Pizza Minded

Best Known For

Gourmet pizzas and pasta dishes such as penne with pork Bolognese, topped with ricotta.

Follow the tantalising aroma of Italian fare to Pizza Minded on Union Road in Ascot Vale, for pizza and pasta just like Nonna makes. Relax indoors among black suspended bulbs, blond wood and a colourful wall mural depicting the food regions of Italy, or perhaps perch on a stool at the front window and watch the world saunter by. Start your Italian adventure with calamari in semolina with rucola, tomato and balsamic dressing; before twirling a fork around perfect pasta plates of spaghetti carbonara, with garlic, chilli, smoked ham, egg and Parmesan. Pick up a slice of tandoori chicken pizza on a Napoli base, topped with roasted capsicum, red onion and mint yoghurt; or seafood marinated in garlic and herbs, best paired with a glass of Italian wine. Don’t go past tiramisu for a divine dolci.
