About Woodfire Pizzeria & Cucina

Woodfire Pizzeria & Cucina delivers blistered Neapolitan-style pizzas and traditional Italian comfort without the trek into central Melbourne. Thin, chewy crusts emerge straight from the wood-burning oven alongside plates of tender calamari and al dente pastas. Regulars point to the porco porcini pizza and rich lasagne, backed by attentive table service and an upstairs mezzanine dedicated to private gatherings. Save room for polenta chips, a glass from the curated wine list, or a slice of house tiramisu.

  • Wood-Fired Pizza & Cucina: Bakes thin, chewy bases with generous toppings in a wood-burning oven alongside traditional pastas.
  • Upstairs Event Space: A dedicated mezzanine floor accommodating group celebrations, birthdays, and private events.

  • Traditional Italian Cucina Flavours

    Suburban diners enjoy traditional Italian recipes and flavors rivaling inner-city dining precincts without traveling far.

    Authentic Italian in the suburbs. Pizza and antipasto just as good as you'll find in Carlton, or anywhere in Melbourne for that matter.

Before you head over

Practical dining advice for planning your visit and booking private events

  • Book Ahead for Peak Times

    The dining room fills up fast, so reserve a table in advance rather than risking a walk-in during peak dining hours.

  • Gluten-Free Crusts & Starters

    Diners with celiac or wheat sensitivities can request gluten-free alternatives for both pizza crusts and calamari starters.

  • Upstairs Function Acoustics

    The mezzanine level can get loud during larger gatherings, so account for lively room acoustics when organizing group celebrations.
