We fell in love with this place 10 or so years ago when our kids were little. The chef threw some dough to our boys and they made a dinosaur and a snake. Then the chef put olives and other things on them and cooked them. The kids were delighted and entertained!
The food has been consistently delicious and now that we have finally moved to Melbourne we go there twice a month.
Whether it's just the four of us or when we take 6 or so of our friends the service is always the same. We have even gone there for afternoon tea and the choc pizza really is to die for.
Yes it's busy. Yes sometimes you wait. But it's a fun environment and very much worth the wait! It's our fave place to eat. And now that my hubby drinks wine with me it's better ;)
As a very frequent customer. Their food is amazing EVERY single time. Definitely our favourite place. Great service with a superb menu. I can recommend quite a few dishes but my absolute favourite is their seafood risotto!! It's absolutely mouth watering! 🤤😁

It is to die for
Fantastic service, food to die for and very entertaining! Thanks for a great night! Bellissimo!!
Thank you so much for the last two nights Carlos and your beautiful staff. The kids get very excited when they know they are going to Melbourne and you are a first stop, to the point it is now an Engel tradition. They love the fun and the warmth of you and your team, and the beautiful food. Your new Carlos’ Choice is amazing by the way. Take care and hopefully see you all soon. The Engels x
Great food, nice vibe, reasonably priced given its prime location and friendly staff. A winner.
Cozy place to eat. Treated like family! Would recommend to friends �
Food was fantastic wine was fab and service outstanding. Highly recommend this brilliant Italian! Will be back next time we're in Melbourne
Great food and even better atmosphere, staff couldn't have been friendlier. Oh.... and the parpadelle with chicken and mushrooms... delicious.
Such a lovely vibe this place is ! Pink and cheerful , great for parties too.
Love the yummy pizza with fresh toppings . So generous .
And the pasta so chock full of seafood . Perfect lunch for two and I cannot move after that. Try it and you would love this pizzeria in Carlton .
Tasty Italian cuisine on Lygon st, we ordered a couple of wood fired pizzas and gnocchi. We loved the Salsiccia pizza with pesto base, mozzarella, pork & fennel sausage, red onion, rosemary potato & rocket, perfect combo!! Gnocchi was delicious as well. Staff were friendly, looking forward to coming back.

Enjoyed everything we had from here. Loved having the pizza with chilli oil & with their pasta you are able to choose what type of pasta you would like, and we opted for fettuccini on our Seafood Pasta. It had such generous amount of seafood in it 😊🥰
My favourite ❤️ would have to go to the Chocolate 🍫 pizza!
It was chefs kiss* 😗👌🏻 Never had anything like it!!
Fun, pink, vibrant atmosphere that’s great to catch up with a friend at 🙌🏻 the amount of seafood in the pasta was extremely generous which I’m so glad to see! The team is also full of energy which made the dining experience even better
The prettiest pink restaurant you’ll find in Carlton. Absolutely loved everything we ordered. The pizza was perfectly light and crispy with delicious flavours. Pasta had a good kick of chilli which kept us coming back for more and the Nutella pizza was 100/10! Very good food, friendly team and a relaxed and vibey setting. Will be back for sure.

@mercadante_pizzeria, Carlton 📍This pizzeria is a real contender along the Lygon Street scene! It’s right next to Universal, and their new Pink Facelift makes them hard to miss! ✨✌🏻😍💞💖
All the pizzas we ordered were prepared with care and servings were incredibly generous!! The seafood pasta was ridiculously huge. Flavours also did not disappoint❣️ If you’re after a Pink Pizza Shop to take the girls - look no further for an authentic Italian feast!!!! 💕💖
Their cocktail list is also worth a try! 🍹
Cute pizzeria with pink dominant interior with woodfired oven which translates to great pizza!
We had:
🍝Squid ink Marinara.
Squid Ink pasta, prawns, squids, scallops & mussels.

🍕Salsiccia
Pesto base, mozzarella, pork & fennel sausage, red onion, rosemary potato & rocket
