About Firebox Pizza Hawthorn

Wood-fired crusts, inventive half-and-half toppings, and authentic Brazilian flavors make Firebox Pizza a standout on Glenferrie Road. Beyond the front counter lies a cozy back dining room serving crisp, blistered pies loaded with toppings. Regulars point newcomers toward the Brazilian specialty menu—specifically the Mineira with savory Catupiry cheese and the Gaúcho layered with smoked chorizo. Indecisive diners split options like the tiger prawn and beef brisket without friction, while coeliac guests get a remarkably light, thin gluten-free base alongside gluten-free popcorn chicken. Pungent house chili oil and hearty plates of pasta, like the king prawn gamberi, finish the spread.

  • Brazilian-Style Gourmet Pies: Specialty recipes feature Brazilian staples like creamy Catupiry cheese, smoked chorizo on the Gaúcho, and beef stroganoff.
  • Half-and-Half Flexibility: Split two signature gourmet or classic styles across one wood-fired base with zero ordering hassle.
  • Coeliac-Safe Options: A dedicated gluten-free crust delivers authentic thin crunch, complemented by gluten-free popcorn chicken.
  • Hidden Back Dining Room: Tucked past the busy takeaway counter, a quiet dining area offers table seating, drinks, and casual dine-in service.
