of sensations due to the combination of double smoky leg ham, sliced ham, borgo hot salami, and tomato sauce.

When compared to other pizza joints in Melbourne, the selection in the kitchen is among the greatest.

The baby is pleased to provide gluten-free bases for those who have to avoid them but want to eat the tastiest pizza in town.

Pizza Farro

608 High St, Thornbury

Some of Melbourne's finest pizzas can be found in the suburb of Thornbury. Pizza Farro, where spelt wheat is used to make the dough, produces thin bases that are higher in protein and have a similarly satisfying texture .

Mozzarella cheese is used on all of Pizza Farro's fresh pizzas, including the Buffalo and the Gamberi Melanzane, which both have shrimp, zucchini, garlic, semi-dried tomatoes, pepper, and parsley.

Vegans in the city come here when they're craving dependable pizza, but really, everyone in the city eats here once a month or more.

Eat’aliano by Pino

120 High Street, Windsor

Eat'aliano by Pino, located on High Street in Windsor, undoubtedly serves the best pizza in the neighbourhood. In this region, a first-rate pizza oven and fresh, uncomplicated ingredients are all that's required to make a delicious pie.

The La Melbourne features S. Marzano tomato sauce, cheese, leg ham, olives, artichoke hearts, and mushrooms and is one of several nontraditional options.

La Svolta Pizzeria

450 Hampton St, Hampton

Travel to Hampton. Among the many pizzerias along the main street, your best bet is La Svolta. And for good reason, as it has become legendary.

Even if you don't order pizza, the pasta here is usually delicious. Polenta Fritta, which features shredded parmesan and truffle oil to load textures with amazing flavour, is a great example of the antipasti you should be ordering first at any Italian restaurant.

After that, we'll eat pizza. The menu has all the standards, and the kitchen clearly has a handle on handling dough. Diavola, with ingredients like eggplant and nduja, fresh cheese, and sundried tomatoes, is the pizza you get if you can only order one.

Bar Romantica

52/54 Lygon St, Brunswick East

Romantica, a popular club in Brunswick East, has successfully drawn patrons away from the more established OG 400 Gradi. You can see why they're so popular just by tasting their pizzas: they use only the freshest, local ingredients and strike a perfect balance between traditional and innovative pizza making techniques.

They keep it simple with simply passata, fior di latte cheese, and fresh basil on their signature pie. They let the wonderfully textured crust do all the work in bringing the flavorful, fresh ingredients to your mouth. Other delicious combinations are Italian sausage, passata, blue cheese, and spicy honey; Jerusalem artichoke; pecorino cheese; and rosemary.

Just add four dollars and some white anchovies to whatever you get. And yes, they do offer gluten-free pizzas.

Conclusion

Making a short list of Melbourne's greatest pizza places is a thankless task, but someone has to do it.

There's been something of a renaissance of traditional pizza in Melbourne, and we couldn't be happier about it. It's got a pizza in our hearts because to its crisp crust, abundant toppings, and mountain of cheese.
