About Pinolos Pizza & Pasta

Hillside takeout regulars skip the usual pizza joint rotation for Pinolos—built on featherlight thin bases loaded with toppings that never leave you sluggish. The kitchen turns out pub-level chicken schnitzels with crisp chips alongside pastas like creamy prawn fettuccine. Dough doesn't stop at pizza either, making way for savory garlic knots and cinnamon-dusted bites.

  • Featherlight Thin Crust: Thin, light dough baked crisp under generous portions of savory toppings without turning greasy.
  • Garlic & Cinnamon Knots: Oven-baked knots tossed in savory garlic or dusted in sweet cinnamon for dedicated side seekers.
  • Pub-Style Schnitzels: Full chicken breast schnitzels paired with pub chips and fresh sides beyond standard takeout fare.

Why Hillside locals trust Pinolos for hearty family meals and handcrafted Italian favorites

  • Pub-Grade Schnitzels and Generous Mains

    Pinolos prepares full pub-standard chicken breast schnitzels with chips and fresh sides alongside generous pasta dishes, making family dinner ordering straightforward and substantial.

    Their schnitzels are on another level, I thought I was eating at the pub. You are eating actual chicken breast with amazing pub style chips and fresh coleslaw.
