We had a choice between a couple of different pizza places and chose here. It looks like an old converted pub or something and there is a large wooden counter which must have been the original bar. It's large and plenty of seating and there's a warm and welcoming atmosphere.

Order was taken quickly and the four different pizzas we had were all very nice. We even swapped some toppings around between the chicken pizza, the meatlovers and the cappriciosa and all was done as we had asked.

They have pasta also and other meals.
Price was good - just over $50 for four people.

Approximate cost: $12 - 15

A great family friendly restaurant, we were warmly welcomed and quickly shown to our seats. The service was fast, and the pizzas were the best we've had in Ballarat - loaded with yummy toppings, and with not the heavy bready crust that plagues pizza shop offerings.

The children's menu was good value, and they were friendly and engaged with our child, ensuring that he felt welcomed.

We'll go back, the pizza won us over, and so did the relaxed atmosphere.

Approximate cost: $16.00

Yummo, i love the chicken parmigiana and all of the pizzas and pastas that ive tried, they are always piping hot and fresh. Great place for a family meal with kid friendly options on the menu. Decent pricing.

i have mixed feelings about this place. i have had tasty moments there i.e when younger at friends birthday and when older my aunties birthday but i have also had disgusting moments most recently when i went and ordered spaghetti bologna and found the sauce the be horrible very runny and tasted like homebrand tomato soup. i would be open to going there again but i am not sure what i am going to get until i start eating

Great food, quick and friendly service at a reasonable price . A great place to eat if you are in a hurry. The spaghetti with mushrooms is really yummy and the garlic and cheese pizza...... mmmmmmm

This place can get busy but the pizza is wonderful.
The staff can go two ways - either never there or ALWAYS there harassing you. One night I actually had to tell a young girl that i'd call out if I wanted anything. She was interrupting conversation between me and my partner to see if we needed anything when our plates and glasses were full!
Also, do not order a large table, you'll be shoved in the back corner with a few inches between your chair and the wall!

The food is generally good, some nights are better than others when it comes to risotto's. Pizza's are always good, specially the chicken tandoori. Dining in is alright, just sometimes if it gets a bit busy you feel like you've been forgotten about, but once ordered the food comes out pretty quickly. It can get pretty loud at times. Pretty good value all round.

Approximate cost: $15-25

I used to go here quite often, unfortunately I'm a little busy lately and have been unable to go nearly as often.
The food is great! I always get the Carbonara, and although the last few bites are swimming in oil, it is my all time favourite Carbonara, and i wish i had the recipe for it!
As for the price, an entree sized Carbonara is only $10.30 and ive yet to manage to eat the whole bowl! (I eat a LOT of food) and it leaves me full for quite some time.
The service is quick and they have plenty of people walking around to make sure everyone is ok (perhaps too many) and they are always willing to stop and make time for you.
When you leave some food on your plate, not only do they allow you to doggy bag, but they always ask you if you would like to!
idgo back for sure

Approximate cost: $15
