The Best Pizza Near Marchesa, by the Record
-
Rank 1. SHOP225
Neapolitan Pizza
A wood-fired oven anchors this cozy Neapolitan pizzeria tucked into a quiet residential pocket well clear of Melbourne's centre, where the streets are low and leafy and the pace is considerably calmer. The pasta pulls as much weight as the pizza here, a combination rare enough that 50 Top Pizza handed it a Best Pasta Proposal award, alongside a ranking of 28th in the world. The kitchen imports Italian ingredients seriously and handles dietary needs without making a fuss about it.

Rank 2. Il Caminetto
Italian Pizza
The wood-fired oven greets you at the door, which sets the tone for this Italian restaurant in Moonee Ponds where the menu runs from pizza through pasta to proper secondi. The kitchen leans on imported Italian staples and takes the full spread seriously, pizza and antipasti alongside handmade pasta. It ranked 29th on the 50 Top Pizza Asia-Pacific list. A children's menu and genuine attention to dietary needs make it one of the more relaxed neighbourhood options around.
