About Little Joe

Little Joe delivers thin, blistered wood-fired pizzas and café staples right on the Warburton Highway. Day-trippers heading toward the redwood forest pull in for crisp crusts dusted with semolina, topped with garlic bases, field mushrooms, or ribboned zucchini and fennel. The open kitchen pairs morning plates like Eggs Benedict and bacon on sourdough with all-day wood-fired pies. Out back, the leafy dog-friendly patio offers a breather from the road with cold wine, house apple juice, and shoestring fries.

  • Wood-fired thin crusts: Thin, semolina-dusted bases baked in the wood-fired oven with toppings like mushroom, zucchini, and fennel.
  • Brunch and pizza dual menu: Morning café staples like Eggs Benedict and bacon sit comfortably alongside all-day wood-fired pizzas.
  • Dog-friendly outdoor patio: Dog-friendly patio dining surrounded by greenery, well-suited for a relaxed post-walk meal or cold drink.

Why Choose Little Joe

Why travelers and locals choose Little Joe for wood-fired pizzas and relaxed Warburton dining.

  • Wood-Fired Thin Crusts

    Thin-crust pizzas cooked in the wood-fired oven achieve an authentic texture that does not sag.

    The Zucchini Pizza was brilliant from the Wood-fired oven, bread was perfect thin based, didn’t sag and really tasty too.

  • Distinctive Flavor Twists

    Creative topping combinations include ingredients like zucchini, garlic, and fennel alongside classic styles.

    They don’t serve the traditional pizza but have their own twist which is yummy. I had the zucchini, garlic and fennel pizza! It was something different than usual pizza.

    A versatile dual menu pairs morning brunch staples like Eggs Benedict with wood-fired pizzas throughout the day.

    We ordered one of their woodfire pizza, smoked salmon egg Benedicts and side salad with fries.

  • Tranquil Outdoor Patio

    Open-air seating provides a peaceful setting to unwind with drinks surrounded by Warburton nature.

    Best coffee enjoyed in the peaceful outdoor seating on a quiet weekday afternoon, to the distant sounds of kookaburras...

Practical advice on timing, ordering, and arrival for your visit

    Street parking is available just down the road, making for an easy walk when stopping by before or after visiting local forest trails.
