Thin-crust, explained

If you searched for thin-crust pizza in Melbourne, this is the style we make. It is not the puffy, charred-edge Neapolitan: the base is thinner and crisper, and it is meant to carry a few very good toppings rather than a heavy load.

What to order

• Patatina: mozzarella, roasted potatoes, Italian sausage, Parmesan and rosemary olive oil.
• Miss Buffalo: buffalo mozzarella, pesto, cherry tomatoes, basil, olive oil and shaved Parmesan.
• Nutella Bite: warm pizza dough filled with Nutella.

Half the menu is vegetarian. Tell us about allergies or dietary requirements when you book or order, or call (03) 9417 7880 before you come in. See the full menu, or read what Puglia-style pizza is.
