Pizza d'asporto - Yarraville

After a long walk along the bay from Brighton to P. Melbourne it was back to Yarraville and a try at the Pizza D'Asporto. The place was crowded on a Saturday night but after a leisurely 15 mins browsing in the adjacent bookshop we found a place by the oven: great table management and for-ever courteous. By the oven was all the better place to watch the production process that underpins these fabulous pizzas. While we waited for our two pizzas (one featuring leeks + gorgonzola, the other pumpkin and goats cheese - plenty here for vegetarians) we could see sacks of flour being combined with yeast, water and oil into the mixer, huge lumps of dough being deftly split up, weighed and rolled into shiny globes, and earlier editions of those globes being spun and teased into fabulous light Neapolitan-style pizza bases. Worth being there just to see the coordinated action of numerous family members. Of course the pizzas turned out to be delicious, a good choice of very reasonably priced wines - we went for one of the few Australian ones on the Italian-dominated short list and an excellent cannolo and espresso to finish up. The pizzas are not small so expect to bringing something home in a box! If I lived in Melbourne I'd be going to this place on a regular basis! Excellent.

Delicious food - always!! Owners are super nice. Fantastic atmosphere. My favourite pizza place in the west. So excited they opened here as we were visiting the Willy one for years.

Only one complaint.. This place is so busy it's impossible to get a seat.. Lol.. but they still fit us in!! Always!Amazing pizza, phenomenal home made pasta, Italian beer on tap, fantastic chianti.. and the service.. well, it doesn't get better than a beautiful family run authentic Italian joint.. with Captain Claudio, Antonietta and of course, young Anthony.. ready to make your experience special. Italian music accompanied by the beautiful Sophia Loren in the background.. all play their part in making this a fantastic dining experience every time.. but don't forget to ask for their own Limoncello to finish it all off..Bravo! And thank you for your hospitality every time! Thouroughly recommended!!John & Lucy x

Just chanced upon this new gem and I was rewarded. Simply the best pizza pastry, and pizza, I have had for years. Good coffee as well.

As locals in Yarraville we took out visiting but that was our loss. The food was amazing and you can tell it's a family ran restaurant because everyone's attitude was amazing. It was so busy they were being slammed but the service was great. We enjoyed the aranchini balls and calamari with the wonderful pizza! The only improvement could be a more extensive wine list but what they had was great value!
