About Pizzeria Romana

Thin, stone-baked Roman rounds that stay crisp without the soggy middle of Neapolitan crusts. Tucked away on Market Street, this low-key dining room runs entirely on the energy of an owner-operator family. The kitchen balances orthodox classics with smart specialty white bases—sliced zucchini with kipfler potato and rosemary, or prawns cooked with sweet bounce. Takeaways hold heat effortlessly across the drive home, but dining in means chilled spritzes, a bowl of spiced olives, and paper-thin prosciutto sliced fresh.

  • Crisp Roman Crust: Wood-fired stone baking yields a thin, structural base that retains crunch and skips the center flop.
  • Specialty Toppings: Standouts include zucchini paired with kipfler potato and rosemary or juicy prawns and anchovies.
  • Family-Run Operation: An intimate, unhurried dining room managed personally by the owner and family.

Why Choose Pizzeria Romana

Why local diners and pizza lovers choose Pizzeria Romana for authentic Roman-style wood-fired pizza

  • Crispy, Structural Wood-Fired Base

    Wood-fired Roman dough is baked directly on the stone to achieve a light, structural base that avoids the sogginess typical of Neapolitan styles.

    The pizza dough is light and still very structural and crispy! This is unlike other Neapolitan pizza joints that can be soggy.

  • Distinctive Roman Topping Combinations

    The kitchen serves creative and traditional combinations, highlighted by distinctive options like tender zucchini with fresh prawns or roasted kipfler potato.

    The pizza menu whilst having some fan favourites offered some unique options. We ordered the prawn and zucchini pizza as well as the capricciosa with anchovies.

  • Intimate, Uncrowded Dining Atmosphere

    A modest dining room with limited seating creates an uncrowded, cozy ambiance suited for relaxed family dinners and small gatherings.

    we love how there isn’t too many seats, so it’s not crowded which creates a nice atmosphere.

Signature wood-fired Roman-style pizzas baked crisp on stone

  • Prawn and zucchini pizza

    We ordered the prawn and zucchini pizza as well as the capricciosa with anchovies. Both were delicious, we particularly enjoyed the prawn pizza as it was fresh and the prawns were perfectly cooked still retaining their bounce.

  • Zucchini, kipfler potato and rosemary pizza

    Best pizza I've ever eaten in my 40yrs on this earth. I'd show you a photo of it but it was gone in 5 minutes. (Had the zucchini, kipfler potato and rosemary pizza)

  • Mushroom and sausage pizza

    The wood-fired pizzas here are incredible, with a perfectly crispy crust and amazing flavors. The mushroom and sausage pizza, in particular, is out of this world!
