The best Gluten Free pizza I’ve ever eaten! Love this place, friendly staff and they pour a mean margarita too.
Huge thanks to BAS for providing the coolest venue, greatest staff and fab food for my party last week. Staff bent over backwards to accommodate our decorations and large crowd and essentially helped make our night totally AWESOME. X
Happened upon this place by chance on a Wednesday night . Had a ball !! Great beer , wine& eats, cool decor & bonus, it was Halloween Theme Trivia Night !! Best time, lot of laughs!! Will be back very soon 👍
Such a cool place - super friendly staff, excellent range of beer on tap!
We celebrated my sisters baby shower here on the weekend in the side room.... It was absolutely amazing, pizzas were fabulous, room was perfect and the wine was delicious.... The absolute stand out though were the staff Kat and Cheese are legends!!!! We will definitely be back!!!
Just so damned good. Cant believe this is my new local. Love every single thing about it. Pizzas were great, drinks were awesome, music and vibe were killer and staff are just spot on kapow!!
Good atmosphere, good food, good coffee, good alcohol, good air con. Definitely recommend this for everyone. Has a nice family environment while maintaining the atmosphere of a bar. Great venue for drinks or dinner.
We were looking for something a bit different for our Bad Mums Club launch party and Back Alley Sally's definitely delivered. Staff were awesome, food was delicious and drinks were well received.
Thank you for allowing us to do our thang!
MDC Workshop & Events will definitely be back. X
Such a great find in a back alley. The quinoa salad and nachos were delicious but a bit sad they ran out of gluten free bases earlier that day when my friend had called in the late arvo asking if they had gluten free bases. Staff were super
Threw my fiance a surprise party in their function area last night. The service was awesome. The vibes were on point. Pizzas were amazing (especially that truffle oil mushroom one, that stuff was the shiz �)! Special shout out to Kat for making sure we were well taken care of! Will definitely be back when we're next in the area �thanks again guys
Loved it as much as I was led to believe I would!
Awesome place
Great staff
Good selection of drinks and yummy pizza
Great pizza, aircon and beer. What more could anyone need. Lovely venue and staff.

My score 4.0 stars. J and I had a quick early dinner here on Thu 5th Dec. A trendy little bar upstairs above Slice Sisters - nice seats in the cubicles and quite family friendly by the looks. We were near-by, so thought we’d try the cheap pizza deal ($6 pizzas 4-7pm Thursdays). Staff were friendly and helpful.
Drinks: We had 2 that were on tap: White Rabbit Dark Ale – Very enjoyable. Pipsqueak apple cider – Chosen because it was the driest one available, ok (not overly complex).
Pizza: Posh slice – Pumpkin, cherry tomato and Goat’s cheese et al. Very good, pumpkin not too sweet and cheese and tomato counter-balanced it well. Would have again.
Forever mushroom – Mushies, caramelised onion and truffle oil et al. Thought this would be my fav and although it was good, for some reason it was a bit sweet (which detracted IMO).
Some kind of superstar – Roasted spud and onion, feta et al. Thought this would be my least fav, but it was very good too. Both spud and cheese not dry (as it can often be) and it wasn’t stodgy either (as spud pizzas can be). A good example and tasty! Would have again.
A good first time experience and definitely going to do this again on a Thursday (when we’re not in a rush) – lots of choice and once you find your sweet spot on the menu, you’ll get a very good pizza at a bargain price...
I really like this place. It is a cool vibe where you can go for a drink with your friends and eat a killer pizza. I ordered the new Bumper to Bumper vegan pizza and it definitely hit the spot. Thin crust and generous ingredients. On Thursday’s all pizza’s are $6 from 4pm-7pm, who couldn’t love that!
Back Alley Sally's is a great place for a drink or two, a cocktail a gathering of friends and some nibbles to top it all off.
We hung out on a Sunday afternoon with a few friends here, the service was great. The cocktails were mixed well and were flowing freely.
We had a few pizza during our Sunday session which made this visit all the better.
If you're looking for a place for a chilled out Sunday Session with your besties, this place is a worthy look in. Especially if you don't want to trek into the city.
Stumbled upon this bar by coincidence.
