About Farro Pizzeria Thornbury

Craving a proper slice without the post-carb slump? Farro Pizzeria solves the dilemma. The kitchen builds pies on organic spelt dough—yielding a crisp cornicione that digests cleanly without the heavy weight. Coeliac diners and gluten-sensitive regulars lean on the dedicated allergy-safe crusts, while pasta fans split bowls of Casarecce Ortolana with Campari and soda. Under a ceiling hung with hundreds of rolling pins, tables hum with Thornbury energy, though grabbing a spot on the outdoor balcony overlooking the Melbourne skyline remains the veteran move.

  • Digestible Spelt Bases: Pies feature organic spelt flour that yields a light, crisp crust without the digestive drag, alongside certified coeliac-safe, soy-free options.
  • Distinctive Atmosphere: Warm, dimly lit dining room hung with hundreds of rolling pins, complete with an open-air balcony framing Melbourne skyline views.
  • Milestone Celebrations: Attentive hospitality and generous share plates handle birthday dinners, engagements, and milestone gatherings without missing a beat.
