Went here for a casual dinner with friends. Was lucky to get a booking and that the restaurant had a enough seating for the current covid restrictions.
We ordered a vegetarian, garlic and Italian and pancetta pizza. My favourite was the vegetarian, as the garlic was a bit too bready and the pancetta and sausage pizza was a little salty.
Overall I enjoyed the meals and everything was reasonably priced. Will say that I was a bit surprised that they weren't serving tap (free) water and instead we had to pay for bottle water which might be a result of the current situation.
It’s a nice place, very well set up for kids. We turned up and the kids were provided with activities (colouring in) to keep them occupied and they could also win a prize. Kids also got free dessert before 7. Service was excellent. They have a good selection of craft beers.
The pizza dough was good, crunchy right through, but perhaps the crust could have been a little chewier. The toppings were very imaginative - I particularly liked the special. However they do use a gas oven so it doesn’t really have that Smokey taste that I prefer - it’s a bit of a personal preference. A place to go with the kids, but for the pizza I’ll reserve judgement until I’ve tried the Margherita (of which they have 3 varieties).
Great pizza, loved it for many years, especially Sock it to Me and My only Crush. But please stop using Foodora to deliver your pizzas. Second time they’ve cancelled on me after waiting 75minutes for delivery. Your food is great, please, please ditch Foodora!
Went the other night and really enjoyed ourselves the food was flavorsome So Delicious, Pizza amazing !!! and the lasagna was out of this world, Service, Great, too, WE will definitely be back.
Friendly staff, reliable pizzas and a relaxed environment. We ate with three of us with two pizzas and the entrees. Standout was the polenta chips and calamari. Great feed
Yeah this is pretty good. We had the pumpkin pizza and it wss cheesy and pumpkiny as promised. Gluten free bases if that's your sort of thing.
Prefer it to Mojo. Some might find it boring in comparison but it's simple pizza that is really good. A little bit pricer than your standard pizza .
Have been to this place several times in the past couple of years. Good variety of gourmet pizza choices, very family friendly with kiddy drawing activities provided, accommodating and friendly staff. And the pizzas have all been really nice!
Very decent pizzas on the pricier side. Excellent sides and wet dishes. Great range of classic pizza choices and some more interesting ones. Good wine list that isn't too pricey. Worth a go.
These guys do the thin-base gourmet toppings thing. An by geez they do it well.
If you're a local and you've got a wise nut, you knock off work early Friday and head for a coffee at Cavallini, then when the Cav' shuts up shop you slide a meter next door and you're in pizza heaven. Perfectly balanced flavors that are best enjoyed on summer days out front with loved ones. You might even see a scantily clad model on a Ducati tootle past on Queens for a total Italian experience;)
Best pizza I have ever had ! And I've tasted pizza all over Italy! We also ordered lasagne and it was amazing too! So tasty, flavours were authentic and on point just like home cooked meals from your grandma! I've been dreaming about their pizza ever since! We also ordered the Nutella and pear crumble calzone and it was divine! Cannot fault the food at all!
Had the slow roast pizza. Base was a good balance of thinness with a thicker crust. Meat was super flavor some and soft, combination of other toppings worked super well together. It was $19 which is a little on the expensive side, but the flavor was there. Pizza was ready in the time nominated. Guy who served me was very personable. Will be going back to try other pizzas soon.
First time dined here sat nite. Nice setup, cosy place.
Warm greeting , simple things like Water on table and waiter ask for drinks. The wife and I shared a platter, focaccia calamari and the croquette. Well presented and delish. Had room for pizza and it didn't disappoint . Service was good. Highly recommend this place.
Got take away pizza from here and I must say I am not a huge pizza fan but these pizzas are bang on. Ordered two, the Roast Lamb and the king of Scotland both worth a try. Would recommend.
Truly great pizza!. The food is amazing and this is now the Gradi of Clifton Hill! Everything we had was remarkably tasty. The service was friendly and attentive. Great all rounder.
Not bad and a good addition to the scene, but expensive for what it is. But....
I lament for the Lamb of Albero. I HOWL for the the portal to open and the fat back base to beat back to the table with jazz. Come on man! Come back!
Lovely, crispy crust with a soft, light middle is a perfect base for well balanced toppings. This restaurant has a good selection of pizzas to suit everyone and the service is friendly and welcoming. Worth a visit!
What a gem! Was visiting a friend in the neighbourhood on Friday night and we ended up having dinner here. Friendly and unpretentious service, delicious pizzas and wine - a perfect local restaurant that you can count on for a good evening. Thank you.
Best pizza in Clifton Hill. After passing by this place so many time I finally decided to give it a try. Oh boy, I've been missing out on some of the best food Clifton Hill has to offer.
Thin base, with a classic Italian tomato sauce, quality toppings, you can not go wrong here. It is a little more expensive than alternatives, but the quality makes up for that. My pizza was $18, there should have been a few slices left over, but it was so tasty I had to keep eating.