Great mismatch fitout, friendly service, and the pizzas were good.
The drink's prices are not the cheapest around, but worth for the experience.
We arrived to this neck of the wood much earlier than our planned dinner elsewhere and it was a terrible miserable cold night so fortunately stumbled on Back Alley Sally’s as we tried to escape the rain. The first thing we noticed as we walked past was the sounds of people enjoying themselves. Inside the styling is rustic, almost Brunswick Street of old and I loved it. We walked up the stairs into a very cool space and perused the drinks menu discovering an interesting sounding haymans sloe gin which we had to try. We sat down and people watched for a bit and then got chatting to the go owners brother who was sitting beside us. He gave us a great rundown of the history of the place while we moved onto the Rosé (on tap)
They serve pizzas from the kitchens downstairs and on all accounts the pizza menu is extensive and looked delicious but we never actually got to try so will have to come back and sample another time.
Definitely recommend and wish it was my local.
If you like urban cool meets non authentic pizzas that still taste like heaven, then this is your place.
Don’t be put off by the hipsters, the pizza menu is a vegetarians best friend. 20 minutes later and I was still trying to decide amongst the many offerings. Went with the veg taco pizza, cos go hard or go home. If you’re into some gorge level food, then order this bad boy. Ain’t nothing wrong with pigging out. And yeh, I ate the whole thing. Honestly though, tasty as fuck.
Cocktail jugs ... not a fan. Tasted a little watered down. Then again, maybe the food baby is what caused the lack of tipsy.
I liked the place funky vibe .. good pizzas excellent bases. Had the cheeseburger pizza which we both loved , and a more original one and the drinks menu was good too also the little corner shop underneath we bought the best pasta in there
delicious rectangular pizzas, great serving sizes for drinking groups! do love the relaxed atmosphere and friendliness of staff! Would suggest better organization behind the bars as both times I've visited they ran out of lychees and mint...hence the lychee cocktail and mojito was out of the question, would return
Nice local spot for a good beer and pizza catch up... would be nice to have a live music which I m see it will happen soon enough with more n more apartments coming up
Stopped into Back Alley Sally for a pre-dinner drink. It is a great bar lots of good seating & atmosphere.
I will absolutely have to go back to try the pizzas they looked amazing & the husband was raving about them.
Super cool bar hidden in a back alley (hence the name) really nice staff and pretty good pizzas and beers on tap. Have been here twice and on both occasions have not been many others there. In saying that I wasn’t there during peak period
amazing! staff lovely, food amazing and well priced. great music and atmosphere. went with a group and were well looked after. will definitely be back.
My fav place for a beer in footscray. Good drinks List and cool staff. The food is hit and miss but this place has the best vibe in footscray.
Back Alley Sally’s features many of the trademarks of owner Jerome Borazio’s other ventures, Sister Bella, Ponyfish Island, 1000 Pound Bend, and of course Melbourne lane way O.G. St Jerome’s.
Hip Footscray bar and pizza place. Lots of seating to choose from a be it in a booth or at the bar. Huge range of drinks to choose from and spice girls themed pizza. Forever mushroom is quite tasty and so is the zigazigaaa. Trendy young crowd though I'm sure others will say it's gentrification at it's worst! Nevertheless I had a great time here and will come back.
Hard to review a place like Back Alley Sally's, it's a hipster bar with pizza, but also very family friendly, it felt like I was in a Fitzroy Bar, but then saw a bunch of prams, which is just...different. Anyway, Pizzas were OK and most importantly the beer selection was extensive. Had a great time overall, biggest let down was the fact that this establishment closes early.
Called in mid afternoon on a Sunday for pizza & beers. Shared The Cray Cray and a Garlic Pizza. These are some seriously tasty pizzas! The beer selection on tap is also impressive. Will be bringing a group back for a proper Sunday session. Good space for a birthday gathering or small Christmas party.
Have been here twice now, first at night, then during the day. I love that there is a space like this in Footscray, a bar that is not a pub, that taps into the desire for a larger space where you can be more anonymous, another voice in a larger crowd. It is an easy place to relax in. Both times I have had pizza from downstairs (Slice Girls West), and been pleased with my decision. For me, this is a great space for a casual catch up with friends. No outdoor area yet, but if/when that happens, this will be perfect.
