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. POPOLO

Restaurant, Italian

Enjoy a slice down by the riverfront at this no-frills, classical Italian restaurant that delivers marvellous Brisbane skyline views. POPOLO at River Quay does refined yet accessible versions of the classic pizza combinations, from Quattro Formaggi to Pancetta, but isn’t afraid to be adventurous. For proof, check out the Gamberi Aglio, topped with prawns, anchovies, lemon, tomato, garlic and onion.

2. 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.
