The Best Pizza Places In Brisbane Australia

Pizza is taken very seriously in Brisbane with restaurateurs and customers alike expecting flair and pizazz in even the humblest slice of pepperoni. With pizza parlours demonstrating ever more quirk and mastery of flavours in their choice of toppings, base and crust, the time is right to explore the best spots for this great staple around the city.

1. The Burrow

The Burrow

The Burrow is not one for sedate margherita pizzas. By day, the restaurant is an unassuming café doling out flat whites, but after dark the gourmet rustic pizzas emerge from the oven. The Burrow’s pizzas are pita-crusted for a more delicate crispiness, however, there is nothing as subtle about the flavors and toppings available.

2. Beccofino

Beccofino

The don of Brisbane pizzerias, Beccofino often tops lists of the best Italian joints in the city. The menu comprises a smorgasbord of thin-crusted, crispy pizzas split into two categories of base: rosse (tomato base) and bianche (white or cheese base).

3. Tinderbox Kitchen

Tinderbox Kitchen

Tinderbox’s forte has a zany, mad-scientist approach towards cheeses and eye-catching toppings, as demonstrated on the extensive menu. Locals are often seen queuing around the block for a taste of McMillan’s wood-fired pizzas, made with organic flour imported from Moree in New South Wales.

7/31 James St, Fortitude Valley, QLD, Australia, +61 7 3852 3744

5. Il Forno

Il Forno

Il Forno is tucked away on a leafy Sandgate street, quietly churning out impressive wood-fired pizzas. Under the awning of an old colonial style shop-front, patrons dine streetside, being served house specialities like the Moroccan Beef with tomato, beef, mozzarella, fire-roasted onions, feta, red peppers and fresh rocket. It is undoubtedly the signature L’Anatra, featuring hoisin sauce, shredded duck, spring onion and cucumber, that keeps drawing the local crowd.

6. Tartufo Pizzeria

Restaurant, Pizzeria, Italian, Fast Food

The fine-dining establishment Tartufo, located within the Emporium Hotel and seen by some as Brisbane’s best Italian restaurant, has opened its doors to casual diners, and the result is equally garland-worthy. Tartufo’s technique is to use minimal ingredients and firing each pizza at 450 degrees. The crowd pleaser is the eponymous Tartufo pizza, shaped as a star, and whose calzone pockets hide seams of sausage and truffle paste before finally being drizzled with porcini mushroom oil.
