It's the best pizza in Melbourne I recommend it to everyone great food great staff well done Gary and Vince
Best pizza in Australia, moved to Perth years ago and they claim to have the best pizza, not even close, love coming back to Melbourne and having this pizza.
Nice food. Good place to just chill, eat and drink, great Italian food:-)
Melbourne's hidden gem tucked away in Keilor. Yummy wood fired pizzas,fast friendly staff and service.
Highly recommended!!!
The pizza's were fantastic it was like being in Rome again eating a beautiful pizza.
Amazing pizza and great place to catch up with friends

The fellow that owns this shop is the best person I know to take a breath of life
A must for anyone wanting an authentic slice of Italy. The perfect place to dine in and enjoy the modern take off a classic.
Pizza is perfect and service is also super impressive.
Friendly faces and amazing fresh produce.
Amazing food! Pizza are so good don't think I've ever had a bad one.
Some of the best pizza in town, great atmosphere and well priced wines.
Good service and good food at a reasonable price 's. I will call back again soon.
Great woodfire pizza, had the L’Italiano and Mexicano. Very nice toppings and great flavours. Will defiantly come in for a family dinner once covid restrictions ease up.
We had the garlic cheese focaccia, meat lovers pizza, gnocchi Gorgonzola and affogato, it was all amazing!! There were 2 nonnas cooking in the kitchen..... very authentic. I am really impressed with this place. The staff were also really friendly and service was super fast. Can’t fault this place.
Great value pizza place if you happen to be westside.
Our pizza was great, all the ingredients tasted very fresh, and the pizza base was perfectly cooked.
Worth if you are in the area
Another week, another pizza date- this time outside the comfort of our home and out at The Village Pizzeria, a family-like establishment with friendly service, fresh pizzas and an assortment of Italian cuisine options.
Today we opted for the Lot, and some garlic bread. The garlic bread was fresh, albeit painted with garlic on one side of the bread only haha. The bread was soft, with a decent crunch, couldn't complain at all. The pizza was very fresh, with notably fresh ingredients. The pizza dough and base were very soft, a homely pizza indeed. Which... Is not my personal forte. I personally enjoy the rich, "take away" pizzas with "fake" ham and loaded toppings, whilst Emily enjoys pizzas more natural and freshly prepared as we had today. It was still a good pizza by any means and we would recommend it for those after this sort of pizza.
Good food, service and decent value overall. A nice family Italian restaurant indeed!

Value: 4/5
Overall: 3.5/5
Been here quite a few times.always order a pizza and pasta with a few drinks and it never disappoints. With options to sit inside and out and authentic Italian food, it has always been a nice place for a relaxed meal.
Ordered some take away pizza's on Saturday night. Guests and my family loved the pizza's.This place is amazing and value for money. Love it and will be back again. Thanks.
Authentic Italian food that won't break the budget, highly recommend the L'Italiana pizza or the Veal Schnitzel with the blue cheese sauce (the Kitchen is run by two little Italian nonna's so you can't get more authentic than that!)

For years we frequent this restaurant..why?..friendly service and fresh produce. Homemade style dishes with outstanding PIZZAS!...LOVE THE AMBIENCE AS WELL!
Have been going there for years. The pizzas, pastas and deserts are incredible! Owner operator always friendly and believes in looking after his customers. Must try: Nutella Pizza - Salsiccia Pizza - & The best lasagne in town!This establishment's board of fair is on point!
Had a family function at the Village Pizzeria and everyone called me the next day to tell me how amazing the food was. Pizza, pasta everything was delicious.