This restaurant should have more advertisement as it's such a gem. Located on the main drag of Queens Parade, it's a quaint yet quirky place. The pizza toppings are unique and tasty but you must try the Nutella & Pear calzone dessert! Delicious!
Fantastic pizza excellent customer service nice atmosphere good prices great value for money. Will be back.
How lucky am I to be a local?. Seriously the best pizza ever - I know its a huge call but believe me when I say it is wonderfully beautiful food...
I've found the service is usually excellent, although it was extremely busy on NYE and they were a little tardy however they did come back regularly and check back with us, so we knew we were not forgotten.
The food selection is excellent, is a wonderful quality and their wine list is good - but could be a bit more diverse/exciting. I'd like to see more of a range. They cater for big and little people and are exceptionally child friendly.
The back room is noisy, so I'd suggest a seat in the front of the restaurant or on the street with our current lovely weather.
All up, I highly recommend and guarantee you will soon be a regular. And best of all, they also do take away, so just call and collect....too easy!
Went with work mates for Xmas party.
Great food and attentive service. Recommend!
TASTY SURPRISE. My friend lives locally , and after a warm stroll last Saturday night , we ventured past for pizza and a glass of wine ..
Are the pizzas a little light on topping , maybe , but it had lots of flavour and was extremely fresh tasting ....topped off with a nice selection of wine , I found staff extremely polite and attentive ..would DEFINETELY come back
The pizza makers although working hard still smiled and acknowledged patrons...sign off great service ...yummy
Best pizzas I've ever had, for Brits out there this is cheaper than Ask/Pizza Express etc and infinitely better. House red is amazing and you have to have the ice cream dessert. It comes from the deli next door and is very lovely indeed.
Outstanding staff and service. My daughter loves this restaurant and insisted to take us all there on Father's Day. The food was excellent and they have some really nice wines. But what truly impressed me was how attentive the staff was and how outstanding the service in general was! We had a great Father's Day, thank you Queen Margaret's team!
New management or floor staff at least - highly organised and food as good as ever. Great experience we love this place for an early family dinner.
Amazing!. I was weary to come here after reading all the terrible reviews about bad service but my partner and I have been to the cafe next door owned by the same people and the food is fantastic so we had to give Queen Margaret a try. From the moment we walked in the staff were incredibly attentive, offering drinks, explaining items on the menu and refilling water while we waited for our meal. When our meal did come, my gosh was it something! Pizza as good as the real stuff in Italy (I should know having eaten a good many pizzas all over Italy). The nutella and pear calzone for dessert was a real treat as well. Overall we were delighted with our experience at Queen Margaret and did not experience any of the bad service I was expecting. Would highly recommend this restaurant to all!
Good but Pricey. Great pizza and tasting plates are a highlight. Although its pretty pricey when you take a family of 5 with three kids under eight and with a beer and glass of wine it costs $150. Service friendly but could be more attentive. Good location, decor and atmosphere. A few more mains on the menu other than pizza would be good. Chicken cottoletta was great. Beer selection good.
A stand out on Queens Parade. So glad I tried this place. Good selection of local beer and very good pizza. Service with a very genuine smile. What more could you ask for?
Awesome Stuff - Gabstar I w.... Awesome Stuff - Gabstar
I went there with a couple of mates and demolished a beautiful pizza, especially the base. That was the pizza No 17. It was nice but my favorite is the potato. We shared (for dessert) a huge bowl of mean gelati. Licked the bowl clean. Nothing wrong with it. I even saw my premiership teammate there; Tommy the Bish!!!
7/10. We liked our pizzas here. The bases were firmer and seemed to have been cooked for longer than many others (not a negative, just different), and toppings were good. Staff friendly. Would be happy to return.
Queen Margaret is a must to experience and worth a drive to experience it. Locals in the area are very lucky. The shared plates were a delight and the Calamari simply magnificent. The bruschetta was outstanding from its presentation to taste. The pasta was ample and laced beautifully with lashings of seafood. Robert and Natalie Coco of Cavallini fame have produced another gem. We will be back and soon. Dianne.
Book and ask for gnocchi. Wow, what a meal. Pre-ordered off-menu gnocchi with lamb ragout, absolutely delicious, rich, complex, yet fresh flavours. Followed with two outstanding pizza; a mushroom to die for and margarita with pancella that was lovely. Very much recommended.
Loved It!. Decided at the last minute to go out for dinner on Saturday night and came across Queen Margaret. It was really busy but we were greeted immediately and got a table straight away (though it may have been the last one free). It's quite small in the front (didn’t see the back) and the tables are all close together so don't expect to be able to stretch out but this didn't bother us. The waitress was quick to take our order, starters and drinks arrived in good time, loved the aubergine bruschetta. Shortly after our starters the waitress told us there would be a delay on the pizza and gave us an extra starter on the house. We really didn’t mind and were quite happy to take our time. Pizza was tasty, just wish I’d had room left for a dessert as they looked really good! We’ll be back!
