Sometimes all you need is a pizza, a bottle of wine and a good movie on the couch to round out a…read morebusy week. That's totally what I needed last Friday so we headed to I Carusi for a couple of pizzas and then headed home to fall in to sloth mode. Once upon a time this place was owned by the same people who own I Carusi II in St Kilda, but I was told that's no longer the case. The menu looks the same, with some of the old favourite toppings still there (I'm looking at you broccoli, lemon, chilli and parmesan) and a few specials available. If you're dining in, bring a bottle of vino because they welcome BYO. The pizzas themselves are good, but certainly not the best I've ever had. The base is a little on the thicker side, which means you probably can't eat as many slices as you'd like. Let's face it, I'm a guts and I love eating an entire thin-based pizza myself. With the pizzas from I Carusi, I needed to tap our after a few slices which was a shame because the toppings were tasty and I loved the overall flavour. I'll be back the next time I need a vege-out night on the couch.

Whenever someone asks where can we go for good pizza or I am to entertain a weekend visitor I…read morealways recommended I Carusi, it simply rolls off the tongue. If I was to judge solely on its Pizza this would be as good as it gets! Its first shop opened on Holmes Street Brunswick and if you blink you miss it, which I have done many times. Its exterior is not the most aesthetically pleasing but it's those who are regulars and are lovers of old school Italian 'cool' knows that rarely matters. It's all about who and what's behind the kitchen that is the real deal! Their second store appropriately named I Carusi II offers a similar lay out, same menu and similar atmosphere. Both the St Kilda Store and the Brunswick store work off a cash only basis and they prefer that you book in advance to avoid disappointment. If you get a chance to look at the menu online I recommend it as there is so much to choose from you will feel you have to give credit to everything! This is why dining in a larger group heightens the I I Carusi experience as share plates are a great way to get started followed by a mix-match array of many pizza choices. I would highly recommend the Salmone - Tomato Base, Marscapone, Smoked Salmone and Fish Roe with Dill. The Americano, Quattro Formaggi and the Speciale -Tomato, mozzarella, soppressa, roasted peppers, artichokes & olives. Who am I kidding I've tried them all... even the Margherita is amazing. Pizza is priced at around $15-20 and servings are generouse. Dessert Pizza is also a favorite with Nutella calzone and white chocolate and peach! Yum.

The lasagna was the nicest Ive ever eaten and the greek salad was huge!!!! It was as big as a dinner plate (and this is in a takeaway container). The other thing I really liked was the cakes they had at the front - there was one called a "Flourless cake" yet it had a flower on top of it! Someone else pointed out that it was a "Flower - less cake" (ie less cake than flower/flour). The lady who served me was lovely and very friendly. I bought 3 cakes - the flourless, the vanilla slice and the caramal slice - all of which were very nice! All in all a great takeaway meal - and I would certainly eat here! A while ago I had tried their hot chocolate and it was good too!

Like any successful pizza recipe, Pizza Meine Liebe keeps things simple but well constructed. This…read moretiny 40 seater restaurant takes it's pizza seriously. Their dough is freshly made, soft and crispy at the same time. They use good cheeses and great toppings. In fact the only thing you could really fault with their pizza is the fact that they aren't perfectly round. Understandably Pizza Meine Liebe is always busy and it is a very small venue. So it can be quite difficult to get a seat at times. They do take bookings, however. Their pizzas aren't exactly cheap at $12-16 for a 10 inch base and $17-$22 for a 12 inch base. But it really is an example of paying for quality with Meine Liebe. You certainly won't be left dissapointed with the quality and flavour fo your pizza. They also are a BYO venue with a $4 corkage charge per person.

The cost was…read moreabsolutely reasonable for what we ordered, just over $35 for 2 x regular pizzas, garlic bread and delivered via menu log. The food was fresh and hot on delivery, tasty and not too greasy. It was nice to have a take away pizza that felt a little more gourmet - not your usual over loaded cheesy pizza fix. We had the prosciutto which was delicious and the mushroom pizza. So good. Cons; prosciutto and mushys were probably cut a bit too thick....Whilst I was appreciative for the generous serves I think in this scenario less is more perhaps. This is nitpicking though, our dinner was very good! Pizza lovers please note the bases are a little bit on the thicker side, but if you like that - happy days! I'll be a return customer!
