This is by far my favourite pizza spot in Melbourne. The pizza has the perfect chewy base and the toppings are always generous and full of flavor. We always choose to sit outside as Rathdowne Village is away from the busy roads and has a quiet, relaxed vibe. The staff are incredibly warm and accommodating and brought some water out for my dog. It’s a great spot for anyone looking for quality pizza in a cozy setting.

Very cool looking venue with mural, foliage and illuminated sign. Friendly service. $14 workers lunch which is good value. We shared the snitzel wrap and chips but the wrap needed more sauce/flavour, and the chips were not salted enough. Nice and spacious rooftop with an undercover area. We went on a really hot day and although there were fans and coverings it was extremely warm and uncomfortable though lovely and cool downstairs in the restaurant section.

Had the Sunday set menu with wines! Plenty of food! Delicious! Definitely will be back.

Great food, fresh, hot and tasty - feed me menu was good value. Service was nice, maybe a little slow in between entree and main.

Decent portion size of dishes. Parama and chips good value. Big breakfast really good. Friendly staff, it’s one of my favourite places to eat for brunch.
