I can't speak highly enough of this little pizza place in a laneway off Bourke street.
The wood fired pizzas are to die for and the woodfired gnocchi is rather nice just a little plain. But with a little bit of chilli oil drizzled on it it is amazing.
Best pizzeria! SPQR is set on a laneway in the heart of the CBD in a typical Melbourne fashion.
The menu is quite simple yet authentic. It's a great place for a quick dinner after an event in the city. We ended up here after going to another place first and being treated badly, but it worked out for the best for sure!
We ordered the Pepperoni and the Hey Pesto. Both were delicious, we couldn't fault them.
Will be back for sure!
When you get excited about booking somewhere new and it turns out to be pants but then you leave and you end up at SPQR Pizza instead – it’s a great night!! We had walked past the big windows on our way to our rubbish dinner destination – everyone looked so happy and it was all so warm and welcoming and it was pizza. It only took 30 minutes of crap service and no food for us to scurry back and look a little bit too hopeful when we asked if we could still get a table. Little intimate table for two just for us, under the chalkboard packed with the delicious dough stuff that we love!
Came here on Sunday evening. And apparently we have to book, but luckily we manage to just walked in. Couldnt remember what we got. But we definitely had the seasonal pizza which was the white pizza.
It was ok for that one, not really a big fan of the potatoes on the pizza. But loves the red pizza with meat and rocket on top! :) pretty filling for me hahaha
We had a trio of pizzas on a full-on busy Saturday night here. All 3 didn't disappoint.
The Margherita was a cheesy delight. Loved the mozzarella and parmesan combination. The Zucca was delicious (especially if you're a fan of pumpkin)! It was the first time I've had pumpkin on a pizza and it sure won't be the last time. And finally, the Hey Pesto had lovely creamy eggplant with pesto and cheese. The pizza dough was soft yet chewy and well charred.
The pizzas come with a premium price tag and service was a bit hot and cold. All in all, a pleasant night at SPQR.
God damn that Quattro formaggi pizza is good! Dribble a bit of chilli oil on a slice to add a bit of kick and devour that beauty!
Not a fan of the music but hell, I wasn’t coming for that was I? Hands down you will NOT regret stopping by for a pie

😱Lizzie’s first impression: I was quickly impressed when the pizza came out, despite having a rocky start with the staff not welcoming me...
🍩Lizzie enjoyed: I tried the mushroom pizza and it was hands down one of the most delicious pizzas I’ve had - the base is soft by had a great flavour and salty enough (almost reminding me of garlic naan) the toppings were generous and I even asked for some truffle oil which complemented well with the mushroom. We also tried he pepperoni pizza and that was delicious too - a lot of meat but not too fatty.
🍅Lizzie did not enjoy: I was greeted by a lady at the door to welcome my partner and I so I started walking behind her only to find out that she walked into the kitchen area, leaving me embarrassed when the other male staff looked at me funny as he didn’t know what I was doing walking into the restaurant by myself without being escorted apparently.
🥇Lizzie rates overall: a great place for pizzas if not one of the greatest in the CBD - I just wished the staff were as good as the food.
Delicious pizza, great wine list, great customer service. I've returned here and the food does not disappoint! Always jamming and there's a great vibe. The only (minor) complaint is that the music is very loud, making it hard to have conversatilns. Music choice on point though!
Ordered a takeaway before the footy. I must say it is one of the best wood fired pizza places in Melbourne. The ingredients are quality and the staff are polite and friendly.
SPQR Pizzeria is serving Neapolitan style sourdough pizza that's ready in 60 seconds thanks to a wood oven running at 420 degrees. Get it by the slice with a can of Peroni Red at a quick-service bar or settle into the split-level dining room for antipasti, gnocchi and whole pizzas. The wine list focuses on Italian varietals from throughout the world alongside beer, Aperol spritz, red and white wine on tap. Boasting over 27 different street artists, the walls are a constantly evolving gallery and with DJs most nights this isn't your average pizzeria. "Straight Outta Naples"
