Williamstown — Gastrology

Williamstown's favourite pizzeria, Altro prides itself on being true to the artisan style of Italian pizza making.

The restaurant boasts traditional Neapolitan style pizzas that are baked in a wood fired brick oven at 400-420°C for about 90 seconds.

Caprese Salad - fresh tomato, buffalo mozzarella and basil

The Caprese was a stunning start to our meal. The Bufala di Parma mozzarella was feather-light and delicate but yet rich and full of flavour and was further enhanced by the flavours of the fresh basil and tomato.

Diavola - san marzano tomato, fior di latte, hot salami, olives & scarmorze

The Diavola pizza was delicious. Sat atop a thin layer of tomato sugo were generous layers of delicious Fior di latte, lashings of hot salami, olives and scarmorze. These ingredients did justice to the pizza base which was thin, light and flavoursome.

Nutella Pizza with ice-cream and strawberries

Our evening concluded on a sweet note with a Nutella Pizza. Simple but also simply beautiful, this dessert pizza was a great end to the meal.

Altro have firmly established themselves as maestros of the Williamstown pizza scene. Customers of Altro are rewarded with high quality, traditionally crafted Neapolitan wood fired pizzas packed with garden fresh ingredients. If you are in search of some of Melbourne's best pizzas, this eatery should be at the top of your list.
