About Alessio's Pizza

Perched above Waterworks Road, Alessio’s Pizza nails scratch-made Italian comfort without the trek across town. Right up front, the pizzaiolo stretches sourdough dough in plain view while kids doodle directly on the paper-topped tables. Regulars lean into unconventional builds like the Alessio Special on its sweet pumpkin purée foundation alongside fiery Diavolas and bowls of carbonara. Crisp Parm fries round out the spread before you finish with a scoop of Sicilian gelato.

  • Front-Row Dough Prep: Watch dough stretched to order at the front prep counter while kids keep busy with table drawing and play dough.
  • Scratch-Made Crusts & Pastas: Sourdough crusts paired with inventive foundations like pumpkin purée alongside classics like Diavola and carbonara.

    Tables welcome young diners to draw and color directly on them while waiting for food, keeping kids engaged throughout dinner.

Before you head over

Practical dining tips on reservations, timing, and ordering to get the best out of your visit.

  • Reserve ahead for evening dining

    Secure a table in advance, particularly on weekends or school holidays, as the dining room fills up fast with local families and groups.

  • Time takeaway and dine-in for quick turnaround

    Pizzas bake and emerge quickly in 5 to 15 minutes, so arrive promptly when ordering takeaway or sit down ready to eat while the crust is hot and crisp.

  • Explore specialty bases and spice customizations

    Don't hesitate to ask for off-menu creations like the pumpkin purée base combinations or request extra chilli on pasta dishes if you like extra heat.
