About Hungry Cow Woodfire Pizzeria & Burgers

Avondale Heights locals rely on Hungry Cow for charred woodfired pizzas, loaded smash burgers, and daytime cafe plates under one roof. Morning brunch runs on Undercover Roasters espresso paired with chilli scramble and Biscoff-slicked French toast crusted in cornflakes. By sundown, the kitchen turns out tender 48-hour braised brisket, fried chicken burgers, and blistered crusts straight from the wood oven—with halal chicken and beef prepared on dedicated grills upon request. Grab a booth inside, order a side of mac and cheese croquettes, and finish with a cold matcha latte.

  • Woodfired Oven & Smoked Meats: Bakes pizzas in a real wood oven alongside smash burgers and 48-hour braised brisket.
  • Day-to-Night Diner: Transitions from morning Undercover Roasters coffee and chilli scramble to evening grill specials.
  • Considered Dietary Prep: Halal chicken and beef options are handled and grilled separately upon request.

Why Diners Choose Hungry Cow

Discover why diners choose Hungry Cow for woodfired pizza, craft burgers, and specialty brunch.

  • Authentic Woodfire Pizza Baking

    Pizzas are prepared in a dedicated woodfire oven to achieve a crispy base and smoky aroma that distinguishes them from conventional gas-deck takeaways.

    Gas heated pizza parlours can’t complete with Hungry Cow’s woodfire quality.

    Patrons seeking halal dining can request dedicated preparation, ensuring beef and chicken are cooked separately from bacon and pork products.

    Their meat and chicken are halal and cooked separately from bacon/pork.

  • Day-to-Night Brunch and Grill Lineup

    The kitchen transitions from morning specialty brunch dishes like chilli scramble and cornflake French toast directly into evening burger and grill service.

    I loved that their new brunch menu is served alongside their already well established burger and parma dinner menu.

  • Chilli Scramble

    The highlight for me was the Chilli Scramble that was super flavourful, and it had a great amount of chilli added to it, which is not very common anywhere else

  • Mac & Cheese Croquettes

    The croquettes were also perfectly crispy on the outside and cheesy on the inside - makes a great little snack on the side!

Before you head over

Practical dining and takeout advice based on neighborhood diner visits

  • Head to Canning Street for Easy Parking

    Park along Canning Street rather than Military Road for significantly simpler street parking when picking up or dining in.

  • Request Halal Preparation and Check the Sides

    If you require halal dining, notify staff when placing your order so beef and chicken can be prepared and cooked separately from bacon and pork, and note that regular chips are beer-battered.

  • Order Online Ahead to Skip the Wait

    Order in advance on their website to set a scheduled pickup window and bypass in-store wait times during peak rush hours.
