Top 3 Pizza in Melbourne
Il Caminetto has been recognised as one of Melbourne's Top 3 pizzas, bringing award-recognised wood-fired pizza to Moonee Ponds.
Recognition
Recognised by 50TOP Pizza
Melbourne takes its pizza seriously, and so does 50TOP Pizza, the influential Italian guide to the best pizzerias in the world. Its inspectors visit unannounced and dine like any other guest, which makes a place among the city's Top 3, something you earn one pizza at a time. Ours is made right here in Moonee Ponds, about 20 minutes from the CBD.
The Craft
What Makes a Top 3 Pizza in Melbourne

Dough by patience
Our dough rests a full 72 hours before it meets the flame. That's why the crust comes out light, blistered, and easy to go back for.

A proper wood-fired oven
Every pizza is hand-stretched and cooked over wood, as it has been in Italy for generations. You'll see the oven the moment you walk in.

Every topping earns its spot
Fresh, locally sourced ingredients on every base, with vegan, dairy-free and gluten-free guests ordering with the same confidence as everyone else.
“Still pinching ourselves. Being recognised as one of the Top 3 pizzas in Melbourne is something we're incredibly grateful for.”
— Il Caminetto family

Awards are lovely, but the pizza is better in person. If you've been searching for the
best Italian restaurant in Moonee Ponds, the wood-fired oven glowing by our door is a good sign you've found it.
