Tucked down a laneway, housed in an industrial building, you'll find our quirky pizzeria. Our vibe is super casual and we love to see our customers sharing pizzas, beers and enjoying life. Our space is ideal for large groups, but also for families and couples. Were all about the pizza! Pizza Napoletana is authentic pizza from Naples, and we make it according to the generations-old technique....with just a little of our own twists here and there. Our dough is made in-house and fermented for a minimum of 24hrs to create a tasty and light base - minimal yeast so no bloating here. Then its hand-stretched, topped with quality ingredients imported from Italy AND sourced locally, and cooked at a fiery 400 degrees.We do other stuff as well - starters, sharers, salads, homemade desserts, and gelato. Plus cocktails, imported and locally brewed beers, and some carefully selected wines from independent wineries.

We were a party of 5. I opted for beef cheeks instead of my normal pizza, and it didn’t disappoint. It tasted awesome. We also had carbonara, pizza and crumbed pork loin. Everyone loved their meals. Service was great, waitress was new to the restaurant but was very attentive and friendly. We will definitely return again and again and again.!

We have been to Market Bistro many of times and it never disappoints. The food is amazing the service is excellent, with a great selection of wines available in the restaurant or pop out to the wine cellar and purchase a bottle to enjoy with your meal. I totally recommend Market Bistro for any occasion, lunch or dinner.

Dinner and drinks in the Whiskey Bar as summer storms blow past. Incredible. Our girls social club started 4 years ago at Ricks, and always return to our first meeting point. Whether it's just drinks with friends or a meal, Ricks never disappoints.
