About Maurizio Pizzeria

Maurizio Pizzeria serves genuine wood-fired pies with airy dough, pulled hot from the brick oven in Reservoir. The kitchen is run by an Italian family, turning out plates of arancini, house meatballs, and pizza topped with mortadella and ricotta. Guests can watch pizzaiolo Maurizio work the wood fire front and centre, or opt for a dedicated wood-fired gluten-free crust. Tables frequently share antipasto boards loaded with cured meats and cheeses before finishing with house-made tiramisu.

  • Visible Wood-Fired Hearth: Watch owner and pizzaiolo Maurizio craft airy dough pizzas right in front of the wood-fired hearth.
  • Wood-Fired Gluten-Free Crusts: Coeliac and gluten-sensitive diners can order dedicated wood-fired crusts without sacrificing texture.
  • Family-Style Feasting: Generous shared antipasto platters, arancini, and pastas cater to family feasts and gatherings.

  • Authentic Italian Neighbourhood Vibe

    Italian pizza lovers and travellers note the crust texture, fragrant aroma, and authentic execution mirror pizzerias across Italy.

    It's almost as being in Italy where I came from.

  • Gluten-Free Wood-Fired Crusts

    Coeliac and gluten-sensitive guests can order dedicated wood-fired pizzas with a crisp, flavorful base and classic toppings.

    The gluten free base was perfect. The tomato sauce was delicious and all the ingredients really tasty.

  • Slow-Fermented Artisan Dough

    Pizzas are prepared using 48-hour fermented dough that produces a light, digestible, and stretchy crumb.

    The dough and toppings had amazing flavour and texture, you could really taste the quality ingredients.

    The venue easily hosts family milestones and work functions with expansive antipasto platters and shared wood-fired pizzas.

    The large ‘shared’ antipasto board at the start was delicious with fresh meats and cheeses.
