Best Pizza in Melbourne

Melbourne's pizza scene benefits from the city's deep Italian-Australian heritage and a cohort of passionate pizzaiolos who have refined their craft across multiple generations. Carlton's Italian tradition has produced pizza restaurants that have operated for 50+ years, while a new wave of wood-fired, sourdough-based Neapolitan pizza has emerged in the inner suburbs with international quality benchmarks.

400 Gradi in Brunswick — operated by Johnny Di Francesco, who won the World Pizza Championship in 2014 — is Melbourne's most celebrated. Supermaxi in Fitzroy has built a cult following for its contemporary take on wood-fired pizza. Harley's Pizza in Kensington serves what many Melburnians consider the city's finest Neapolitan. And the Roman al taglio format has also gained a significant following in the CBD and inner north.
