About SHOP225 - Best Pizza in Australia

Melville Road’s wood-fired heavyweight bakes some of Australia’s finest Neapolitan pies—feather-light, wood-blistered, and thin enough to fold without collapsing. What sets the buzzing dining room apart is its menu-wide hospitality: coeliac diners, vegans, and strict dietary eaters get dedicated, uncompromising pizzas and pastas that match the classic wheat standard crumb for crumb. The kitchen balances bold discipline on pies like the sausage-and-mushroom 2807 alongside starters of truffle-shaved bruschetta and crispy calamari. Meals wind down over shared slabs of oversized, espresso-soaked house tiramisu.

  • Foldable Wood-Fired Crusts: Bakes feather-light, wood-blistered dough engineered to stay thin and sturdy for an authentic fold.
  • Menu-Wide Dietary Care: Accommodates coeliac, gluten-free, vegan, and halal dining with dedicated bases and dishes that rival traditional recipes.
  • Signature Pies & Tiramisu: Known for generous house staples including the mushroom-and-sausage 2807 pie, truffle bruschetta, and oversized tiramisu.

    The La Romana is a completely different vibe but equally impressive. Draped generously with delicate folds of mortadella, it feels indulgent yet refined.
