    This is by far my favourite pizza spot in Melbourne. The pizza has the perfect chewy base and the toppings are always generous and full of flavor. We always choose to sit outside as Rathdowne Village is away from the busy roads and has a quiet, relaxed vibe. The staff are incredibly warm and accommodating and brought some water out for my dog. It’s a great spot for anyone looking for quality pizza in a cozy setting.

    Always the best Pizza, just a little disappointed by my salad which I raised with staff & was promptly addressed. No other Pizza like this & highly recommend to all when Pizza discussions arise.
