Book NowAbout Gabriella Pizza
A Carnegie fixture for decades, Gabriella Pizza serves the classic Melbourne slice loaded edge-to-edge with generous toppings on a crisp, chewy crust. The room keeps an unmistakable old-school vibe, with wooden bench seating up front and owner Sam still anchoring the counter. Regulars know the unlisted house tip: ask for the base rolled out from a smaller dough portion and baked well-done for extra crunch. Out back, a sheltered pergola dining space with cafe blinds and heaters easily accommodates casual family gatherings and birthday groups over garlic focaccia and stacked Super Lot pies.
- Heavily loaded traditional toppings: Pizzas come heavily layered with traditional ingredients right to the rim on an old-school crust that holds its crunch.
- Off-menu thin-crust customization: Diners can request their dough stretched thin from a smaller ball size and fired well-done for extra crispness.
- Heated pergola courtyard: A back courtyard pergola outfitted with winter heating and cafe blinds welcomes casual celebrations and family crowds.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you customize the pizza crust style?
Yes, you can request a thin base and ask for it to be cooked well done. For the thin option, the kitchen stretches the dough from a size smaller—such as using medium-sized dough for a large pizza.
How large are the portions?
The pizzas are generously topped and very filling. Two small pizzas are typically plenty to share between two people, and a single large pizza can easily satisfy two diners.
Is there outdoor or covered seating out back?
Yes. While there are tables inside near the pizza oven, there is also covered courtyard seating out the back fitted with cafe blinds and heaters for colder weather, which can also be reserved for group events.
Should you make a reservation for groups?
Reservations are accepted and recommended if you are planning to visit with a party of 5 or more, or if you wish to reserve the back room for an event.