Thanks to Gary and staff
I love this place, I usually order pizza which is really good quality ingredients and a great wood fire base but I got the lasagne and that was on a different level. It was as if I was at a family party and my family made it. Was so fresh, had really good fresh ingredients, I enjoyed every mouthful. Was really made with love. I really love the village pizzeria definately give it a try :)
Amazing food homemade gnocci are the best not to say the woodoven pizzas are delicious but i always go there for the best dessert pear nutella calzone served with vanilla ice cream yummm definitely my favorite pizza place
Best pizzas by far friendly service love the decor i feel like im in New York food is delicious and the staff always happy to serve you 👌👌
A little gem in the valley! Great woodfire pizza and pastas! Ingredients always nice n fresh and all the staff are great. We have made it one of our regulars as we can always count on the food being of high quality and at a decent price!
Amazing food and excellent customer service. Always friendly. Definitely a favorite of ours.
Food is always fresh and flavorsome. Excellent with a great selection of food.
Great pizza and a great atmosphere .
My regular “ go too “ for wood fired pizza .
Pizza maker is great fun to watch , and the service is great .
5 stars
I love this place! Pizza is spot on and I feel like I’m in a little pocket of Italy. Especially when the place is packed it’s the best vibe!
Amazing authentic Italian , this restaurant is a go to regularly, food and service is exceptional, I highly recommend everything on the menu from the wood fired pizza to the pasta , can’t wait to see on Uber eats
The BEST pizza & pastas in Melbourne! Woodfire pizzas are to die for! Along with the freshest pasta you can get. Really feel like your in Italy. I eat regularly, and have never had a bad meal! The Staff are friendly and always go above and beyond in making your food delish & your belly full! Highly recommend The Village Pizzeria!
Top place for a good woodfire pizza! Real Italian style with great quality ingredients. It's a great place to eat at in the western suburbs.
Great food and friendly service with a variety of choices on the menu it’s always great place to enjoy a meal with family and friends. I would recommend the Village Pizzeria to everyone
Best pizzas on the west side of town!!! Love the Margherita pizza... perfect ratio of ingredients! Their chicken Parma is bloody great too. Highly recommend 😊
Ordered 5 takeaway pizzas from here last night. Was please with the quality of the ingredients and prompt service. They accidentally made a mistake on our order so we ended up getting 2 free pizzas as a bonus! One of the staff members even carried the pizzas to our car. Fantastic place. Highly recommend.
Really enjoy coming here as we don't have good dining places in the west. They do a really good job at margherita pizza and their pasta however the service can be a deal breaker. Some days I get decent service and other days I've had staff trying to ignore us. Hopefully this improves. They also need wedges and some decent sauce with their chips besides the packet ketchup.
Food was awesome so my rating is purely for the food. As for the service our meals were bought out at different times instead of together and needed to ask for tomato sauce twice. Kids meals took too long to come out and again had to ask how much longer it would be. Perhaps next time we will just get take away as the food is definitely great.
Been here twice and both times the service was great and the workers were friendly.
Their bread rolls are beautiful as was the other food we ate. Definitely recommend to others.
This was such a lovely local restaurant we ended up in for a family dinner. It wasn't expected but I was not disappointed at all. Firstly I have got to mention how friendly the staff are, all smiles, welcoming and attentive. Another thing I have got to mention as I can never help myself when I see effort being put into interior design and decorations, is the 50-60's retro themed wall! Adorned with various posters throughout really added the old school charm to this cozy restaurant. It just felt so nice and homely 😊.
I am pretty sure it was the spaghetti pescotora that we ordered, I love how basic it was having just an oil base and seafood yet it was quite tasty. I think it is a good choice for those opting for something that is not too heavy on the sauce. Loved the mushroom sauce that came with the veal scallopini, and the side of pumpkin and roasted potatoes were delicious and went perfectly well with the veal. I was absolutely shattered that I couldn't try the pizza due to my dietary requirements! The pizza looked amazing, I love how the toppings were whole and the base was not too thick. I've been told that the pizzas are what you've got to try here so I am making it my mission to return in a few months time after I am clear of my dietary requirements.
Gotta say this place is Always a hit . So glad to find them open this Early in the year , even though they were only serving pizzas . Staff are always great and food was on point as always
Hands down the best wood fired pizza in Melbourne .
