Overall Impression: 7/10

Remo Nicolini (from +39 Pizzera) has done it again with Non Solo Pasta - one of Docklands most popular pizzerias.

Every pizza is well-made with classic, tried and true flavour combinations that are very much in the style of Remo's other pizza-serving establishments.

11 Inch Pizza

CBD Location: 5B, 353–359 Little Collins Street, Melbourne

Cuisine: Italian, Pizza

Overall Impression: 8/10

The pizzas at 11 Inch are as good as you can get in Melbourne. We were very excited to find that they had opened a new Docklands location and also pleased to report that the pizzas there are JUST AS GOOD.

The delicately thin crusts have the perfect balance between crispiness and chewiness and the expertly judged toppings are always impeccable. The bases are never soggy – something which unfortunately cannot be said for many of the other gourmet pizzerias around Melbourne.

And they do a good coffee too!

If you love pizzas, you’ll love 11 Inch!

Cuisine: Pizza, European
Overall Impresion: 7/10

Firechief serves up consistently good pizzas with generous toppings.

The service was great - we were seated promptly by friendly staff. The only downside is the wait for food to be served.

All in all, a good neighbourhood pizza joint that is certainly worth a visit.

Overall Impression: 8/10

It's tough getting a table at Pizza Religion but when you do, boy is it worth it. That said, there is always the takeaway option that J and I tend to take. The pizzas are all beautifully thin crusted and each has expertly judged toppings - DELICIOUS.

Pizza E Birra

Location: 60a Fitzroy Street, St Kilda

Phone: 03 9537 3465

Cuisine: Italian, Pizza

Overall Impression: 7/10

A pizza place with a bustling vibe, Pizza E Birra is a fun St Kilda restaurant that delivers on service and ambiance and yes, the pizzas are good too.

We love their Tuesdays and Wednesdays BYO night where you can bring along your favourite bottle of wine which is a brilliant money saving offer.

The pizzas served are of a reasonably good standard and well-priced and they do a great range of Italian desserts to cap off your night.

Pizza Espresso by Nicolini

Location: 17 Macedon Road, Doncaster, VIC

Cuisine: Italian, Pizza

Overall Impression: 8/10

Pizza Espresso is one of my favourite suburban Italian pizzerias of all time. The perfect place to share a beautifully crafted and delicious wood-fired oven pizza with family and friends over some vino rosso, this pizzeria is what good Italian pizzas are all about.

We love their use of fresh ingredients, great service and also enjoyable desserts. It is no wonder they are one of Australia's most critically acclaimed and awarded Pizza Restaurant.
