While expensive, this place actually knows how to do pizza right. Sauce was flavorful, ingredients were fresh and high quality, and the whole vibe is just right. If I wasn't the only American at our table of 10, I would have forgotten I was in Melbourne! Seriously though, this place is great. I'd recommend getting there early to get a table as we had to wait more than an hour for a table for a large group, but it's worth it!

"...USED TO BE 'ENCORE PIZZERIA' ~ NOW IT'S 'BILLY'S PIZZA JOINT'.. A DIFFERENT KETTLE OF FISH…read more. OKAY...!!!" A mate of my son's told him a new pizza joint had set up shop, where an old pizza place had been.. Apparently these new pizza's were both "CHEAP" and "AWESOME".. We had to try..!! So, tonight we dropped by BILLY'S PIZZA JOINT on Hoddle Street, ABBOTSFORD to buy pizzas to take home.. We chose from their FAMILY SIZE Traditional range: 1 x Marinara - mozzarella, garlic, clams, prawns and anchovies [just delish.. and not salty, like some..] 1 x Chicken Special - mozzarella, garlic, chicken breast, salami, green capsicum and oregano [we loved this.. nice clean taste..] 1 x The Burger - mozzarella, red onion, beef, bacon, pineapple and egg [really really liked this one..!!] Okay: 1. They were HUGE - 40cms in diameter.. 2. They all had minimal tomato sauce - a good thing - too much sauce just drowns all the other flavours.. 3. The toppings weren't overly numerous - again, a good thing - I'd use the term 'American Style Pizza' when describing our usual 'Aussie Take-Away Pizzas' - Genuine Italian pizza is made using just a few complimentary toppings.. 4. The topping was nice and dry - not watery or sloppy.. 5. They were generous with the cheese and it wasn't overcooked - was still stretchy.. 6. NO oiliness whatsoever.. And YES, they are cheap... we paid $15.90 for each enormous pizza...!!! We'll be back.. absolutely.. no doubt about that.. 'bloody good' pizza for the price..!! PS. They do home-delivery to a big area - as far as Hawthorn to the East - it's all on their website.. Visited on Wednesday 6 January 2016 for pizzas to take home for dinner.

Who's your favourite pig?…read more THE LAZER PIG! You know a place is good when your family creates a catch phrase about it. And you know it's really really good when there's a song. Yup, we have one of those too. "Lazer Pig, Lazer Pig, PIG PIG PIG!" This is a super fun place that suits rowdy groups of friends and families having dinner and has a little bit of something for everyone. The decor is what I call "grandmotherly pub-dive chic" and really sets the scene for a night ahead. Come early for $10 margarita happy hour, or settle in for a night of craft beers and beautifully made pizzas and side dishes. There's often someone playing records in the front bar, complete with disco ball and smoke machine which is great fun for any kidlets that happen to be with you at the time. Miss 4 loses her mind if the smoke machine is in action and carves up the dance floor with her best moves. As well as great pizza we usually order salads, the fried whitebait and on occasion the very good fries served with house-made passata. It all comes out relatively quickly, though expect service delays when there's not enough staff on the floor.

Mind you, giving a place a rating based on a pig shooting lasers out of its eyes would defeat the purpose of rating something, especially if the service was terrible and the food horrible. Well, it turned out that this was certainly not the case. The service was top notch, and when it comes to making pizzas, this place certainly makes the well, and in the tradition sense as well. Expect Italian (and American) style pizzas, as well as a few experimental ones to round out the menu. Oh, freshly cut chips, and some pretty cool craft beers and you certainly have a place that if well worth spending some time at, even if it just the pig shooting lasers out of its eyes.

I wasn't planning on eating more Italian food in Melbourne but I walked into the fancy place across…read morethe street assuming they'd have pizza but it was all pastas. When we got the urge for pizza, +39 came into mind. There were no reservations available online for the last minute decision so we decided to try to walk-in. It was 515pm when we showed up and they told us they would need the table back by 630pm. Not a problem I said and I was right. We were out of there by 545pm. But we didn't feel rushed at all! The food just came out so fast, hot and delicious. The tables are set up nicely, crammed in without feeling too crowded. I love the specials wall and watching the people in the back cook the pizzas. Service was really good, I'm not sure if it's because they wanted the table back or if it's because they're just good. I'm going to go with the latter because I saw good service with other tables as well. This meal felt really authentic. I've never been to Italy but I've tried a lot of Italy-Italian food and this place ranks pretty high up there. I forgot how much a cocktail with amaretto and lime is sooooooo good. I forgot how hot salami might be better than pepperoni. I forgot that arugula salad with balsamic glaze goes so well with red sauce pizza. Pro tip? Order the lasagna croquettes and keep the sugo for your pizza crust and some of that fresh grated parm for your pizza.

For some reason, only some of the tables were set with bottles of water, salt & pepper, etc. whereas others weren't. They didn't have any cash in the register, so I had to pay on credit. All I ordered was some garlic bread and spaghetti amatriciana, but it took well over 40 minutes before I received anything, and when I did, they mistakenly served me penne, not spaghetti, and I had to wait even longer for them to redo it. The garlic bread was bland, and the amatriciana sort of biting and acidic. The service was friendly, but that's about as much praise as I can offer. Sorry, but not eating here again.

Hands down the best Pizza in Richmond.

Although their neighbours at Crust make a good range of pizza and have made a name for interesting and varied ingredients, those who prefer their Pizza the 'good old way' will be best to try this place instead. With a crust that is crunchy on the outside and light and fluffy inside, plus a price tag that is typical of the location but valid, Fruscolino also deliver to the local area for only $2. That said, with traffic in Richmond being some of the worst in town, it's best to pick up and avoid an hour wait. One of my favourite things about Fruscolino is their partnership with the pub across the road, The Great Briton Hotel. As the GB doesn't serve food, they are happy to Pizza deliveries to come to the pub, and the staff will find you in the premises and deliver your pizza to you, hot, fresh and ready to be eaten on one of the GB's many comfy couches.
