About Zia's Restaurant (Now trading as Merryland Pizzeria)

Hawthorn regulars know Zia's as a warm, decades-old staple for comforting Italian classics and Friday night takeaway. Spread across two distinct dining rooms with quirky decor, the kitchen turns out thin-crust pies like the Tuscany—layered with camembert, zucchini, bacon, and fresh tomato—alongside hearty lasagne and folded calzone. Thursdays bring a genuine insider twist: chef Eddie steps away from the pizza oven to cook a dedicated weekly menu celebrating his Lebanese roots, making midweek the clever time to pull up a chair.

  • Thursday Lebanese Nights: Chef Eddie steps away from the Italian menu on Thursdays to serve a dedicated Lebanese dinner spread.
  • Two Dining Rooms: A spacious two-room layout offers plenty of seating for relaxed family dinners and group meals.
