About 1000 Lire Pizza & Stuzzichini

Real wood-fired Neapolitan pizza anchors this Fitzroy North dining room—thin, pliable crusts stretched in plain view of the tables. The focal point is the open oven, where chefs toss dough before sending blistered rounds across the pass. Regulars come through for midweek and Sunday pizza specials, while the kitchen accommodates coeliac and vegetarian diners without cutting corners on the crust. Beyond the Margherita with added buffalo mozzarella, plates of crisp arancini, calamari, and buckwheat salad balance out the table, leading smoothly into limoncello semifreddo.

  • Open-Flame Kitchen Theatrics: Pizzaiolos stretch and toss dough around a prominent open wood-fired oven in the center of the room.
  • Midweek & Sunday Specials: Weekly specials include discounted pizza deals on Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays.
  • Dietary-Inclusive Menus: Coeliac-friendly gluten-free bases alongside vegetarian and vegan versions across the menu.

  • Coeliac and Dietary Inclusivity

    Coeliac and plant-based diners can enjoy full menu versatility, from dedicated gluten-free bases to custom vegetarian adjustments.

    Exceptional gluten free pizza. In fact I’d go so far as to say that is my absolute favourite. As a coeliac I have eaten many, many GF pizzas here and throughout Italy.

  • Open-Kitchen Oven Theatrics

    A focal wood-fired oven and energetic dough-stretching theatrics from skilled pizzaiolos bring dynamic culinary entertainment directly to the dining room.

    Immediately upon entry we were struck by the giant pizza oven which was the focal point of the space and entertained by the theatrics of the chefs throwing the pizza bases in the air and stretching the dough.

  • Inviting Wood-Fired Atmosphere

    A prominent central oven and open preparation counters create an inviting, aromatic ambiance suited for romantic evenings and casual dinners alike.

    The pizza is made in the wood fired oven in the middle of the bar. The smell is divine.

House-made Italian desserts and distinct specialty sides

  • Limoncello Semi Freddo

    I started with the limoncello semi freddo which I absolutely adored.

  • Chai Pannacotta

    Next was the chai pannacotta. It’s been awhile since I’ve had a pannacotta for dessert rather then brunch but I have to say this one was exceptional.

    J H

  • Buckwheat Salad

    But what really blew me away was the buckwheat salad. I’m a huge fan of the grain but don’t see it on menus much. It’s delicious paired with lentils, assorted vegetables and feta.

  • Sticky Fig Pudding

    The final dessert was a sticky fig pudding. This tasty delight rounded out the yummy trifecta.
