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!

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.

There are few reviews on Yelp for D.O.C. mainly because the Aussie's don't use Yelp in the same way…read morewe do in the states. If you judge success by the lines, the buzz and the reviews on other sites, you'll have to conclude this cozy neighborhood joint is popular, busy and is serving up some very good Neopolitan pizza, which is fitting in Carlton, considered to be Melbourne's Little Italy. Of course, D.O.C. stands for 'Denominazione di Origine Controllata' and while typically you'll see this on wine bottles to authenticate their Italian origin, you can also certify D.O.C. on pizza. To do so, you need to make two pizzas at the proper level to earn certification: Marinara: tomatoes, oil, oregano , garlic and a Margherita with tomatoes, oil, mozzarella, basil. We found the pizza here excellent, and they had some delicious simple salads, wine and dessert. Pizzas are small, so ordered three pizzas for three people, including their margherita, a meat and olive and a mushroom and truffle. The size of the restaurant is cozy boarding on claustrophobic, with the caveat that were dining here on a warm summer's evening, and the heat from the pizza oven turned up the sticky factor inside considerably.
