For someone who “doesn’t really eat pizza”, I sure do find myself at Terranova a lot! The pizzas are traditional and delicious, with a real wood fire taste that you can smell before you even walk in the door; the desserts are moorish and the owners have a way of making you feel welcome and at home.

Terranova is worth checking out... I’ve been going down the whole menu but can’t decide which is my favourite, they’re all so good. If you enjoy a true Italian style pizza, this local gem definitely never disappoints!

Went here last night my my nonna and zia jo haven’t been for years! They never disappoint, they are always so welcoming and friendly and provide great service. Their pizza is amazing and I couldn’t fault it one bit. Almost forgot to take a pic as I was extremely hungry but this potato pizza was sensational!! I usually don’t like potato pizza but this was a winner. Can’t wait to go back :)

When you get a little bit over the “ napolitano ” style pizzas and you just really feel like a good pizza- that doesn’t go thin in the middle and have mountains of crust on the ends , then terranova is for you.
I think when we go here , we are just happy to pay a good price for a pizza and feel like we haven’t been ripped off of ingredients .
The gluten free base is made on site and tastes great , and actually feels like your having a pizza and not like some of the other crap gf pizzas around.

Always go there. The very very best Pizza. I especially love this time of year as the Nduja Pizza is on for the next 3 months. The Sausage is home made and is the paprika. Get in quick supplies only last for 3 months.

Best pizza in Melbourne !! I come here twice a week it’s amazing !! And the tiramisu for desert is to die for the pizza is made in a traditional wood fire pizza oven and gives you the true taste of what pizza should taste like with traditional Italian toppings ! Nothing like this place I absolutely love it ❤️

My favourite pizza joint in Melbourne! The pizza are cooked perfectly. The base isn't floppy at all. In fact you could balance a piece on your knife without it falling off. My favourite is the Mia Commare with the gorgonzola and bocconcini cheese. Run by a friendly family that are VERY serious about making the best pizza in Melbourne. Don't do delivery but it's worth the trip.

Terranova is great choice for a good quality wood fired pizza. They are open late during the week and it has a lovely ambiance. Traditional Italian pizzas.

I've been going to Terranova for the past 4-5 years. The day I got my license was the day I realised I could finally go on my own whenever I wanted and satisfy my pizza cravings.

The pizzas are thin base and the toppings not excessive but exceptional. My favourite pizza is the capricciosa with no caramelized onion although tonight I ordered the mia commare and added rocket for a bit of freshness. Suffice it to say, as a regular, the service was spectacular as usual and even though there was a bit function in the back room, their brisk service meant I didn't wait long. However I was asked and given a drink within a minute of arriving and after ordering.

The pizza costs more than your average place but the quality is next level. I often come simply by myself, place an order over the phone for "the usual" and am instantly recognised by the owners. They speak plainly but respectfully and eptomise an Italian pizza restaurant. Everytime, warm conversation about anything and everything is offered and continued should I engage in it. They're just downright friendly.

My only drawback about Terranova is that I would love to see something like gnocchi although they do have other specials now and again. Beats almost every pizza place on lygon and after travelling to Italia and coming back, I realised I still preferred Terranova.

Next time I come, I'll be sure to take a photo of the pizza. I ate it too quickly and forgot to take the photo :)

This place is small, cosy, simple and sticks to Italian traditions.

The pizza base is thin and cooked perfectly. That beautiful wood fire taste comes through nicely.

We had a range of pizzas (5-7) and I must stay each were delicious. Each slice was packed with flavour.

If you are the type that likes a lot of topping this place isn't for you. I like that they don't over do it as its the traditional way where if you get the flavour combo right, you don't need all that topping....which they do.

Probably the best pizza north of Carlton/Brunswick East. However I have a love - hate relationship with this place, and it has nothing to do with the quality of food. You just don't know what you'll get from the service/waitress (the older lady). Her behavior is almost bi-polar, it's bizarre... Nevertheless the amazing pizzas make up for it. Although you may be surprised at the size of the bill at nights end.

We are regulars and the pizzas here are great! Prices for genuine wood-fired seem reasonable to us. Many of the pizzas are unique to Terranova. Best pizza place around. The staff are warm and friendly. If you come here simply for great pizza you will not be disappointed.

Went there the other night with a group of friends, as we walked in the aromas of this place was amazing, they have a wide selection of pizzas and antipasto. Started of with the clay pots with prawns, and I can tell you these guys are really authentic, our taste buds were going crazy. We ordered our pizzas, were amazing well be back!! For what you get it's ,a one quality and these guys are cheap for wood fired pizzas, go to other places they are more expensive than these guys, and cooking in gas..
I rate this place number 1.

Never had such a Eggplant Pizza Ever!!. It’s a cool place to be in with your with friends or family. No doubt staffs are friendly and you feel welcomed every time and homely too. Well, if you love eating real good quality and tasty pizzas then you are at right place. Menu is good. And as we are vegetarians we always go for vegetarian options only. I love Eggplant pizza here they make it so well that I have never eaten before in my life!!! This is my favourite place. We prefer coming here to eat pizzas rather going to Lygon street to eat.

Pizza = yum. Had dinner here not long ago and the pizzas were great. They had a thin crust and the perfect balance of toppings. To end the night we had dessert, the gelati was sweet and delicious. The pannacotta was creamy and better than any others I have tried. Oh and to top it off - friendly and speedy service. I will definitely be returning!

With several local pizza options in the area the quality ingredients makes this place pretty exceptional but obviously pricier. The calabrese is fantastic with a perfect base and drizzled oil. Garlic foccacia is light and savoury.
bustling place, good atmosphere.

Minimalist pizza at it's best. We came in late and had a prawn and spinach pizza to share. The crust style was thin and in terms of toppings Terranove has a minimalist style. However it's quality and not quantity that counts and so the pizza was delicious. Cheese was high quality and the crust was perfect.

I think they only do pizzas and desserts here but they do it very well. Staff were very friendly and it appears to be a family run and owned business. Highly recommended.

Yummy pizzas and friendly staff who were very welcoming of my children (a 4 year old and a 1 year old). A high chair was provided and extra plates so we could share food - give small samples to the kids. However the set-up is not particularly kid-friendly - no toys or playspace and not sure if there is a change table (as we didn't need to change any nappies whilst there). Also being on a main road means that with small kids, it is safest to be seated eat indoors so they can't jump up and run out on the road. But none of this mattered as my kids happily sat at the table and ate until we were ready to leave.

The pizzas are really, really good. Although they are a bit pricey - all are 'large' size and priced at around $17 each. The dessert range is limited to a few classic Italian desserts (gelati, tiramisu, chocolate mousse or a dessert pizza) but this was sufficient choice after a big pizza meal.