Great for kids too .
Absolutely one of the best places to go and eat, fantastic service and the food is brilliant, the quality of the ingredients is as fresh as you can get .
A must to come and try out .

Very generous servings, great quality entrees and mains, delicious desserts. Would definitely be back! Highly recommend the olive and cheese garlic bread!
The service and staff are amazing. Our food came out quickly and fresh. The pizza was delicious and had a great base with lots of fresh toppings. If like tart desserts get the strawberry crepes.
They don't do master classes and they don't claim to be the best . They just humbly are the best .
Freshness and skill combined with happy helpful staff and a great setting .
I usually don't tell people about this place for fear of never getting a table there , but they just deserve a great review . 😊
My fave ❤️
This place is like little Italy! Absolutely beautiful service and food every time we go there. Best mushroom sauce in Melbourne. Can't default and would definitely recommend to others
Good family Italian restaurant.
Pizzas are absolutely delicious, staff are awesome, interior decorating and design is cool and I have nothing negative to say about it.
It's hard to find a solid consistent pizza shop run by proper Italians! Village pizzeria ticks all the boxes!
I have had many experiences at the Village pizzeria and all of them have been positive.
I have tried most pizzas and pastas on the menu and haven't found one that I wouldn't recommend. The food is always fresh and of a high quality and I have also brought many of my friends here before and they have all been impressed with the quality of their meals
Absolutely amazing! Been coming here for years and never leave disappointed! The wood fire oven pizzas are the best with the freshest toppings and perfect base. Vibe is really cool and staff are very friendly. Reasonably priced.
Truly feels like you are in Italy... Real traditional pizza, old fashioned service and the BEST Nutella dessert pizza! Been back a few times and looking forward to returning.
Absolutely delish . Not sure what the previous reviewer eat but everything we ordered was absolutely morish. We had 4 corners pizza, pasta 1976, pescatora & garlic calamari. Every dish was at least a 9/10
Never get sick of this place. Take your pick with any wood oven pizza or just get the Italian sausage, prosciutto & salami calzone. Need I say more yummo
A Little Slice of Italy. Hands down the best woodfire pizza in Melbourne made from the freshest ingredients! The staff are awesome & the atmosphere is alive! If you're looking for a Little Slice of Italy you can't go past The Village Pizzeria!
Seriously best pizza in town! Great atmosphere n the kids had so much fun n actually ate their food! Awesome traditional pasta from the hands of true Italians!
Best pizzas anywhere!!!. Delicious pizza and pasta... A little crowded but to be expected considering the caliber of food on offer... We had to wait while as they seemed understaffed but after chatting with the boss he went above and beyond, making ammends with some coffee and Nutella pizzas. Overall, a great night had by all.
Did not expect this tiny suburb to have an eatery like this hidden in it... Will be back for more soon!

Molto bene. Pizza & pasta the way it should be done!
Was truly blessed to stumble upon this place last night . This must be the holy grail of pizza. Not sure why 400 gradi an Woodstock and the like get all the accolades. ..when it comes to pizza This place is definitely where it's at .. Might go again tonight .. WOW
My god...wood oven pizza.... it has acquired a mythical status among my friends. We left a party one night looking for food and stumbled across wood oven pizza.. like a beacon of delicious pizza light in the dark, warm Melbourne night... rubbing our eyes to ensure it wasn't a mirage we stepped in and were faced with a mouth-watering menu, with pizzas ranging from the esoteric to the classic. We made our orders from the friendly, possibly italian pizza man and sat down to wait. After a short interval our pizzas arrived, piping hot from the oven. They were exactly what pizzas should be. Lovely crispy bases, rich, seasoned tomato sauce with delicious toppings. I admit i was a bit drunk, but I definitely knew this was a whole new pizza experience
The village pizzeria, on my fav list
now
Amazing!!. Food was fantastic, we love Italian food. I absolutely loved seeing the elderly women in the back cooking, it's what makes this restaurant authentic. The waitresses were very friendly, had a great smile and great conversation. Came here with friends for dinner and we will definitely be coming back again!. What a great place to enjoy awesome Italian food!
