This place was nice when Adrian and Kim ran it. Unfortunately lots of staff changes has hurt the consistency of the food quality. The prices have gone up and the skill set or 'care' has dwindled, a lot like the carlton establishment. It really Looks like the owner has lost interest and put all his efforts into the new store.

Approximate cost: $30

This is the biggest Dissapointment ever. I knew Rocco and he made this place from scratch. Under his guidance it used to pump. Then he was involved in a motorbike crash and passed away. Not long after it seems that this place has gone to the dogs. I really tried to stay here and make it a regular but sending food back all the time just shows me no one cares. This needs to STOP ! The pizza oven burns everything, the food is old and dry tasting. It is doomed and thats so so sad. It was actually rated in the TOP 50 for WORLD PIZZA JUDGE on facebook at one stage in its life but now it's unratable.

OK, Be prepared for the best of best cakes and deserts here. The Unfortunate about it is the cost. You need a second mortgage to have a decent time here and that is a real pity. They know they are good and they know your going to pay for it, and if you can't then the doors are closed for you. Be prepared to see the odd Ferrari, Maserati or Lamborghini out front. You wanted to know how the 1% live? This is it!!!

Approximate cost: $lots

This place has a Ferrari F1 car on the ceiling! That alone attracts people in and to dine there. It's been up and down over the years but it's ok. Check out the car, have a Pizza and do some shopping.

Approximate cost: $40

I can guess that all the people eating here are meeting someone. Its a big outdoor area that sees lots of pizza coming through. What you don't see is the guy at the back slogging away sweating all over your food. I unfortunately saw it and I wont go back. I have been really generous in scoring this after seeing that event, so i scored it on before i saw it. Throw him a towel somone!!

This is a pizza place for the masses. Its not Pizza hut or Dominos, Its much better! I wont put it amongst the ultra serious places as it's not like that. You get a good feed at a good price so if your in that area and hungry you should try this place.

This review is for Chemtune, Thornbury VIC

I had a treatment done to my BMW with Chem-tune which was carried out by Lube Mobile mechanics. After much talk of this product i had to give it a go. I now have 17% better fuel consumption and a very decent power increase. This is good stuff! It cleans your engine internals to a mirror finish and restores your power. The car feels responsive and new again. The cost was $198.00 Seriously a great Chemical treatment that works. They also sell Kits for serious workshops.

Approximate cost: $198

This restaurant's dark wood and brick interior reinforces its casual vibe. It has tables outside which is where we like to dine. Pickled condiments and a chalkboard menu hang along one brick wall, while an elevated eating area brightens the space with a mustard yellow wall and a deco-style painting. Diners can choose from a range of woodfired pizzas from the simple margherita to the gourmet eggplant style (cheese, tomato, sun-dried tomatoes, artichokes, eggplant, fresh chilli). The pastas include old-time favourites such as spaghetti bolognese and cannelloni, while breaded veals, chickens and seafood keep the Italian flavour. simplicity is the key here. The only thing here is that the waiters look really tired!

For $4 you need to go here. During certain times of the day you can get Pizza here for $4!!! You can also get a rewards card which gives you free pizza after showing your loyalty and they put that on your card. This is PIMPED OUT Pizza here and it's a real fun place. The Bimbo ale is also a winner and the place is filled with these weird plastic 'BIMBO' dolls! Upstairs there is a beer garden which is lovely during warm days. WORLD PIZZA JUDGE on facebook rates this place in the TOP 5 for value for money.

30+ Years in the business and this place has had it's ups and downs. 'ol man pompeo' started this place and for me it was like a drug. I spent lots of money here even when i was a child on my bike! Sold of to some guys who changed everything, ended up in receivership and then bought back by the Italian guys who put it back and now it's pumping again. ALL the food here is cooked by Italians and 'mamma' so you are guarranteed greatness. What attracted me was that the 'dreaded' pineapple pizza is a winner @ this place! Also the dough has a different sweet side that i cannot find anywhere else in the world. Don't ask for the recipe, you wont get it. Rated in the TOP 10 on WORLD PIZZA JUDGE on facebook.
