About Cliffe's Cafe & Pizza

This casual Queenscliff stop hits the spot with thin-crust pizzas loaded to the edge and old-school seaside comfort. Tables fill with hungry families and day-trippers coming off the ferry or beach, trading slices of crisp pepperoni alongside golden chicken parmas and chips doused in gravy. Counter staff look after kids with thoughtful extras while keeping the roomy dining floor spotless. It is straightforward, generous coastal fuel—best paired with a cold drink before a sunset stroll down by Queenscliff pier.

  • Heavily Loaded Thin-Crust Pizzas: Thin, crisp crusts come piled high with savory toppings, from classic pepperoni to gourmet vegetarian.
  • Seaside Cafe & Grill Staples: Hearty chicken parmas, chips with gravy, and beef burgers offer classic alternatives to pizza night.
  • Effortless Family Dining: A relaxed, spacious setup where attentive counter staff accommodate families and children with ease.

Before you head over

Practical advice on parking, menu selections, and timing your visit.

  • Plan for Peak Parking

    Peak meal times can make street spots hard to secure nearby, though spaces open up along surrounding streets if you are willing to walk a short distance.

  • Check Your Pizza Style

    If you enjoy traditional tomato-forward styles, be aware the Margherita leans cheese-heavy; consider the pepperoni or supreme for richly sauced, loaded slices.

  • Time Around Ferry and Transit Rushes

    Located near the pier and car ferry, the cafe can see rushes around transit schedules, but quick turnaround on items like wraps and burgers makes takeaway seamless.
