About Buoy Pizza

Tucked off Walpole Street, Buoy delivers the comforting nostalgia of a proper suburban pizza joint without the steep price tag. Kew regulars lean on the kitchen for hefty, bubbling slabs of chicken parma, crisp thin-crust bases, and generous plates of marinara spaghetti. Tables fill fast with lively multi-generational crews sharing blue cheese and potato pies alongside house cocktails and boozy shakes. Bring your own wine for a modest corkage or have staff dish up a homemade celebration cake brought from home. Gluten-free crusts get dedicated care—cooked entirely separately on busy nights.

  • BYO & Full Bar Service: Diners can bring their own bottled wine for a small fee or order house cocktails and boozy shakes.
  • Celebration-Friendly Dining: Staff accommodate celebrations by slicing and serving outside birthday cakes brought to tables.
  • Dedicated Gluten-Free Prep: Gluten-free menu items are prepped and cooked separately even during peak dinner rush hours.
