About Arlo's Pizzeria

Slow-fermented sourdough pizza and fresh handmade pasta anchor this relaxed Chevron Island family joint. Hand-stretched bases bake crisp with chewy cornicione edges in the wood-fired oven. Footpath tables fill quickly with regulars sharing garlic focaccia, beef ragu fettuccine, and bottles of BYO wine as street traffic hums past. Slices come finished with fresh toppings—salty prosciutto, truffle ricotta, or local prawns—and you won't find chicken anywhere on the menu. For bigger crews, the kitchen bakes a massive 24-inch Big Boy pie to anchor the table.

  • Wood-fired sourdough bases: Hand-stretched sourdough dough blistered crisp in a wood-fired oven.
  • The 24-inch Big Boy: A massive 24-inch pizza built to feed hungry tables and gatherings.
  • Footpath seating & BYO: Casual alfresco footpath dining with BYO drinks in the heart of Chevron Island.

  • Family-Owned Community Pride

    Arlo's operates as a passionate, tight-knit family enterprise where guests connect directly with the owners and community roots.

    Knowing this business is named after their son just hit home for me, as I’ve also named my own business after my son.