Nestled away at one end of Footscray this place is just what the area needs. Somewhere to settle in, score some toasties or honest Pizza from Slice Girls and some ripping local beers on tap. Gets a good mixed demographic too so it's a welcome spot for many occasions. Look forward to seeing how they evolve this space over the years to come. Get down there and support it for sure.
'Hidden little gem, for pizza and beer'
Had a chance to have dinner here last week. Heard great things about the place so had to try the pizzas and hot dogs.
Scratch that *hot dogs no longer on menu*.
So the pizza (menu with spice girls references); Viva forever.
Hella good.
Garlic Pizza: Hella good
Definitely have to try the other flavours!!!
I also tried the Saganaki burger. Different texture as cheese filling instead of meat. Tasty substitute but best had with other foods.
Then we downed it with a beverage.
*Local and imported beers at BAS.*
Nice hang out upstairs if your into watching bands etc. Really nice staff, even told us about the puppy outside :). However, closes a little early as possibly residential zone.
Best parking around the corner, with a short walk.
Pizzas were the cat's pyjamas (Slice Girls West providing from downstairs), the beer selection was a good mix of local and interstate craft beers, and the vibe was just right. Service with a smile. Wish it was just round the corner!
Such an awesome lil treat you are to the westies. The twelve of us had the best time at our friend's birthday last night. Absolutely love the extensive drink selections, we also couldn't fault their food menu. We were served by the friendliest and most knowledgable guy behind the bar, Jack. We said yes to literally every single recommendation he made and no regret. Ziga Zigah with extra chorizo? Yes! Saganaki Burger with an extra veggie pattie? Yes! Cheaper, tastier Brunswick made pilsner? YES! Coconut flavoured gin with cloudy apple juice? YES YES YES. A great addition to our locals, too bad the night ended a little too soon with the 10pm closing time. I hope your request for longer trading hours gets approved soon!
Love this place. The service is fantastic and love the atmosphere too. And I love that there's a bar in a laneway near my place! Upstairs from pizza shop Slice Sisters so you can get a good feed. We sat by the fire last night too.
Clean cool grunge.
Welcome addition to the footscray bar scene. it's already pack to the brim after work.
Pleasantly surprised with this new bar! It was a little hard to find, but all you have to do is follow the music. The pizza was fantastic. I had the forever mushroom. Drinks specials were diverse. The brick interior was rustic and perfect for a relaxing night out. Service from the bar was exceptional. I highly recommend a visit.
I’m sure this place goes off in the noon! Came for lunch and had a few pizzas and tacos. Found the food ok but really enjoyed the hot diggity dog pizza. This one def gave a spicy kick and was overall delicious. Had a few drinks as well.
Overall Add the hot diggity dog pizza 🔥
Typical of back alley bars in Footscray. Parma night is great value at $10 for a good size chicken parma (lots of varieties of parma to choose from, including a low gluten option). Quite busy and booking ahead is definitely a must. They seem to roll out the parmas quite quickly despite the large numbers.
Excellent friendly service at Harry & Larrys General Store. Great pizza from Slice Girls West & best ever take home ready made cocktails from Side Alley Sallys. 3 great places in one. Nachos is yum too.😁😍
Great little upstairs bar/restaurant in ... a back alley!
A super casual, friendly and warm atmosphere, cool music, excellent pizzas ($8 on Tuesdays!) and a great selection of beers on tap.
Great vibe on a Saturday night, easy to get to - plenty of street parking nearby.
Food and drinks service was great.
Awesome place for an event. A few different spaces to choose from.
Liked it a lot. Wine on tap! And a good selection of beers and other beverages. Converted Industrial space with a great vibe, music and good seating. Can order food (mostly pizza from downstairs - which were okay) but for a place to go for a chillaxed time. Check it out. It's getting popular especially on the weekends.
One of my fave footscray bars. Good selection of drinks, decent prices too. Jugs good value. Pizza from slice girls downstairs is amazing. Would recommend the nacho pizza and the cheeseburger pizza.
Nice vibe and ambiance, the booths are lovely for a date night. Staff are super friendly.
