Melbourne's Best Pizza

Dean Martin sang it best - “When the moon hits your eye like a big-a pizza pie, that’s amore” - and love it is, especially if the pizza is great. And these days, that’s not hard to find.

This incredibly popular, but simple meal is no longer just a convenient takeaway. Even the ritziest of restaurants now have them on the menu and pizza ovens are springing up in backyards everywhere.

Despite the proliferation of makers and tastes, any good pizza starts with a great base, or crust, whether you like it thin and crispy or the thicker style of the pan pizza. Even if you don’t have the technique to toss the dough Italian style, it should still be well risen and well turned.

The simple original tomato, mozzarella and basil pizza topping, a combination that is still is an enduring favourite, has been eclipsed with choices ranging from ham, sausage, olives, anchovies, mushrooms and chilli to smoked salmon or satay chicken.

But, no matter what your preference, like any good meal when it comes to ingredients to get the best out of your pizza, fresh is best.

Cooking pizzas can be an art in itself. It can be done in an electric oven, but nothing really beats the crispy crust and beautifully blended flavours achieved in a wood-fired oven that, together with a good red, give you the perfect meal.

+39 Pizzeria & Degustation

362 Little Bourke Street, Melbourne

-37.8134668224486 144.961866438389

Named Epicure's best pizzeria of last year, +39 certainly comes with a pedigree, and for once it's probably well deserved. Though there are certainly contenders to this throne, what they do here in this dinky little palazzo is somewhat superb. Handily located right in the heart of the city, genuine Italian waiters serve up stunning creations like the Aragosta with lobster and black caviar or the Wagyu with marbled Bresaola, cream of artichokes and Fior di Latte. It's heaven on a thin and crispy base, and the cheese and cured meat degustation selection's eccelente too.
