Book NowAbout Coffin Sally
Behind a modest Port Fairy shopfront, Coffin Sally turns out thin-crust artisan pies in a 19th-century undertaker's quarters. Timber beams, stone walls, and skulls set an offbeat tone that opens into tucked-away rooms and a leafy courtyard. Regulars gravitate toward the back bar, nursing craft beers or spicy margaritas right beside an open fireplace after a wind-whipped drive along the Great Ocean Road. The kitchen bakes crisp bases topped with combos like Gorgonzola and pear or garlic prawn, accommodating gluten-free diners without sacrificing crunch or chew. Tables fill quickly on weekends, though staff routinely slide walk-ins into cozy corners near the hearth.
- Hidden Fireside Bar: Wander past the front counter into timber-and-stone nooks, a courtyard, and a back bar anchored by a wood fire.
- Thin-Crust Pies: Crisp, well-seasoned bases support inventive toppings, alongside dedicated gluten-free and dairy-free adjustments.
- Craft Drinks & Cocktails: Local craft beers, whiskies, and house cocktails mixed behind the counter keep coastal evenings lively.

Nadege Wallis Dedicated Gluten-Free Crust Options
Thoughtfully prepared gluten-free dough delivers the authentic texture and flavor of traditional artisan crusts.
It's often very hard for me to find a pizza place which has a gluten free alternative. They have it, and it's really yummy.
