Now when I think of pizza, I think of here.

Absolutely amazing and best pizza in Melbourne (and best I can remember anywhere even Italy).

Beautiful wildfire taste, thin base but holds its shape. Fantastic toppings - highlights include the mushroom & blue cheese pizza, and the potato pizza.

Great variety of entrees and desserts also, however the pizzas are the main star of the show.

Frank's pizza restaurant is a local icon. Not only are the pizzas absolutely delicious but the menu also enables people with allergies (like me) to continue to enjoy food without having to be worried that we'll get sick. The gluten free pizza base is still the best I have ever had! Any fellow celiacs out there - Il Pizzaiolo is a must try!

The Zucca pizza is second to none and the prosciutto is also a favourite. When you walk into IP, it's like you're walking into a family home with beautifully fresh cooked meals and you're always greeted with a smile.

Best pizzas in the north!

Great restaurant to eat at. Been here many times, the service and quality of food has been excellent every time. The wood fire oven is spectacular and you are never waiting long for food even when they are busy. Great variety for pizza and the deserts are amazing, would highly recommend for anyone as it is well worth the price you pay.

Really nice pizza and friendly staff. This place makes my top 3 list for places to have pizza in Melbourne. The bases are so light but also have a nice crispness on the bottom. very tasty toppings, can't wait to visit again soon!

3.5. Ordered the salsiccia pizza for takeaway. The pork sausage was great and I really liked the small potato cubes. Crust was good. Friendly staff. Wouldn't mind dining in next time to have the pizzas fresh out of the oven.

Pizzas were beautiful, fresh and loved the thin crispy base. The atmosphere was cool and liked that we could actually see the chefs making our food. Would definitely go back for a pizza hit

Really lovely atmosphere, service and food. Gluten free bases are super delicious. Antipasto selection is just enough- Arancini I would recommend!!
Will definitely return to Il Pizzaiolo :)

Have had this on my list to do for a long time. Finally went.... And was not dissapointed. The service from the moment we stepped foot in the door was amazing. The entree we had was brilliant. Yes we got a pizza each after which was way too much. But was just amazing. Very very impressed. Even chef came out to talk and see if everything was alright. Will be back again for sure!!!

Best pizza in the Northcote/Thornbury area. And probably further than that too. And covid hasn't changed that one little bit! You can get now prepared pizzas ready for the oven, they take 6-7 minutes in the oven and taste mint!!

Delicious food. Friendly owner and staff. It was pretty busy but Service was still quick. Didn't get that excess salt feeling after eating pizza that I always do. Highly recommend 😀

Yes, another pizza place. Is there room for another one, well, yes if it meets the expectations of a what a good pizza should consist of and this place does. It caters for all tastes and does it brilliantly from Vega options to meat lovers in a simple no fuss menu. All this comes at a premium price. If you are looking for bulk at low pricing then go to Domino's, however if you want a wood fired pizza made in a traditional way then you cannot go pass this suburban venue. It is busy and during peak times bookings are essential which tells you the pizzas must be good.

Incredible pizza and lovely staff. A spelling mistake on the wall next to us was annoyingly all I could notice once I spotted it but it could all be forgiven at the taste of that pizza! Highly recommend.
