Teo's Pizza & Bar - Highett — Restaurant in Melbourne

I came across this gem on Instagram and their promos are the reason I decided to visit. I hadn’t even seen any photos of the food! We headed in for dinner on a public holiday and there was already a couple other people waiting at the door for opening! We were warmly greeted and seated. We had one of the owners attend to us and he was pleasant, attentive and openly welcomed kids.

He immediately offered colouring to the kids, water for the table and plastic cups for the kids. We ordered the kid’s pineapple pizza with vegan cheese and two pizzas to share; Pepperoni and Matteo’s (with burrata cheese, cherry tomatoes, san Daniele proscuitto, parmesan and rocket). The great thing about wood fired pizza, is how quick it is to cook! Most the work is about perfecting the dough; ask any Italian pizza chef! Secondly, it’s about quality toppings and they did not disappoint.

All three pizzas arrived promptly and for a wood fired pizza, they were generous with the toppings! I tried all three pizzas and they were delicious. The pizza wasn’t heavy at all, which allowed plenty of room for a dessert pizza! We ordered their Nutella pizza, which was refreshing and moorish. It had a small amount of orange zest and was topped with raspberries and ice cream. We had an enjoyable time dining in and would...

There's nothing like soaking up those rays of sunshine (after marinating I'm sunscreen with a hat, fully covered lol) on a weekend lunch with friends. . Located just opposite Highette Station with Ripponlea feels @matteospizzaparlour features outdoor stationside dining on warmer days. Inside it's warm and the oven is glowing with the endless wood fire Neopolitian pizzas and even dessert pizza! . 🥓 Matteo’s ~ stracciatella cheese, cherry tomatoes, san daniele prosciutto, parmesan, rocket. The classic, if you love more cheese, less tomato sauce based pizzas with beautiful prosciutto, this is the one. . 🎃 Pumpkin (V) ~ mozzarella, sage, pinenuts, caramelised onion, almond feta. While we've had pumpkin on a pizza we've never had a pumpkin pizza before so that was exciting! And this one was just right, creamy pumpkin, sweet caramelized onions, salty tang of feta and pine nuts.

🌰 Nutella Pizza ~ orange zest, vanilla ice-cream, raspberries. My favourite pizza tonight had to be this one, sugar and carbs, true love. A crispy base with warm melted nutella spread, balanced with the cold ice cream. So good! . 🍕 @matteospizzaparlour...

Three of us came to Matteo’s Pizza Parlour in Highett on a Friday night. Firstly, I would like to say that we really appreciated that they were open – even on a Good Friday when most stores, cafes and restaurants are closed due to the public holiday. It was lovely weather and so we decided to sit outside to catch the sunset. I also want to acknowledge the exceptional customer service. Not only were the waiters and cooks at Matteo’s very friendly, but they all seemed so genuine and willing to help out wherever they could. Between the three of us, we ordered the Matteo’s pizza, prawn linguini and gnocchi for main meals, as well as the strawberry, hazelnut and salted caramel ice cream/gelato for dessert. The food was super delicious; I was very pleased with the size of the pizza and the generous amount of toppings including prosciutto (some places can be a bit stingy on the prosciutto, but I was very happy with this pizza). The only downfall for the gnocchi was that I only wished it was a bigger portion size; it was so tasty, and between the three of us it didn’t last long at all! Thank you to Matteo’s...
