About Bank Street Wood Fired Pizza & Garden

Ditch the highway fast food for blistered wood-fired pies tucked away in Avenel's Goulburn Valley. Set inside an old country bank, this regional detour pulls travelers right off the Hume with thin bases, house-made dough, and honest toppings. Tables spill into a working backyard plot where basil and tomatoes grow alongside a pond, letting you unwind with local wines and crisp gin and tonics among the veggie patches.

  • Edible garden dining: Tables sit directly among garden beds growing fresh basil and tomatoes beside a garden pond.
  • Wood-fired artisan pies: Handcrafted dough baked in a traditional wood-fired oven for thin, blistered crusts.
  • Hume Highway stopover: A detour just off the Hume Highway offering regional wine and artisan pizza.

    Tables nestled right among growing vegetable beds and tomato vines create a restful, tranquil outdoor atmosphere.

    Spacious outdoor garden seating and attentive team service easily host large lunch parties and special occasions.