Delicious!!!. Friendly staff... great service.... food was amazing!!!
You won't taste better anywhere else. With great pizza and service to match, the Village Pizzeria really is the place to be.
The pizza was scrumptious, with dinner out of the woodfire oven and onto my plate within minutes of being seated.
Fresh and tasty pizza and pasta that really leave you wanting more.
Thanks to the people at the Village Pizzeria for a wonderful evening.
Highly recommend.
Amazing Italian food by amazing Italians. We had our daughters and aunties birthday here on Sunday night and the food was to die for. The staff were great even though they were flat out and it wasn't over priced like some overrated places in Brunswick, etc. Actually, I'm surprised there aren't more Village Pizzeria's around yet. Kind of glad it hasn't gone commercial ... Oh and this Tony Mok guy is delusional. Especially if he's a fan of 400 Gradi, I doubt he ever ate here. Probably owns a pizza shop up the road or something. Keep up the good work guys. Will be in next week again with the family!
Best pizza iv ever had. Everybody's talking about how great the pizzas are down here me just living around the corner had never tried them so thought I must try, went down on the weekend got recommended a gourmet pizza by one of the boys called italiana ! Absolutely amazing!!! fresh prosciutto olive oil and basil for the final touches highly recommending this place !
Literally the best pizza I've ever had !. I'm very big on pizza, and I don't throw the term loosely around but wow I was absolutely blown away when I had these pizzas.
I'm a returning customer because I'm 100% happy with the freshness of the ingredients, the friendly staff and the service.
I've pretty much had everything on the menu from pizza to pasta to dessert and it's A Grade quality ! DELICIOUS ! :D :D
Recommend to all my friends !!!!
Keep it up !

Absolutely Delicious. What an amazing experience at our local! It's not often you come across such delicious food at a local establishment. The pasta was to die for and the pizza is tasty, well cooked and has a great tasting base which I have struggled to find around the area! Service was also impressive and prompt. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a casual fuss free meal in the north west.
This place has the best pizza and pasta in Melbourne !! If you haven't been you should deffinetly go !! and if you've been you should go again :)
What a fantastic place to have a meal! The pizza's were amazing and the kitchen food was absolutely delicious! Great and friendly staff will definitely return here again! Very happy customer
Best Pizza, Pasta and Coffee!. If you're looking for a great Italian feed...you have to try the Pizza, Pasta and coffee from this place...amazing! The service was great, it was clean and the chef came and asked us how our meal was and if you can fit it in...you have to try the Nutella Pizza!!!
Awesome pizza and the service was exceptional as always. Tried pasta for the first time and it was like my mummy makes at home... Keep up the good work guys.
Peter. Masters of pizza
10 stars from me... the most quality toppings on a Pizza ive ever tasted.. If you live local or not you must try.. the best pizza in Melbourne..
Got my mates hooked. Yum yum yum!
Got Ernie and Lil hooked as they live nearby.
Unfortunately I don't but make an effort to go indulge there when I'm out that way :)
Absolutely AWESOME atmosphere.
Traditional Italian ladies cooking all the wonderful meals offered on the menu , giving a true casalinga feel.
Nice back ground music in a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere.
Service is second to none with nothing being an issue...
Prices are accordingly set.
Highly recommended to try the Pizza's. They are AMAZING.....
Good luck guys....
Yummy pizza! Yummy! This place is the bomb!
Yummy Hearty Food!!. A couple of girlfriends and I recently dined at The Village Pizzeria. We all really enjoyed the real home-style cooking. The gnocchi was so tender and delicious. I'm definitely taking the whole family there. We loved the nutella pizza!!!
