Pizza Works — Restaurant in Melbourne

AITA for asking Pizza Works for a liver pizza to treat my raging scabies, getting handed raw garlic + spit instead, and then liking it way too much but pretending I wasn’t because my 12yo group leader forbade it?

So I (34M) went out with my friends (14M and 12M — the 12yo is the “group leader,” don’t ask, it’s complicated). We were starving and I specifically needed to eat liver and raw chicken hearts because apparently that helps with my raging scabies (don’t Google it, it’s bad).

So I called up this local spot called Pizza Works and asked, “Do you do liver?” The guy thought I said “deliver.” He just kept going “Yes, we deliver.” I kept going “No, I need liver.” It was like a bad comedy sketch.

When we got there, things derailed even harder. Instead of a pizza, they handed me a sack of raw garlic bulbs. Whole, unpeeled, just thunked into my hands like they’d ripped them straight out of Dracula’s pantry. And then — one of the staff just walked up and spat on me.

Now, I know this sounds insane, but something inside me… shifted. Between the garlic stench, my untreated scabies flare-up, and the sheer dominance of being spat on, I actually felt kind of… aroused. Like I had unlocked some hidden Pizza Works ritual. Garlic + saliva + shame = enlightenment??

But then my group leader (12M) shook his head and said, “That’s disrespectful. You can’t like this.” And I just folded instantly. Because if the leader doesn’t like it, none of us are allowed to like it. So I had to play it cool, wipe the spit, and pretend I wasn’t thriving.

Meanwhile, my scabies are screaming for liver and chicken hearts, and all I have is garlic spit.

So people, AITA for secretly enjoying the garlic + spit treatment at Pizza Works while also failing my scabies diet because my group leader disapproved? also the pizza was pretty mid. its in photos what we got. loved the spit though FIVE STARS! thanks for...

I love this place so much!!! I am a mother of 15.2 disabled children this place was so accessible and disabled-friendly. Not only was the helicopter parking great but the ramp was great since 7.5 of my kids are in wheel chairs. The swimming pool was great but there was a lot of brown logs in there, must have been garlic bread. I saw a worker pick a log up, put in the oven and he served it as garlic bread to a blind customer. My son in the photo is addicted to Mario so he was happy in his own way to receive a authentic "mario" pizza. One bad thing was that the toilet was overflowing with 'marinara sauce' my 11th oldest disabled son really had to go but he had an accident instead. The atmosphere was great if think my sons liked it, it was kind of cold because one of the workers left the gelato fridge open and kept breathing on us. One of the workers pants fell down and he wasn't wearing underwear, my disabled daughter got a shock and began screaming the Mario theme. The highlight was when my y linked recessive son who was born in an egg saw mario walk into the pizza he was so happy he ran into the basement where he was traumatised. What was disappointing was that the chocolate mousse wasn't chocolate mousse i saw one of the workers producing it. My Oldest daughter loved the water slide and found it really run even though the water was black. Pizza was definitely not itlian and rather Chinese. When i opened the box the pizza said Ni-hao woof. THe pizza tought me how to speak fleunt chinese now i know how to write two full sentences in chinese! One of the workers was chinese and i had trouble communicating with him but after i learnt chinese...

My name is Justin Bucksmith i am from southern Perth WA. I am using my brothers account to share with the world how good this pizza place is!! I can't use my current google account because it's banned (it's all Alex Hokmaster's fault, don't ask it's complicated). As soon as I tasted the pizza I knew it was Italian pizza, please stick to what you make Italians because it's great!! The service was great I saw a disabled child (there was a lot of them there) have an accident but the staff cleaned it very well and used the produce for a pizza, how organic and healthy!! The workers also helped my relative Samuel smith who nearly had a heart attack by providing a neck fan which helped him cool down and the heart attack pass. The atmosphere was great it's like I was transported to Italy. The highlight of my experience was when an authentic Italian plumber walked in and preformed a song on the harmonica and taught us some plumbing tips. There was also a great selection of pizza, They catered to my brother's raging scurvy by providing a citrus-broccoli pizza. Although the water was brown they were also providing free showers and free deodorant in the basement which was really kind and wholesome. Thank for this amazing place, I will definitely come...