Worth the wait. We live very close by and have tried several times to just turn up and get a table here - without success. I suppose one should book, but what's the point of having something around the corner if you can't make a snap decision not to cook and just go out? Anyway, we finally got in. It was very good. Not sure the pizzas are the best even in the area (Woodstock in Nicholson is probably better), but they aren't overly expensive and the entrees - gruyere and potato croquettes and an excellent platter of salami, coppa, mortadella, prosciutto for $12 was good value. My pizza was fine, wine by the glass was good, my daughter's kid-sized pizza was OK (and reasonably priced), coffee was good, so all in all a very enjoyable and not overly-expensive spot. Service was fine - after a few minutes taken to figure out which table was free.
Delicious. The pizza is fantastic, with options to please everyone. Quite a generous size for the pricing too. The meatballs are also worth ordering, as is the agnolotti. Can't wait to work my way through the menu! Only downside is the back section can get a little noisy, and going on the wrong day might end up in a wait for a table.
Won't be disappointed!. The best pizza experience i've had so far!
By far the best pizza around fantastic bellisimo

BEST PIZZA. Queen Margaret gets my top vote on many levels - amazing pizza with fresh ingredients, unique and interesting combinations that make your mouth water! Pizza base was delicious. Went with a few friends and tried 4 different pizzas (all with very creative and fun names) and each pizza rocked! Toppings were generous and the prawns SO fresh! Also had some tapas (croquets, calamari and olives were delicious)... Ice-cream for desert hit the spot.
Loads of great beers on offer as well, most of which I haven't ever tried, but can't wait to make my way through the whole list.
Must make mention of the warm and cosy interior, which felt really welcoming. Love the funky piping on the wall, dim lights and the bar area in the middle section.
Also, take a few extra minutes to go to the bathroom and read the story of Queen Margaret painted on the walls out the back...
Do yourself a favour and get to Queen Margaret for a great meal.... Thanks QM - just what Clifton Hill needed! Will be back again and again and again!
Food for Kings at Queen Margaret. Lovely service (once seated!... probably would have been best to book)
Pizzas were quite big and worth the price.
Entrees were amazing.
Staff were attentive and friendly.
Will be back!!!
LOVED IT. Had dinner for the 3rd time at Queen Margaret last night and we LOVE it! Staff are friendly and attentive, Pizza is amazing and the ambience is brilliant. Our new Pizzeria - Hail the Queen.
Love dining at the Queen. What a wonderful experience, the greeting at the door is friendly and welcoming and there are a variety of seating options from intimate to family style. We The tables are brilliant with the menus providing loooooooooooooots of really great choices - especially like the tapas options, the gruyere croquettes and mushy pea bruschetta are to die for! The story on the back of the menu is very entertaining and the back of the restaurant features the same story.
There is a good variety of pizza options with excellent vegetarian choices, subtle flavours that are French-style in complexity and very different to the fare available at other Italian restaurants. These are complimented with an excellent selection of boutique beers and red wines (we don't drink white).
Finally the service is the same as you would receive at any of the top restaurants in Melbourne, and for less than half the price. The Queen Margaret is now a regular monthly feature on our dining out agenda.
Nice one centurian. After recently dining at QM I am looking forward to going back soon. We arrived without a booking and after ordering a drink at the bar, were promptly shown to our table by one of the friendly staff.
Dining with my partner and a friend we all went separate directions. My girlfriend ordered the agnolotti, our friend the rockpool pizza and I went for 2 of the small dishes - an eggplant lasagne and seared prawns with chorizo. We ordered a QM salad to share. We tasted each others dishes and all were delicious with servings that we considered reasonably generous.. The QM salad with walnuts was exceptional.
The attentive, good natured wait staff complimented the great food and pleasant company.
We had a nice meal here. It's a great compliment to some of the other good pizza places around, different style - not really better or worse. The service was good and prompt. The families in the back half of the restaurant looked well looked after too. The food was great quality and the wine was nice.
Smells delicious, tastes delicious! Very nice and inviting pizzeria. Gluten fre bases not my favourite in Melbourne, but still very good. Nutella and pear crumble calzone is delicious!
Excellent Italian style venue and pizzas. Delicious with nice gluten free options. Good family option with kids and they provided colouring in pages which kept the kids entertained 👍🙏
My favourite local. I have ordered take away three times in the last month and each time the pizza was fresh, delicious and the staff when I rang were lovely and helpful. So ridiculously good.
Fantastic pizzas, young staff members working who were great and prove that young people can provide great service. We will be back.
My favourite pizza place in Melbourne so far. Well worth the hour drive one way!! Their broccolini pizza and pistachio gelato blow my mind every time. The QM salad is superb too can not this recommend this place enough :)
Unusual. It’s pizza where the crust is the star and the toppings enhance it. We had numbers of different pizzas and loved them all. Very impressive. Recommended.
Great smelling place, fast friendly service. Recommend by a friend
Mum says 'best pizza in the whole wide world'. It seems a bit extreme but I'm not sure I can actually think of better pizza either!
