About Wolf and Swill

Bumping High Street energy meets serious dough craft at this Thornbury local, where crusts rest for 72 hours before hitting the oven. Word has spread fast among Melbourne pizza purists for blistering cornicione loaded with thinly sliced potato, sweet potato and pear, or honey garlic drizzled with house chilli oil. Aperitivo hour sets the room off with blood orange margaritas and spritzes, while Mondays pack out for paired tequila drinks and classic margheritas. The kitchen also turns out spicy share plates, gluten-free bases, and morning brekky pies in a backyard courtyard shaded by citrus trees.

  • 72-Hour Fermented Pies: Dough fermented for 72 hours yields blistering crusts topped with potato, lamb, honey garlic, and chilli oil.
  • Margarita Mondays: Early-week crowds pile in for paired classic cocktails and margherita pizzas alongside blood orange aperitivo pours.
  • Courtyard Sessions: A leafy backyard with citrus trees, festoon lighting, and outdoor heaters welcomes daytime breakfast pizzas and evening drinks.

  • Dedicated Margarita Monday Ritual

    Early-week dining is revitalized with paired margarita cocktails and margherita pizzas that transform ordinary Mondays.

    on Mondays, their Margarita cocktail and pizza special is a game-changer. Despite my usual Monday dread, this special keeps me going through my emotional Monday ordeal.

    Extended daytime hours open up a sunny outdoor courtyard for breakfast pizzas, coffee, and relaxed morning catch-ups.

    Visiting friends who live nearby, we were looking for a funky breakfast spot. We came to Wolf and Swill and had the brekky pizza and the soldiers - both dishes were delicious!

Before you head over

Practical tips for planning your visit to Wolf and Swill

  • Book Ahead for Margarita Monday

    Monday nights get packed quickly for the Margherita pizza and margarita cocktail specials, so booking ahead or arriving prepared for a potential wait is advisable.

  • Allow Extra Time During Peak Dinner Service

    The kitchen and dining room can get busy during peak evening services, leading to longer preparation times for pizzas, so plan for a relaxed visit and enjoy drinks while waiting.

  • Consider Sharing Breakfast Pizzas

    Breakfast and brunch pizzas are larger than expected, making them ideal to split between two people rather than ordering individually.
