About Circa 900 Pizzeria Napoletana

Circa 900 serves proper wood-fired Neapolitan pizza with blistered, airy crusts straight from an open-flame hearth. Italian expats compare the dough to Naples originals—light, charred, and topped with San Marzano tomatoes and fior di latte. The open kitchen keeps the dining room buzzing, turning out street-food staples like golden deep-fried calzones stuffed with pork-and-fennel sausage alongside crisp cannoli filled with ricotta and dark chocolate. Gluten-intolerant regulars get an artisan base with true stretch and rise, while families settle in easily over dedicated kid menus.

  • Vera Pizza Napoletana: Wood-fired rounds with blistered, airy cornicione and traditional toppings like fior di latte and San Marzano sauce.
  • Standout Gluten-Free Base: Specialty dough crafted to match the rise, chew, and blister of traditional wheat bases.
  • Neapolitan Fried Calzone: Massive golden pockets puffed crisp and packed with sausage, greens, and melted cheese.

  • Remarkable Gluten-Free Pizza Base

    Gluten-intolerant guests can enjoy pizza night alongside family thanks to an artisan gluten-free crust that closely mimics standard risen dough.

    I don’t know why no one has mentioned their gluten free base yet, as this is honestly the best gluten free pizza in Melbourne! The only one I’ve tried whose base really resembles a normal one.
