This place honestly had some of the best pizza I’ve ever had. My family ordered the bbq chicken and ricotta and both were absolutely delicious.
The pizzas came out fresh and steaming hot - perfect for the cold weather that we were experiencing. Being from the US, the pizza I’ve typically experienced is heavy and oily. However, these pizzas were well balanced I was able to taste each of the individual ingredients that was on top of the pizza, something that I don’t always experience from pizza chains that pile on their toppings. It also didn’t leave me feeling uncomfortably full despite having a big meal.
The bbq chicken pizza had a lovely garlic aioli on top, lots of toppings, and just the right amount of sauce so that it didn’t end up too soggy.
The ricotta had (thankfully) lots of ricotta and was also very fresh tasting. The addition of fresh mint was also really nice.
The toppings on both pizzas were well distributed and the dough was not too thin or thick. There was also a nice amount of crust that was crispy. The size was also really good. I thought that the pizzas would be too small for a family of 4 to share (1 adult and 3 kids), but we all had more than enough and probably could have even brought some home.
Service was nice and friendly and they had great music playing. The restaurant itself is a little small, but the location is perfect. If you’re a tourist staying in the CBD, check this place out. It’s within the free tram zone and close by the...
Read moreAbsolutely blown away by our experience at 11 Inch Pizza in Melbourne! We ordered the Salami Pizza and the Bolognese Pasta, and both dishes were nothing short of exceptional.
The Salami Pizza was a perfect balance of crispy, thin crust and rich, flavorful toppings. The salami had just the right amount of spice, beautifully complemented by creamy mozzarella and a vibrant tomato base that clearly tasted of freshly crushed tomatoes. One standout element was the olives – briny, plump, and bursting with flavor. They added an incredible depth and contrast, elevating every bite with their rich, earthy tang. It was a delicious explosion of flavors – salty, tangy, smoky, and savory all at once.
The Bolognese Pasta was equally impressive. You could tell the sauce had been slow-cooked with care – hearty, rich, and layered with depth. The minced meat was tender and juicy, with hints of fresh herbs and garlic shining through. Paired with perfectly al dente penne, it was comfort food elevated to gourmet status.
What stood out the most was the freshness of the ingredients. From the herbs to the cheese to the sauces, everything tasted vibrant and of top-notch quality. It's rare to find a place where simplicity and quality come together so seamlessly.
Highly recommend this hidden gem for anyone looking to enjoy authentic, flavor-packed Italian food in the heart of Melbourne. We’ll definitely be back! Thank you for the...
Read moreAfter walking approx 25k steps around Melbourne on a Sunday, we needed carbs, stat, and 11 Inch Pizza delivered (literally and figuratively). We’d been eyeing this spot for a while and finally stopped in as walk-ins. Despite being busy, we were seated quickly and welcomed warmly.
We kicked things off with a glass of Prosecco to whet the appetite, then shared the Capricciosa pizza and Penne Ragu. The pizza crust was thin, crispy, and held up beautifully, great chew and structure. Toppings were fresh and flavourful, with the smoked ham adding a delicious twist. The penne ragu was equally impressive albeit on the sweeter side, tender beef, a well-balanced sauce, and the perfect consistency. Bonus points for letting us scoop up the remaining sauce with our crust. No sauce left behind!
Service was attentive, the vibe was relaxed, and hearing Don’t Stop Believin’ by Journey play in the background just sealed the deal. Great food, great energy, we’ll definitely be back.
Have to give it a 4.5 star for a...