Just the best. Ive been eating at italian restaurants in Melbourne all my life and have never come across pizza and pasta this good. No thin crust dry crap here, just delicious and generous comfort food.
Overall these guys make very nice pastas, but strangely, the toppings on the pizzas always seem slightly undercooked, like they could use an extra couple of minutes in the oven. For this reason I never order their pizzas anymore.
Amazing wood fire pizza, especially the antipasto pizza. Loved it.
Traditional Italian. I have been to many pizza places and this tops the lot. Also to know the owner has been trained in Italy and makes traditional Italian style pizza the meals are all proper Italian same as at any Nonnas house. He owner goes out if his way to make sure everyone is happy. Great spot for great Italian food.
Food was amazing!!! Staff are very friendly. I have been here more than once and both times I left feeling satisfied. Will definitely be back again!!
To be honest with you they are the best pizzas in melbourne and i would recommend the village pizzaria to everyone good service and beautiful food and one of the best pizza makers in melbourne.
Pizza!!!. Great food, the staff are really well presented and attentive. The food was great. The Italiana pizza i ordered was amazing. Also the guy working at the register was so hottt omg
Amazing food, pizza to die for.
Fast friendly service.
Will be back for sure!
Service is fairly average, but the food is simpily impeccable 4.5/5
Loved it. Great authentic italian food!! the pizza is the best in the area, staff very friendly, i highly recommend this place if u love italian food!!! and bonus the owner is a hottt pizza maker!!
Family Dinner...... Friendly service & GREAT FOOD.... The atmosphere reminds me of my family dinners and having the nonnas cooking out the back just makes it feel like home. Will definately recommend to anyone
New trading hours. Dear Customers and friends, we are again open 7 days , Monday and Tuesday menu includes everything from the pizza list, antipasti ,lasagna and desserts . and our full menu available wed - sunday....see you at The Village
The Village Pizzeria 10/10. The Village Pizzeria would have to be one of Melbourne's finest Italian pizza restaurants.
Sensational menu, amazing decor, and exceptional service .
Will definitely be back , loved it.
Great pizza's!. We found this place one night by accident and we have been back about 5 times since. The pizza is great - light and fluffy traditional style (not too many ingredients).
The actual restaurant also has a great mural on the wall of a traditional Italian scene - this adds a nice atmosphere with the other old fashioned posters on the walls.
We haven't had the pasta yet - but the nonna's in the back seem to make some great pasta as this seems to be what most people order! Next time perhaps....
Good local pizza place in Keilor. great chicken pizza and staff were friendly!
4.9/5. I can say, genuinely, this is on of the greatest woodfire parlors going around. From it's amazing decor and lively walls that just BANG and leave you in awe to the beautifully prepared kitchen meals by authentic Sicilian sinoras that'll never give you a loveless meal.
Before I tell you about the pizzas let me tell you a little about the man behind them, Gary, the pizza dragon, here's a man who's just here to give you %225 of everything he has to offer, never letting the slightest thing go wrong with your delicious, fluffy, rustically prepared pizziolo, a man who won't hesitate to go that extra 10 miles for the customer so long as the customer has the same respect he shows you, which is more than you'd expect from someone that's so good at what he does.
Keep up the great work Gary!
Yummy pizzas! The quality is outstanding, not like any pizza shop I have tried before. Very authentic, friendly staff and lovely atmosphere.
Great tasting food, great variety and awesome service for such a busy place.
Pizza was awesome .. friendly staff and very well priced. We now go there regularly . Best around .
Highly Recommended. Mr. Tattoos is extremely friendly and his staff were polite and very tentative - I think Pete's just being a bit sensitive. The restaurant is very cozy and the wood-oven pizzas are unrivalled. Definitely my first preference for Pizza in Melbourne.
They best pizza ever!. I have had their pizza twice now and can say that it truly is the best! The crust is perfect and they don't use that overly salty bad shredded ham. The Mexican flavour was actually HOT, nice and firery just how i like it, unlike other stores who just put a tiny bit on.
