D.O.C is well known for their pizzas, sourcing many of their ingredients from Italy to create simple but good quality versions of it.

($20.90)[/caption] [caption id="attachment_6159" align="aligncenter" width="600"] Pizza Speck ($22.50)[/caption] The pizzas I tried that night were the Pizza D.O.C (San Marzano Tomato, Fresh DOP Buffalo Mozzarella, Fresh Basil) and Pizza Speck - (Smoked Prosciutto, Fontina, Wild Mushroom & Thyme). The pizza base was definitely one of the better ones I've had and I really appreciated the simplicity of the toppings and how enjoyable...

I came here just to try out some of their desserts and the one I picked was the tiramisu. While the flavours were generally good, I did think it was a bit mushy and starting to become a bit runny.

During its 10th anniversary, owners Luis Pampliega and Tamara Volkoff decided to give the Southgate stalwart Tutto Bene a sibling named Artusi.

After undertaking a AVPN-certified course and work experience in Naples, Dan and Elice have brought their skills back to Melbourne to serve us authentic pizza Napoletana. The site previously housed Pizza Piazza, but after running it for a few months, they've transformed it into MELT in order to capture the market for good quality pizza at not-too-lofty prices.
