Warburton Village Pizza Cafe — Restaurant in Melbourne

This review might be a bit odd. Because I find the dollar to performance really good, despite some of dishes not being top-tier.

We got the family deal ($30), which came with a large pizza (we got margarita), a salad, and some wedges with sweet chili and sour cream dipping sauces.

Split between 2 people, it ends up being $15. But we had enough food for potentially 3 people (2 semi hungry people, a 1 not-so-hungry person). And so the deal could potentially be even better.

The pizza was not bad. It was straight cheese, sauce and pizza base. Good crisp, OK flavour, but the sauce was a little bit tangy which I wasn't a huge fan of. But otherwise, decent.

The wedges were nice. Relatively crisp, good thickness. And they paired wonderfully with the dipping sauce.

The salad impressed me, it was a lettuce salad, a salad I normally despise. But it had coriander and black/green olives, and so it ended up being decently tasty. And the lettuce seemed fresh.

I couldn't find anything to rave about, but for the price, I don't think I need to. You have to keep in mind, some places charge $30 alone for a large pizza -- sometimes more. And so if you coming here by yourself, the price is still pretty reasonable.

Not bad Village...

We visited Warburton Village Pizza Cafe right after the peak lunch time and found it quiet. We found a comfy place for our party and it took no time between ordering and receiving our meals.

We ordered the vegan lentil soup, a vegetarian Mediterranean pizza, a meat lovers, a chicken pizza and chips.

All pizzas were delicious enough for a 150km round trip back to Warburton.

The Mediterranean pizza had a good topping of artichokes, olives, onions, zucchini, pepper, mushrooms, feta cheese and good knows what else. It was yum!

The chicken and the meat lover pizzas were loaded with taste. They were soft enough to melt in the mouth.

Lentil soup was low in salt, and I think it was the right thing because more salt is increasing everyone's blood pressures. I'll take another serving of this soup on any cold day like today.

The only disappointment were the chips. They seemed a bit bland, and as if they were frozen ones. Not a big deal though!

Coffees were okay. They were there to complement the pizzas.

They also have the local products such as honeycomb, pickles, oils etc for sale. We bought some of those and I can't stop eating this real honeycomb.

Overall, a nice restaurant, nice people and a good place...

I agree with those reviews saying it is the worst pizza they've ever had. My partner's pizza looked ok when it was served but it wasn't even hot and the lady who took our order, was told three times to add prawns, it came without prawns. I ordered the puttanesca pizza from the vegetarian options, but got a Mexican pizza. Again, I repeated SEVERAL times to confirm she understood me, given she could barely speak a word of English. The Anglo guy there who was doing nothing but making dough balls could've come over to make sure she got it right. Eventually my 'puttanesca' pizza came out; it was just cheese slop, terribly undercooked and missing several key ingredients that were supposed to be on it. When I tried to pick up a piece, it was like a waterfall of cheese, dragging the cheap ingredients off the pizza and into the box. But that's not all; we also ordered coffees and asked for extra shots. What we got were two pathetically weak and lukewarm coffees. GET SOMEONE TO TAKE ORDERS WHO CAN SPEAK AND UNDERSTAND SIMPLE ENGLISH!!! GET SOMEONE WHO KNOWS HOW TO MAKE SOMETHING AS SIMPLE AS A PIZZA!!! How on earth does this joint have a 4.7 star rating?! $56, a gut ache and an hour of our lives we've...
