La Porchetta North Melbourne

Such good food for the price, very family friendly and always helpful. The salads are HUGE! Also the pizza range is diverse and the crusts delicious. And the bread rolls too.

Some people are never happy! Reading some of the reviews you would think La Porchetta was horrible. What do you expect for a 12 dollar pizza. It's never going to be upmarket food. But in terms of value, it's the best!

This restaurant is a 'MUST ' everytime I visits Melbourne. Even scumacher once eat here (you can see in one of the photo they are hanging on the wall).<br/ It 's tasty Pizza that won 't dig a hole in your pocket.<br/ I 've been to bologna, South Italy I feel that La Porchetta is the closest or similar to the pizza taste that I found comparable to the real general Italian restaurants.<br/ My all time favourite is the tortellini carbonara the original porchetta pizza.<br/ But anything that you order is good or great taste.<br/ If you are on a budget, just order a small pizza or small pasta ask for the free bread with butter free tap water.<br/ Or otherwise if you aren 't on a diet or on your cheat day, get the tiramisu or the ice cream.<br/ It the cheapest Italian Ice Cream you can find.<br/ a Beer or chinotto might be a perfect companion.<br/

I found the pizza to be delicious and crispy, with a thin crust that I really enjoyed. My usual choice is the capricciosa, and I particularly liked the addition of anchovies. The sticky date pudding was also quite tasty, with a delicious toffee sauce. However, I found the pudding itself to be too dense and cake-like, so I didn't end up finishing half of it.

I really enjoy their gluten free pizza with The Lot. And, their Deluxe Pescatore with big prawns and calamari. Have been all over the world, this La Porchetta's pizza is the best. Lots of topping. Crispy base. It's not Roman style, ultra thin but just the right amount of doughyness and crispy. I need to ask for extra cheese as they are light handed with the cheese. It's an extra charge but, worth it. The new shop in Victoria Street takes away the franchise ambiance. It has turned it into an upmarket restaurant at La Porchetta prices. Some of the staff who work here have been there for as long as I can remember.
