About Ciccio Pizza

Pascoe Vale quietly turns out 15-inch Roman-style pies that spill over the edges of their plates. A quick blast in the wood oven blister-chars the dough, yielding a crackling cornicione that holds its structure under generous toppings. Regulars point newcomers toward the roast lamb with feta and olives, though the buttery pumpkin base with gorgonzola pulls equal weight. Beyond the pizza peel, orders turn to baked Bolognese gnocchi, garlic prawns, and cold Amaro Spritzes. The room runs on easy neighborhood warmth—staff welcome families with prams, seat late arrivals without fuss, and clear space out back for weekend acoustic sets.

  • Oversized Woodfired Pies: Oversized Roman-style thin crusts fire in the wood oven, stretching past 15-inch platters with crisp bases and toppings like braised lamb, feta, or roasted pumpkin.
  • Trattoria Comfort Classics: Kitchen specials branch beyond pizza into rich slow-cooked Bolognese ragù baked gnocchi, sizzling garlic prawns, and espresso-soaked tiramisu.
  • Backyard Sets & Warm Hospitality: Backyard garden tables host acoustic guitarists and weekend performers, framed by warm neighborhood service that treats families and late diners like regulars.

Frequently Asked Questions

How large are the pizzas and what style of crust can you expect?

Ciccio serves Roman-style pizzas known for being unusually large, thin, and crispy—often measuring 15 inches and hanging over standard plates. Bases hold generous toppings while remaining light and crunchy, with gluten-free bases also served in the same large format.

Does the restaurant offer live music during dinner?

Yes. The venue regularly features live music performances during dinner service, including Saturday night acoustic sets, Spanish vocalists, and weekend bands.

What specialty pizza bases and menu items should you know about before ordering?

While they offer traditional staples like the Margherita, they are well known for inventive signature options like the pumpkin-based Contadina, Zucca, the sweet-and-savory Figa, and spicy Ndjua. Note that full pasta dishes are not always available on the standard regular menu, so checking ahead is recommended if you are visiting specifically for extended pasta specials.

Should you book a table before dining in?

Ciccio accepts table reservations, which are recommended because indoor dining is cozy and intimate with limited tables, particularly on busy weekend evenings when live entertainment draws crowds.