The chicken pizza is also amazing as the chicken doesn't taste rubbery or fake and they don't drown it in bbq sauce. But the best thing is that i don't feel bloated or heavy after eating their pizza. I don't think i'll buy pizza anywhere else now :)
Top Quality Pizza,service & ambience!. Being an avid or more like obsessive & passionate about a good pizza, I had to make the time to write my review on The Village Pizzeria! Everyone says they have a woodfired pizza & its authentic. But whether they know how to make one is another discussion! A good woodfired pizza is all about the dough! if its crap dough & not cooked properly,ie: nor over or under cooked, too thick or too thin..then you dont know your pizza! I was visiting from interstate and always eager to chase a good pizza, I was left extremely happy and impressed with their quality & menu variety. Damn good pizza dough, cooked to perfection, full of flavour & not over powering & definately left you feeling like you were in Italy! (where I have lived & worked!) The ambience was warm,busy but friendly. The owner was more than happy to surprise me with his choice of pizza which I found more than satisfactory & showed his knowledge & expertise. I highly reccommend this pizzeria and would definately be a regular diner every single melbourne visit from now on. If anyone could possibly write anything negative, then theyre either,1..drunk...2...not world travelled..3 not pizza refined..4 a competitor or someone who would normally eat a frozen supermarket brand! Well done Village Pizzeria..I will be more than happy to send all my business acquaintances to dine there on there melbourne trips! Loved It!
RE: Pete. Pete, Fisrt and foremost, if you are not prepared to shout buy three pizza'a for your friend, what $50, I suggest from now on you dine 'Bobby Solo'. I travel roughfully half an hour for the authentic italian traditional wood fire pizzas at The Village Pizzeria. Secondly, it is immoral to call someone an overweight, tattoed moron, but here goes with me being immoral, stop being a tightarse
Best Pizzas in Melbourne 100% and kitchen food is exceptional. I am so grateful to live around the corner from this beautiful Italian restraunt :)
Great pizza. Living just minutes away from this wonderful establishment is a joy. I felt that I must express that contrary to the opinion provided by this Pete fellow I've always found the service friendly and engaging. This place provides fantastic food, and all things is probably going to be my dinner tonight.
Best city style restaurant in our local area!! Definitely recommend. We had the mix grill and it was amazing. Surprisely, considering that they looked like they specialised with pizza and pasta! :) overall A+
Delightful warm, cozy ambiance delicious authentic Italian food great staff and service.. note to pete.. perhaps a Pizza Hut would suit you best.. no intimidating tattooed morons to frighten poor you!
Mr Tattoos, your Pizzas are awesome!
Nice surprise in the suburbs. I stumbled across The Village Pizzeria one night with the girls. Was pleasantly surprised when we walked in. We were greeted by warm smiles and given a table immediately although they were quite busy. The amazing aroma coming from the kitchen, and from their woodfire oven gives you the feeling like you're in italy. And once their food came out, I instantly decided that this would be one of my favourite places. Love the pizza dough! We ordered prawns and pasta as well, and they were divine. 10 points from me, definitely recommend it to everyone.
Delicious Italian Food. Came for the first time with my family, the food was delicious, one of the best Italian restaurants I have been to. The pizza's are cooked in a wood oven and were really yummy, and we also had the gnocchi which was hand made and really nice, the customer service was great too, it was speedy and friendly will definitely come here again
The flavours are traditional but they also have a gourmet section. The crust is puffy, soft and full of bitey texture and the toppings are not too little and not over the top AND....They use virginian ham instead of the over salty shredded ham (YES!).
This place has the best pizzas ive eaten in Melbourne! Wood oven and delicious fresh, quality toppings cooked perfectly! Loved the atmosphere too! Will def be going back with the family again!🤗
Food was fabulous, staff were awesome, decor was cool too!
Highly recommended. Will go there again.
